comments:
This is a complete recording (maybe missing some talk for 1 tape flip after track 6
ends but no music is missing at all from this concert.) Most of the tracks end with
talk about the next song played. This is the second of 2 PWC shows I recorded and
first to get posted (the other will come in September) and like the other, this comes
directly from the master cassettes. Both have good sound quality, the other is from
Berklee P.C. and this from Sanders Theater, which both have nice sound quality. if you
like your discs better balanced for time you may want to put track 9 at the start of
disc 2 (it's about 20 min.) since the second set is alot shorter than the 1st one.
I have put it like this so each set is on one disc.
Some may not know it, but PWC was a major influence in the music of Oregon
(Ralph Towner and his great group) and the music they play may give you an idea why
that is. I don't know if they brought the wolf with them for this show, when I saw them
in 1978 they did, first time I ever saw a live wolf in concert. (accapella, sort of,
for part of it). This is my 1st posting of a Paul Winter Consort concert, from
what I understand they didn't play nearly as many concerts as Oregon has, but they
have been around about as long. Sanders Theater is a nice little place, good sound
if you're not off to the side (that's never good anywhere), and I had a pretty good
seat for this. Yet another 30 years ago recording posted from a glasnostrd19 master
for the very first time in 2008. I used to have their NPR broadcast from 1978 but that
tape was stolen in the early 80's (along with a few others) and I've never heard it since
do not sell this recording.
Trade freely, losslessly and gaplessly.
