Taper's Comments:

1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!

2 - Show description & comments follow:

In putting this together I noted with sadness that the entire band has left us.
What a loss.... This recording always reminds me of what could have been, if the
taper hadn't under recorded it. Under recorded at a Jimi concert?! That sure sounds
strange, but you'll understand what I mean once you hear it. I think if somebody
had the time and expertise to work with this, it could be made to sound much
better. Everybody I knew in the days of my Hendrix trading said this was by far
the best quality version of this show they'd heard, which makes sense since I
lived in the Baltimore suburbs when I got it. If you've got one that sounds better,
then post it! Enjoy!
