Kool & The Gang
Veranos De La Villa - Escenario Puerta Del Ángel
Madrid, Spain- July 3rd, 2011

Dennis Thomas - the alto sax founder member - who was with the band the week before at the Glastounbury festival, was not with the band for unknown reasons - to my little knowledge - and was highly missed.

Notes from the taper: "This is my first booleg recording. No external mics and stuff, just the recorder and the built-in mics. I was at a nice spot just behind the soundboard, so it doesn't sound too bad specially after jasfunk worked on the audio a bit and considering it was an open air venue. Pity that the people around me was too talkative, specially during the first songs. I guess my friends are newbies too, when it comes to have some of their friends recording the show so they kept on talking to me while recording."
