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:
Before I had a VCR, I rigged up a way to record the sound off of my TV. Most TV's
during this time frame did not have an audio out feature, so I purchased some sort
of "black box" thing that supposedly did something to help you play your TV sound
through your stereo. I opened my back cover on my TV, and got a cable with
alligator clips, that I attached to each of the inputs to the TV speaker. That ran to
the "black box", and then to my reel to reel deck. Understand that TV sound back then
was hardly high fidelity, but it was at least respectable, and worth having. The biggest
shortfall in sound was the high end.
This is the last gasp of JO JO GUNNE, circa the release of their fourth and last album.
I remember the show also featured FOCUS, GOLDEN EARRING and BLOODSTONE. Since
most of the shows were shot at the "Aquarius Theatre" in Hollywood, it's highly likely
this one was taped there as well. This is the only live thing I have of JO JO GUNNE
performing material from their last album. Enjoy!
