Notes: This was Miles Davis' return to live music tour. Previous to
this tour, Miles had supposedly retired. Apparently retirement
didn't agree with Miles, so he recorded 'The Man With The Horn.'
The night of this concert, Miles was recovering from pneumonia,
and you can tell. However, the soon-to-be-stellar band more
than made up for Miles' illness by giving the performances of
their lives.
On my way up the road to the Hollywood bowl, I looked over and
realized I was walking right next to Chick Corea, Al DiMeola,
and Gayle Moran (Chick's girlfriend at the time). I said
hello, and they were very nice in return.
My seats were incredible box seats, dead center in the
Hollywood Bowl, in front of the mixing console. This
recording came out as one of my best quality shows from the
Nakamichi recording days. I gave this recording an A+ based
on its sonic qualities -- sounding better than a standard
studio release.

Fixed equalization on first two minutes of recording. Now it
doesn't sound like the microphones were in my pockets (which
they were).
