LDB Special Series #55

Hello! Here is a new series from my collection. After the Master Series, here is the Special Series.
Out of my 6,000+ shows and radio broadcasts, I have many concerts that were special for some reasons: the setlist, the
musicians, the venue or unexpected events. These are the ones I'd like to propose you. Most of these come from my
cassettes collection, so they will be released at a slower pace than my Master Series! But you won't be disappointed!
I will try to gather the most unusual things I have in my collection and, as always, your feedback and comments will be my
reward for all the work involved in this project.

This one is sourced from FM (WLIR maybe?) and when I ripped it from the CD I got in trade, I had to work quite a bit to
restore it. The overall volume was far too low, with unbalanced between channels in certain portions. All that has been
fixed so now you have a reasonable well balanced sound. I have decreased the hiss (as a result of raising the volume) and
crossfaded where the music ended abrutly. This sounds better than my previous OTB seed. It is a pity that McLaughlin does
not play this kind of music anymore. I felt that he did not succeed in recreating this magic in the following Mahavishnu
line-ups in the 80's, although he had great musicians with him.
