An excellent soundboard recording. Originally, the left channel was weak and unlistenable,
but since it was a mono SBD recording, I ripped the tracks to .wave via EAC and combined them
in Adobe Audition, then copied the right channel to replace the left, then did some very minor
normalizing to eliminate some audio spikes during the first number while the soundman was dialing
it in. The end result is one of the better recordings of MF from the late 70s, and possibly the
only soundboard tape to surface from that year.
This torrent includes a page from MF's personal gig calendar listing this date. As you'll see,
earlier that week he recorded the soundtrack to the movie Uncle Joe Shannon.
