Recorded from the second row with two Radio Shack tie-clip mics hidden in my grandfather's felt fedora and Judy Weddleton's Aiwa cassette recorder on Maxell Medal tape.

Original analog to digital transfer in 1999 by Kevin Kinney via: Denon DRN700 > Philips CDR765 including real-time track markings by Ed Arnold (Kev and I went to this show together) EACV.09PreBeta5>WAV>FLAC110m

No tweaking of any kind was performed after the transfer.

Personal concert notes: Kevin and I were both blown away by this concert. This was something not easily done as we both had been to some great shows prior to this. To be able to give Kevin a copy of this show not even a day later felt wonderful. Trilok Gurtu mesmerized us with his finger(s) and palms. He used all matter of props to produce his sounds all within arms reach as he sat crossed legged in India traditional garb on the revolving stage. Jeff Berlin was featured in the Valley Forge Music Fair's concert bill hand-out that night on the program but in fact it was Jonas Hellborg announced from the stage. I would like to personally thank John McLAughlin for one of the best concerts per square minute I have ever witnessed. I hope to see you soon.
