unfortunately the 1st tape with about 45 minutes more of this concert has gone lost, but this is the remaining part after that, and sounds like it ends with the conclusion of the show.

disc 1

d1t01. /Black Satin
d1t02. Rated X
d1t03. Honky Tonk
d1t04. Right Off/

Notes:

  • D1t01: The beginning of this song is missing along with the preceeding Intro.
  • D1t03: starting at about 8:30 there is a gurgling type noise. Not sure exactly what this.
    It continues into about the first 30 seconds of track 4.
  • D1t04: The track is cut at the end.
  • Many thanks to Freekjazz for the tapes and D. McCabe for the mastering and transfer.
    This tape came lableld as 9-24-1972 (See Peter’s notes below). Through some comparison
    it certainly fits the bill for this date. I would love to hear some of the other sources
    of this date. The sound very good. Wish the show were complete.
  • “This set was broadcast live on WBCN-FM radio. The closing announcement mentions that
    the Davis Nonet is at Paul’s Mall “for the rest of the weekend” — probably from Thursday
    the 14th through the following Sunday, the 17th. Another set, probably from a different night,
    was recorded by someone in the audience and is sonically inferior. See the listing for
    september 15-17, 1972 for details.” – Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/
  • “Super Sonic wrongly lists this music as recorded “live at the Quaker Jazz Festival,
    Philadelphia, NJ / September 24, 1972.” In addition, the track indexes are wrong:
    1.Black Satin (9:31); 2. Rated X (15:13); Honky Tonk (9:34); 4. Right Off (11:45).
    The Luxury CD is subtitled “WBCN Broadcast New Master” and the sound is imporoved over
    other issues.”- Credit to Peter Losin, http://www.plosin.com/

  • t01 and t07 fade out while Miles is still playing
  • This source is a little brighter and less muddy on a few of the tracks.
  • Thanks to Peter Losin for the source!!

Corrected DC offset of each channel of all tracks separately.
Pitch of tracks 01-04 was approx. 122 cents sharp (1.22 Semitones.)
Pitch of tracks 05-11 was approx. 109 cents sharp (1.09 Semitones.)

Some fluctuations in speed/pitch may still be evident. The piano’s out of tune, while the other players are naturally a bit ‘flexible’ as well…

This is a great opportunity to hear some of Miles’ best live playing with some different, excellent players. Thanks so much to the archivists who provide the sources for these rarities. As you can see, this one’s been circulating for quite a while in quite a super-fast/sharp state. I couldn’t let things continue in that fashion (although all previous versions can’t be recalled with this replacement, unfortunately.) Hope y’all enjoy it at a much more appropriate speed and pitch with this new edition, and please share this one!

A seemingly uncirculated performance. Taper unknown. Received in trade by Chris Hecht. Cassette marked “1st gen.” There is a tape flip after Northern Muse and a second in the middle of Summertime in England. Both had already been faded in/out, which supports MC > C by the person making the C(1) tape.

As with many Van Morrison recordings, the vocals are mmrph luh rrrble da bada. Ozone 8’s Vocal Richness preset helps a bit, and also brought up the levels and put a little polish on things Still, the vocals are often incomphrehensable.

Baby Please Don’t Go through Brown Eyed Girl is a medley, as is the It’s All The Game > Make It Real segment, which may be the best part of the show. The crowd certainly reacts well to it.

https://etreedb.org/lookup_show.php?shows_key=27618 lists Bright Side of the Road and Tupelo Honey as the last two songs, but neither was present on this recording. That setlist was imported back when the db got started. The setlist was probably derived from Wavelength magazine (not the surfing one) and is probably correct.

The Band:

Van Morrison with …
John Allair – organ
Bob Doll – trumpet
Tom Donlinger – drums
Pee Wee Ellis – saxophone
David Hayes – bass
Chris Michie – guitar
Annie Stocking – backing vocals
Pauline Lozano – backing vocals

Fun stuff, enjoy!
