I've been sorting through some shows I put on CDR well over a decade ago from my tapes (yeah I wish I still had the tapes but unfortunately and foolishly I tossed them). I recently ripped this one, it's the same source as circulating versions but compared to the versions I have I would consider this a substantial material upgrade and good timing with the recent official release of the June 5th London show.
My original transfer ran at the wrong pitch which has been corrected and some minor tweaking of a few buried frequencies makes it a fine listen indeed.
IMHO, I feel it has a bit more punch than the other versions I've heard, samples provided for you to make your own download decision.
Bruce's first London performance after the stuggles in '75 feels like a man on a mission to erase the memories from six years before when he was touted as the musical equivalent to the second coming of the prodigal son.
I would love to find the masters for all the London shows and hold out hope they will someday surface.
As is my standard practice, I've also included artwork to help identify this version.
