draftervoi's comments:
I bought this show on a used cassette tape on Ebay, so I don't know anything about its generation. Whatever it is, it's fairly low, a good copy of the concert. There's an obvious tape flip in the middle of an extended jam at the end of "Rock and Roll Hoochie Coo," but it falls in the middle of the guitar-hero jamming, so it's not too much of a distraction. The tape was a low bias tape.

They mention that it's being recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour, but it doesn't look like the KBFH ever broadcast anything from this show. The show was the second show of the evening and Derringer's voice sounds slightly strained in a few places, which might explain why it was left in the can.

A bit of history: This concert took place two months into the Iran Hostage Crisis. At one point, Derringer shouts out an uncensored "F*ck Iran." And after the show, the WNEW deejays ramble on for a bit about the concert. Normally I would fade that out, but as they veer between apocalyptic comments about nuclear Armageddon and prosaic banter about Bert Parks losing the Miss America gig. It's a piece of history, so I've preserved all of it.

Many thanks to Draftervoi for making this available through his Voodoo Wagon blog.
