*Sorry, I could not dig out my vinyl of "Apocalypse" & "VOEB" to figure all the titles. Please help if you can.Thanks.
Notes: I got this thing w/ some VERY funky editing. Music was repeated etc.. so I had to cut & join the best I could. For example:
splice/join beginning of D1T3 intros into D2T4 intros
splice/join d2t1 d2t2 (17:51 is where the cut/join is & it's noticible. The quality of the second half is even a little different/better?)
I'm confident that we don't lose any music. If anybody wants me to send the raw discs for a more skilled editing/remastering. Just PM me.
*There's very little disruptive chatting in this recording but there is some."That's a Piccolo Trumpet" etc..
*When the group is all firing the mic IS taxed!
For those of you who are "put off" by the sometimes ornate orchestration of this line-up, there's lots of serious Narada, JLP & JM jamming here. Gayle and strings seemed really infrequent to me.
Original Mahavishnu in the works. Stay tuned.
enjoy
