I recorded this several years ago. The reason I never shared it is the big “hum” and other noise in this recording, especially in the Intro DJ and the first 2 minutes and 2 seconds of Eggs And Sausage. I tried to clean it, but wasn’t able to remove the “hum” without damaging music. The interfering noise reduces during the course of the show.

Om 2016-12-26 there was a rebroadcast. Unfortunately I was driving home from work at the beginning of the broadcast. I drove as fast as possible but only managed to record (this time digital) the last 2,5 songs (not added to this upload).

In the intro Hubert tells us he doesn’t know who recorded this. He was present at the show but he had the flu. He was covered with a blanket because of the fever. Two days later the flu was over. He calls it “The healing force of music”.

Decent recording for this vintage. New Feeling cuts in on second verse, might be a
song or two missing before that (a newspaper review of this show mentions that The
Book I Read and 96 Tears were also played). Some tape damage audible here and there,
not too bad. The “tick tock” sound heard on quiet parts is from the recorder’s motor.

Note from the taper: Recorded at CBGB on a crappy cassette recorder. This was recorded
on December 21, 1976. The group was still a trio; you can hear someone in the crowd ask
“What’s Jerry Harrison’s status?” Enjoy! – James Britt.

notes on the remaster

Hello again! Here is a very special treat courtesy of one of my best friends of the last, oh, 25 years, my pal Irin, a professional soundman in Brooklyn, NY. He was kind enough to send this to me, it was taped directly off the radio (WLIR-FM, Garden City, NY) by him in 1984, and it’s a b-e-a-s-t!

All the bootlegs I have ever run across of this performance are all from multi-gen tapes and sound horrifyingly compressed… the one on the Scorpio label (“Wild Weekend”) suffers from a ridiculous amount of compression and contains practically zero high end, whilst the other one I have (remastered by NoSpEx in 2007, I believe, from another source) is also from a mulit-generated tape and suffers from a pervasive clipping & distortion in the low end due to what he described in the notes I saved from that torrent as a faulty original digital transfer over which he had no control.

So, given that the performance contained herein is such an indisputably ripping scorcher, it seems appropriate to finally get this puppy circulating from a bona fide first-generation source, thanks to Irin. In this remaster I stayed away from EQ and noise reduction and whatnot, especially because of the other versions I mentioned where such things are prevalent to the point of intrusiveness. Bottom line is that this tape has survived the last quarter century in terrific shape and I really felt it didn’t need any artificial enhancements, especially since Irin’s transfer was so well-done & tasty to begin with.

All I changed was a few repairs of the isolated static (not too many, maybe twice in the whole show) and some channel dropouts and whatnot. The tape flip (first few seconds of “Both Ends Burning”) was patched using the aforementioned NoSpEx remaster, which I EQ’d paragraphically to get a closer sonic match with the main source (not easy because they were very different-sounding indeed). Hopefully it isn’t too intrusive, but at any rate it’s just a few seconds so no worries.

Someday, a pre-FM master of this will surface… a while back when whoever it was was torrenting all those WLIR masters I was seriously hoping for this one but I guess he didn’t have it, oh well. Until it surfaces this will probably be the best version out there, so give it a spin and see what you think… it’s a massive upgrade over the other versions, at least, IMO.

OK, enjoy, seed away when you are done, and remember we’re here to groove like we mean it and to share like we’ll die if we don’t.

PS–Irin runs a website-with-accompanying-podcast-of-excellence called Ambient Chaser, check him out at http://www.ambientchaser.com early and often, OK?

Thanks of course go to him for taking the time to record & transfer the tape, to Le Musique Roxy for burning down the Calderone like they did and thanks to you for downloading this most stompin’ show.

Reseed Note:

I like my music tagged so i tagged all the files and therefore had to make a new md5 file.
I also added an ffp file.
Other than that the files are untouched and as they came with the original torrent.

Tagged & re-seeded on DAD by surfling april 2010.

All thanks go to Irin for providing and transfering this incredible tape in the first place
and to emperor nobody for cleaning it up and sharing it here originally!

SBD > ?
This is a hissy SBD, indicating a cassette gen or two in there somewhere.
The music, on the other hand, is perfect.
This is an awesome show, exactly 2 months before the Last Waltz.
