An audience member threw a beer bottle at the stage before the show started & it hit
Yvonne Elliman in the hand. Clapton was pissed and almost folded the show.
She performed the show with a bandaged hand.

Eric speaks to the audience about the incident at about 3:50 into the intro:
“I want the guy that threw the beer bottle to know that he hurt one of my people.
So don’t throw things, please don’t throw things at us.”

The second song, “Don’t Have To Hurt Nobody” was an impromptu jam inspired by the incident.

During “Willie and the Handjive/Get Ready”, Yvonne sings “throwing your fucking bottles” at about 6:20.

A 24-bit/96-KHz flac24 version of this recording is also available.

Warning/Disclaimer: This recording should not be confused with the series labelled “The Dan Lampinski Tapes Volume XX”. This recording represents part of Dan’s earliest efforts to capture the live concert experience for posterity, hence the series name “Dan Lampinski – The Early Years Volume XX”. Given the very consistent high quality of Dan’s later work, it would have been easy to blow off these recordings and consign them to the dustbin of history, but there are quite a few captures in the series that are well worth circulating, if not for their rarity, but for the obsessive collector types (we know who we are) that want every single second of any recordings of their favourite musicians. So please, just accept these recordings for what they are, another part of the tapestry we weave when we collect and share such things.

Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ’ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit for the original recording.

Dan was very meticulous about taking good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will now circulate among the trading community. Please honour his kindness and generosity by sharing these recordings freely.

The transfers are available as 16bit/44.1KHz flac files suitable for CD burning, and also as 24bit/96KHz flac files for those who prefer the higher resolution.

Always remember – the more generous you are with your music, the more it comes back to you.

Lineage: Low gen tape > CDR > EAC > Flac

LosslessBob entry: LB-2650. has tv band at 16k for dylan part but not the band part; background talking d2t1, d2t5; good sound [C+] has some occasional very light background popping surface like noise on dylan part; discontinuity pop d1t6 3:52, d1t14 0:20, 3:12, 3:13, d2t9 0:14 and probably more scattered; analog drop d1t9 1:44, d1t15 3:25; lots of digi-pops on d2t1 and d2t2; drop d1t7 0:00

Fix of LB-2650: WAV > “The Weight” (the Band) and “Forever Young” (Dylan & The Band) were at the end of disc two fileset. They are now moved to the correct order as per setlist. Track transition cannot verify their correct order because “The weight” [D2T09] seems to fade in with a slight clip on source [“The Shape I’m in” preceding it, is slightly end clipped]. Also, it is probably the last song of The Band’s second set and there is usually an edit between The Band’s set and Dylan’s set following it. “Forever Young” [D2T10] starts with taper (?) talking about “give ma a hand [..] missing one song” (?) which might also explain the edit at its start. Track transition from “Forever Young” [D2T10] into “Something There Is About You” [D2T11] is not seemless > Cool Edit Pro 2.1. Applied “Click/pop eliminator Preset: Hiss + lots of clicks” to eliminate many hardly audible minor ticks across (see [1]DFF.pdf). The process did not produced any artifact noise after pop elimination nor apply any sound mastering. The option also cleaned index clicks present on the FLACs (see [2]DFF.pdf) > Wave Repair 4.9.3 to manually removed micro gaps at indexes and remaining clicks at begining of “Just Like A Woman”. Fixed analog drop on d1t15 at 3:25+27. Analog drop d1t9 at 1:44 left unaltered. Remaining flaws (see [2]DFF) are music/background related > FLAC, sector align.

from lk aud set; The stereo master contained many, many RH channel ‘drop outs’.
These have been repaired by using the LH channel and adding some ‘ambiance’ – so the mono snippit is less abrupt.

abrupt start on d1t1, background talking d2t2, d2t3, d2t5; has tv band; very good to excellent sound [B+] has a few spots of background scratchiness static like on d2t3 or d2t5 2:16, d2t11 1:3x, 2:0x; drops between many tracks and has some discontinuities
