I've recently been purging a lot of CDR's acquired in the 1990's/2000's and have a stack of shows to share outside of my usual master series that appear to be uncirculated or under circulated.

I'm not sure where I originally got this one though it's likely from my buddy in South Texas. It was simply dated Phoenix 1975. For the 1975 stop in Phoenix Commander Cody opened the show. Jerry Jeff played Phoenix twice in 1974, once in February on a bill with Randy Newman and then again on August 17th.

The August 17th show is confirmed to have had Jerry Jeff's great backing band The Lost Gonzo Band open the show. Since we have two opening songs captured of the Lost Gonzo Band this is definitely the August 17th show.

Though definitely a low-fi audience recording, it is a quite listenable and any captures of Jerry Jeff during this time period are a gift.

Thanks as always to goody for going the extra mile on this one getting us in tune and the original taper wherever you may be.
