This torrent is taken from disc one of the Jazz Door bootleg ‘Another Bitches Brew: Two Concerts in Belgrade’ (disc two to follow).

There are many fine recordings taken from this 1971 tour and this is up with the best of them, with the band in its usually fine form.

The recording quality is very good, although the mix is a little skewed and reverberant. Shouldn’t cause anyone any major problems though, I’ll give it a B+.

The original CD issued the whole concert as one long track. I’ve separated the pieces.

Details of the show can be found on Pete Losin’s Miles Ahead site: http://www.plosin.com/milesahead/Sessions.aspx?s=711103

Please note that, as with all the shows from this tour, Losin lists tracks 3 and 4 together as a single title, ‘What I Say,’ although I maintain they are two separate pieces (the first part does not appear on 1970 recordings of ‘What I Say’). Discographer Enrico Merlin has argued that the first part is a development of ‘What I Say,’ so I have banded these pieces separately and referred to them as ‘What I Say, parts 1 and 2.’

Enjoy!
