Ginger Baker - drums
Jonas Hellborg - bass
(?) Jens Johansson - keyboard

The accompanying NY Magazine listing states that this performance is Baker, Hellborg and Johansson, but there does not seem to be any keyboard in the mix. Instead, there may be a guitar, but it's difficult to tell given Hellborg's virtuosity on the bass. The taper does not recall one way or the other, guitar v. keyboard, duo v. trio, but does remember that Baker, who chain smoked, would finish a cigarette, toss the butt into the air, and hit it with his drumstick, launching it into the audience.

The tape flip was towards the end of track 06, and has been cross faded. The music is, presumably, from this album: https://www.discogs.com/master/13962-Ginger-Baker-With-Jens-Johansson-And-Jonas-Hellborg-Unseen-Rain

Enjoy!
