::: EXC stereo AUD for it's vintage. Check samples to ascertain distain or desire.
::: Warts: Repaired dullspots & dropouts but surely missed a few. Taper cut deck between some songs. #09 cuts.
::: CONTRAST CLAUSE: This is a REMASTER of Doinker's original "Mk1" upload. Re-seed at www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=555655
::: CONTRAST CLAUSE: This is the Mk3 version remastered with EQ to liven it up. Mk2 version without EQ may be found elsewhere.
::: I prefer this version hands down. Only negative side effect I heard was some slight added hiss, is FAR outweighed by the benefits.
::: *DATE* Prior uploads said 1971-08-13 but various lists & DIME's expert gv0000 place the band in El Paso,TX that day.
::: Original upload had a song at the end that was actually War, one of the opening acts on 1971-10-15.
::: Along with War, the other opening act was Edgar Winter�s White Trash.
::: The band played San Bernardino the 15th, Bozeman, MT the 16th & back to Long Beach, CA the 17th (crazy!).
::: 1971-05-15 NYC Carnegie Hall gig was 5 months before this & was issued as "Live In Concert" in October.
::: Wikipedia says "Live In Concert" issued in December but during Toronto 1970-10-30 Joe says it's already out.

Doinker Lineage ::: unknown stereo reel-to-reel recorder & microphones -> stereo master reel-to-reel -> Sound Forge -> pitch correction to commercial releases (as best as possible) -> level 6 flacs via FLAC frontend, sectors aligned & verified. (There were several cuts in the master & some glitches needed to be smoothed over).

DimeTravel Remastering 2018-03-xx ::: flacs from stereo master reel-to-reel tape -> TLH -> wavs -> Audacity [normalisation to remove DC offset, channel/phase alignment (fixed or reduced the effects of the wandering broomstick!), fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch, bump, pop, click, dropout & dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, pitch (speed) left alone - seems to vary a bit but Doinker did good, NO equalisation or noise reduction] -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. First uploaded 2018-04-07.

Line-up ::: Joseph Fidler "Joe" Walsh - electric guitar, Hammond B3 organ, vocals // Dale "Bugsley" Peters - electric bass, background vocals // James Kent "Jim" Fox - drums, percussion, background vocals.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

DimeTravel 411 ::: Thanks to the original taper, & trader, DIMER Doinker! ::: Corrections welcome ::: A Walsh-era vintage James Gang series to liven up yr listening choices. This recording is incomplete, but it SMOKES. Will have you re-evaluatin' yr air guitar prowess & head bangin' in fine fashion. This EQ'd Mk3 version really rocks the house, my walls were shaking. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees

Doinker's original notes: "Heavier than your turkey dinner! Coming at you like a lead-plated steam locomotive, this (net weight=very heavy) show features Joe Walsh in his most get-down mode. Seriously, you're gonna need some antacid after swallowing this babe, because the music is just going to sit there for a while after taking it in!" "A note about channel balancing: This concert was recorded with two microphones taped to a broomstick. How they got that along with a not-so-small recorder into the Swing in California (hot weather - no jackets or coats!) during the month of August is beyond me. There were 2 people to make the recording: one to hold the broomstick, one to operate the recorder. The one holding the broomstick didn't always pay attention & the broomstick got rotated during the show - thus the up-and-down levels & changes in clarity. There is a major jump in sound (for a while) after the tape is flipped or shut off after the first 25 minutes. Some thanks are in order here: My son Alex for help with getting the setlist as straight as possible, Ol' DocTinker, for the inspiration to continue putting out these masters (there are more of them, of course), "Mrs. Doinker" for continuing to put up with my "addiction to Dime & that 'damned computer' (she thinks she's lonely sometimes... hmmm...)" & finally to LJ for providing a new set of peepers (LJ is our new cockatiel). Enjoy!! A DoinkerTape"
