Freezer's Notes:
 
Same seat, same recorder, same brand of tape, same mics as used for 4/26/73 Alice Cooper & Flo and Eddie; 5/14/73 Led Zeppelin; 7/3/73 Edgar Winter Group & Frampton's Camel; 7/11/73 War, Tower Of Power, & Jam Factory ... and a lot more but this is what I remember off the top of my head. -- However, each concert had their OWN or rental PA system -- This particular night the P.A. system was a rental from PACE Sound, quite possibly the worst P.A. rental company ever in existence. 
 
 
The predominant attribution of a Pace P.A. system was the over-abundance of mid-range.
 
 
Pace was the only sound re-enforcement company to get booed regularly ... Anyone with a copy of the May 14, 1973 Led Zeppelin audience recording that I taped can hear the difference, as Led Zeppelin supposedly had their own system and sound guys that worked specifically with them -- personally I'm not sure as Led Zeppelin really didn't mean anything to me and still doesn't. 
 
 
This concert was taped on the night before 4th of July -- note the firecrackers going off intermittenly. 
 
 
No whistle on this recording, I didn't need one as nothing was hand-held; so the whistle was kept in my pocket. The recording was made from the first row in the balcony, there's no one in front of the microphones. 
 
 
No noise in front of the microphones, and the sound of the audience is distant.
 
 
And the microphones were stationary, balanced on the house PA speakers, cushioned by my shoes and sox.... orange sox and red and blue suede shoes....one microphone aimed at the stage and the other aimed at the stack closest.
 
 
Again, no information will be given out on the recording device or the microphones. If that's unacceptable, I suggest you pass on this recording and just paitiently wait another 37 years until a different recording of this show appears. Maybe that one will be the one you want. Oh well.....Good luck with that.
