It's a long time ago and we are not sure about the name of the tracks. If someone could help to correct the setlist...

In those times I went with my brother, who recorded the show, to this concert of Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It seems that from this concert are only 3 tracks recorded beside our own recording (titled: Tarkus, Toccata and Rondo). Of course I dont't know anything about this fact.
My brother owns still the billet of this concert.

The recording is mono and taken without Dolby. The cassette-recorder Schaub Lorenz SL 55 has - I say it better in german - eine regelbare Aussteuerungsautomatik (automatic adjustable level...), which helps to find the correct level without destroying the dynamics of the music. Also the pre-magnetizing of the recorder was already set on CrO2-Tapes by my brother.

During the recording there is no talking of the audience at all!!! And further has this recording no misses! One existing lack however is the reverberation due to the fact that we've had a place too far away from the stage. A mistake happened during track 2 (Tarkus): the micro must have been hidden for exactly one minute - so the treble were away just for one minute.

It was not quite easy to find a level even so high that it produces no distortion before the recording to harddrive with audacity 1.3 beta. We had to balance the level between left and right just a little bit. Afterwards we dissociated the tracks (Titel,dt.). That's all what is done on this recording.

So,

enjoy!
