All 3 shows are very well recorded in
a small club atmosphere-maximum capacity-685
I don’t know how the club was set up for these
shows but Bimbo’s website lists capacity from 125 to 685.
So if you yearn for the days of old-with a small club atmosphere
-then these are the shows for you.
OH-I forgot-there are horns everywhere!!!!!!

19 Full Force Gale

Known Faults:
-None

I could not locate this on the tracker, it’s a good audience capture on the distant side with not quite the punch one would like. A little improvement after mastering, an enjoyable listen of a good show.

There was a break between the first “Full Force Gale” and “The Mystery” but the audience sounds the same, distance and recording sound the same. I mention it because “Full Force Gale” appears again and there is a chance the last (two?) songs may or may not be from another show.

Thanks to MR for the file set…artwork included…
