Original Notes via dgkdgk (2005-01-19):
Truly no information about this one. I taped it but neglected to actually write down the date. It was at the Schaefer concert in Central Park, NYC in 1976. Twelve tracks, the first couple are U-Roy, with the Mighty Diamonds backing up. Quality is pretty good but it was recorded on a small Sony, probably the TC55, rather than the 152 or 153 that I normally used.

New Notes (2026-03-31):
---- Opened for Toots & The Maytals
---- Speed Correction settings: tracks 1 to 3 (-1.05 to -1.23 semitones), tracks 4 through 12 (-.24 to -.45 semitones)
---- Thanks to dgkdgk for the recording
---- Thanks to U-Roy, The Mighty Diamonds, Copeland Forbes & Virgin Records for existing
