comments:
This is a complete (except a couple of tape flips) recording
of a nice long Weather Report concert, their last in Boston
before resuming as "Weather Update" in 1984. Generally the 310
is an okay, not particularly good recorder for live shows, but
I have 2 WR shows recorded on them that came out nice and clearly,
and this is one of them. I did not EQ it and don't think it needs
any, but if you're good at EQ you could make this a B+ quality
without alot of effort. Not much crowd noise during the music at all,
and alot of very nice jazz music here. This is part of glasnostrd19's
Torrentribute to Joe Zawinul, and his historic collaberations with
Wayne Shorter and various friends over the years. I had 3rd row
center tickets to see Weather Update, but I didn't go because I
was psyched for the opener (Mahavishnu) and they cancelled out
so Weather Update played about 3 hours instead. Oh well...
Do not sell this recording.
Trade freely and losslessly.
