Luther “Guitar Junior” & The Magic Rockers
Nightstage
Cambridge MA December 6, 1985

Nightstage was a wonderful club with great sound in the heart of Cambridge MA across the street from the Necco Wafer factory.

The soundman has his booth upstairs over hanging the main floor. The speakers were mounted to the ceiling. This show was recorded on cassette from 2 microphones perched on the soundboard booth, right in front of the speakers. I recorded many shows that way until the new soundman made me record through the board, which didn’t make for as good a mix in this size room with the kind of setup it had.

Luther Johnson played the room more than any one during the club’s early days; mainly because he was among the premier regionally based blues artists (and because his manager was the booker for the club!).

This recording, made from my master, has never been circulated before.
