Sly & The Family Stone
September 10, 1970
VPRO radio session [live no audience]
Piknik Kasteel Groeneveld Baarn
Amsterdam, Holland

From 1971 rebroadcast: off-air reel source with splices from an alternate source.

CD: 31:26
1- Thank You 5:45
2- > M'Lady 4:46
3- Sing a Simple Song 5:33
4- Stand! 5:23
5- > Dance To The Music 4:55
5- > Music Lover 1:44
6- I Want to Take You Higher [reprise] [cuts] 3:16

This is a fixed version of what was recently seeded, which has serious digital dropouts for some of tracks 3 and 4 - now cleaned up by splicing in sections from an alternate source of similar sound quality. The show has also been normalized which improved it all a lot to my ears (listen on headphones if you have any doubts).

No lineage info on the alternate source but it's from the shorter rebroadcast and is low gen.

I'm hazy on exactly what "Piknik Kasteel Groeneveld Baarn" means as to the venue, place and radio show but I've had this previously listed as Baary, Holland "Piknik Show" VPRO session. I've also seen it listed as 9-2-70, so 9-10-70 might have been the original broadcast date with the info I had being for the recording date. Any clarifications will be appreciated.

Thanks to the previous seeder!

Here is the description from the previous upload:

PLEASE NOTE:

This isn't sourced from the 2CD "Thesaurus of Funkasaurus" bootleg.

Instead its a superior source :-)

Lineage: 1971 VPRO FM broadcast>Revox Reel2Reel-deck>WAV>FLAC

Pristine Stereo Soundboard

The sound on this transfer is much more lively and its also (more) complete compared to what can be found on boots (that i'm aware of, anyway) There's a little FM dropout in the right channel during the start of Stand, thats the only flaw I could find.

A Lossy version of this can be found on the VPRO site, from a 2003 re-broadcast

Enjoy and in case you're wondering if this any better than the version you have let me assure you : Yes, its very likely a upgrade in sound quality, and also likely the complete show.

ENJOY!
