Bill Evans opened playing solo piano in place of Shakti,
who were supposed to play at this show too,
but they couldn't make it and had to cancel out.

do not sell this recording.
share freely and losslessly.
first seeded in 2008,
reseeded in 2023 with same flac/fpt files,
and renamed torrent file and folder
because "oregon26feb77" doesn't quite cut it.
unfortunately neither set is anywhere near complete
and the sector boundaries were never aligned
fortunately none of the tracking is during music,
so it shouldn't be too noticable.
the absence of Shakti, who were also supposed to play at this show,
is impossible to not notice and a huge disappointment,
but this was a fine show from the original Oregon.
