Notes from Campbell/Trent sec. edition of "Earthly"

There are complete audience tapes of the first set (63 minutes) and of the second (66 minutes).
"The acoustics of that venue were really horrible, but the tape was made from a front-row table" (Jim Powell).
Date and location from Joey M. Newlander and Powell. Pharoah Sanders sat in with the band during the first set. Tunes and personnel identified by rlc, with help from the announcement at the Seattle gig. It is possible that Fred Adams (tp) was also present.

Once again - many thanks to Doyadig for all the help :)

For this seed I choosed the best sounding tape from the 3 I have.
