Total Time ::: 38:20

::: VERY enjoyable quality for its vintage. Check samples for byte storage justification or blues jollies.
::: Warts: Some clapping at start of #2 & bit in #4. #5 fades out near end. Taper cut off deck 'tween some songs & had a heavy volume control hand - 'twas spun down often & now repaired as best as possible. Fixed dullspots & dropouts but surely missed a few. Incomplete set.
::: 3 weeks earlier than the circulating 1971-10-07 Copenhagen show with this band.
::: Setlist help needed. Not easy to figure out & quite different than Copenhagen! Mayall says #6 title but wasn't sure of the last word - something like "Get Down With" as noted. #2 likely titled "Nobody Treats Me Like You Do" or "Get Along".
::: "Memories" had already been recorded but not yet issued.

Recording Information ::: unknown equipment -> mono audience master tape -> 1st generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette, Dolby B on.

Playback 2015-09-xx ::: 1st generation Maxell XLII-90 cassette on Nakamichi 680ZX cassette deck, Dolby B on, azimuth adjusted for individual tape, heads cleaned & demagnetized -> Sony Linear PCM Recorder PCM-M10 (LPCM 44.10kHz/16bit WAV files) -> computer -> Audacity [normalisation to remove DC offset, channel/phase alignment, fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch, bump, pop, click, dropout & dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, -2.3% averaged pitch (speed) fix with single pass after frequency analysis & with pitchpipe verification, NO equalisation] -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. First uploaded week of 2015-10-10. (NOTE: There were tiny glitches at one point for 3&1/2 minutes every .8 of a second, presumably on the master. It sounded like sh*t, so I patched every single one of them, now you can't even really tell where I worked!).

Line-up (very short-lived) ::: John Mayall: electric guitar, vocals, harmonica, keyboards // Jimmy McCulloch(*) - electric guitar // Larry Taylor - electric bass // Keef Hartley - drums.

(*) Wikipedia edit: "James 'Jimmy' McCulloch (1953�1979). Scottish musician/songwriter/guitarist. Lead guitarist in Paul McCartney's Wings ('74-77). Also played with One in a Million (formerly The Jaygars), Thunderclap Newman, & Stone the Crows & appeared on many LPs, including John Entwistle's "Whistle Rymes" & Roy Harper's "Bullinamingvase".

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

DimeTravel 214 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Seems like a lot of time has gone by since my last couple of Mayall uploads, so... More than a bit notable, this recording is from a period where Mayall usually had horn players, but here we got a set without. Except for Keef, the band had completely changed by the time of the USA tour in October. Also cool that it is the same band but quite different than the Copenhagen set that circulates from 3 weeks later in this short tour. Should feed the frenzy for a day or two. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
