This was a long night of music in celebration of James Booker broadcast on WWOZ. Performers took the stage throughout the night. Perhaps this was a precursor to what is now known as piano night. Here are two sets from the show.

There are a few blemishes on the recording: a slight fadeout and one brief instance of noise of unknown origin. The first of these can be heard at the end of sample 1 in the comments section. All in all,very listenable. If anyone has a better recording, please share.
