Notes:
-traded as from November 1975, but it must be earlier than that because Billy Cobham was playing
with George Duke by then
-the concert database online for Billy Cobham says he played in Lansing on March 10 1975, so I
suspect the Detroit show is right around that date

-at the start of track 2, they start playing Red Baron for a few seconds, but Billy calls them
out and they switch on the fly into Crosswinds

-I suspect this is from a recording of an FM broadcast because audience noises are fairly
prominent in the mix and there is a high-frequency tracking signal, but who knows for sure
-there are several cuts in the recording (after track 2, 7:08 of track 4, 1:31 and 10:31 of
track 5, 5:14 and 10:30 of track 6)
-phase corrected by varying amounts (8-15 samples)
-automatically balanced levels
-transferred slow, so speed corrected by varying amounts
-tracks 1-first cut of track 5: +1.6%, first cut of track 5-first cut of track 6: +1.2%, and
the remainder of track 6: +0.5%
