Memories:
Sometimes taping concerts became a real pain in the ....
Once in a while Mark and I went to shows without Sue along to sneak the deck in for us.
This was one of those times and we just couldn't get the recording equipment past security.
Rejected 3 times at different gates we were becoming frantic as the show was starting.
A plan was made in desperation.
I went into the Victoria Station restaurant, which bordered the amphitheatre.
Mark went into the show and snuck past the hedges and over to the grass area by the restaurant fence.
Tossed the backpack with a $500 deck over that 10-foot fence and right into Marks hands (whew).
As you can tell we got in just as the first set was ending (about 30 minutes late).
I was very disappointed at coming in so late.
You can hear me saying, "your kidding, that was it" at the end of the set and Mark replies "a short intermission".
The stress of sneaking the equipment into these events in Los Angeles was becoming too much for me.

If you are listening on headphones you might also hear my boss at the record store (Slipped Disc Records) telling us, "you get this on tape boys" just as Aqua Marine starts the second set.
I miss Kevin he was one great friend and a wild man.
Those record store years in the 1970's were legendary (to us anyhow).

No equalization, compression or noise reduction (except the Dolby).
This turned out to be a nice Santana show and the sound quality is excellent for an audience recording.
Sure glad Mark caught that backpack.

Sit back and enjoy another live recording from Mike and the B-Man (no John or Sue this evening).
