This came on two DATs marked "I" and "pt 2" respectively. The split was after Jamal Thomas's percussion work. It's not clear if this was a single 2 hour 40 minute set or if the only break was at about the two hour mark. Either way, this is a lot of funk to pack into one performance.

Songs tend to wander into each other and you're welcome to disagree with it or the song titles.

The levels on the second DAT were peaked at +0dB more than 100 times, although the signal did not distort. They were considerably higher than the first tape, although they come down eventually. A little EQ keeps Rodney Curtis in check. Some of the quieter parts are noticeably quieter, especially the 2% jazz. Even with some tinkering around, about 25 minutes towards the end is very loud. Which is how it should be....

Enjoy!
