thanks very much to statsfax for sharing this recording with me.
It may even be from his own recording.
comments:
this is apparently a close to complete recording of this show,
although the taper stopped the recording between songs to try and
conserve tape space. (cassettes weren't cheap in 1971) I have
spliced in some applause to try and smooth that out some. It's
not a hi-fi recording, probably recorded on some dictaphone type deck
with auto levelling built in mike, and the loudest parts show that off,
but it doesn't overmodulate on my tape. maybe a little bit in the original
one but if so not much at all. it came out decently for an aud of this era
and the quieter songs sound up front and clear. I think there's just 1 encore,
maybe question was an encore but I suspect last song before encore. This was
a very nice show. hard to find an early 70's Moody show that isn't.
apparently while 1970 and 72 Moody shows are (relatively) common,
and several are listed in etree, some with setlists, this is the only listing
for 1971 Moody shows, and it had no set listing at all. this was the best
I could do. for some reason, 71 and 73 Moody recordings don't seem common at all,
even though any Moodies of early 70's or before is really something alot of folks
enjoyed hearing then and would like to hear today. The Moodies were among my very
favorites before I ever had a chance to see a show of theirs. this music is timeless.
if the world is still here in 2409, alot of people will still like hearing the
Moody Blues from the early 70's. the 68-71 period is my favorite of theirs.
I think alot of folks will want to hear this.
