A HUGE THANK YOU to nadir53 in trusting me and the swiss mail ..

this show and the next day in zurich are so far the only shows featuring a live rendition of WHY, a holy grail for many heepsters.
this is the very first time these shows have been transferred to digital from their original sources.. 2009-03

if not for nadir53 saving his copies many of these great concerts in switzerland in the beginning of the 70s would be lost.

a lot of information on this gig and the zurich one came from Konstantinos.



taped by *C* using a sony cassette recorder of unknown model number and unknown stereo microfon
onto a hitachi c-90 (120eq)
this master cassette was given to nadir53 by the master taper.. so what we have here is actually off the master !
