Wild Turkey Live at the San Bernardino Swing Auditorium 1972-03-17 Master AUD Reel To Reel mp3 sample

This Wild Turkey show had been sitting on my hard drive for quite some time. The reel had been listed as being from the Swing Auditorium, but there was no date. Fortunately, there were some clues as to when it was.

On the same reel was a Black Sabbath show, also from the Swing. That will be forthcoming at some later date :). Although nothing could be found listing a date at the Swing on Jethro Tulls' MOI site, a date could be found on Black Sabbath Online. The date was confirmed as March 17th, 1972. On that date, the following lineup appeared (and Gawd, wish *I* had been there!)

Wild Turkey
Yes
Black Sabbath

I do not know if I have the Yes show or not. It will take a bit of further digging to see if the Yes reel is from this date, or from another venue.

This appears to be the entire set that Wild Turkey played that evening, with a small cut at the beginning of the last track. The sound quality is miles ahead of my previous Wild Turkey post. As noted, this is a much earlier performance than the Winterland show. In fact, Glenn Cornick is introduced as "having played with Jethro Tull". If anyone of you know which date Mr. Cornick left that group, please let me know.

I have to thank Dime member Tmat44 for providing a beginning to find the track names for this torrent. Through his comments on the previous torrent, I was able to get all the track names straight this time around. Of course, if I got it wrong, please tell me.

Setlist is different than the last torrent, also:

One Sole Survivor
Twelve Streets Of Cobbled Black
Battle Hymn
Intro of Glenn Cornick - Butterfly
Traffic Island Part One
Traffic Island Part two (beginning cut)

No eq or manipulation was performed to this music, aside from having to boost the left channel of the last track.

The band was touring the "Battle Hymn" album at the time this show was taped.
