Stevie was still recovering from his near death in a car accident in August 1974…
[he suffered a contusion in his brain and was in a coma for a few days — hence the song “Contusion”..]

2020 notes:
OK, this is obviously one of the acknowledged 100 best boots of ever, but it seemed it could be made into a better version of itself that does more justice to the totally inspired mayhem of the music. It needed to get way smoother at the (jagged, abrupt) track transitions… and of course there was the matter of the (terminally ugly) fade to cover the last two and a half missing seconds of Contusion. I reconstructed that from the German “Musikladen” performance of several days earlier, and I think I got it nice enough to where if you didn’t really know, you might not suspect it wasn’t played this way. There were a few digiclips here and there as well, which I eliminated one by one like I always do. I also made Signed, Sealed, Delivered and Visions a little bit louder, as they were kinda less volume-robust than the rest of the concert, made a new thumbnail art thing and titled and tagged it all with new fingerprints too. Then there was the eternal debate over the date(s), which I think I solved by looking on a website about the hstory of the Rainbow Theatre, which had photos of ticket stubs and posters from back in the day… this illustrated that the formerly agreed-upon date of January 31, 1974 was wrong, as there is incontrovertible evidence the Doobie Brothers played the Rainbow that night. Stevie played January 24th — the day after the German TV gig was taped — and February 2nd, according to more ticket stub photos I saw at http://www.rainbowhistory.x10.mx/1974.htm. It might be assembled from one or both of the 1/24 and 2/2 dates to make some sort of broadcast reel — the spectral analysis goes only to 15k and indicates an off-air FM capture, but who knows? — or a dry run for an actual live record, I just cannot say exactly. The Rainbow history site mentions that Stevie handed his glasses over to the audience at the finale of the February 2nd show, and that happens at the end of this tape very clearly, so if I had to bet I’d say most — or likely all — of it is from that date. No matter anyway, as this generally plays a lot more like just such a lost official live record now, meant as it is to celebrate Stevie Wonder’s 70th birthday on May 13, 2020. Long may he Clavinetize us all, all the way up to the very highest ground!–EN

Notes:
In 1972, The Who did an orchestral version of Tommy with the London Symphony Orchestra and guest
artists. Two shows in one day were recorded! One was officially released – its not that hard to find and
you get to hear Rod Stewart sing Pinball Wizard, Richie Havens sings Eyesight to the Blind and even
Steve Winwood sings.
This version features other guest artists (see the tommyinfo graphic and the artwork for a list) and is
a kick-ass addition to my Who collection.
Everyone’s heard the cd Tommy. Most of us have seen the movie and seen and/or heard the 90’s musical
version of Tommy but few of us have heard Orchestral Tommy!

I was out doing yardsales recently. I had the SYF hat on and was looking for some fans for the hot Tucson summer. Got to talking with this one fella and the GD came up. He said to me after hearing about LL that he had some tapes. I asked him if he knew where they came from. He said “I cant tell ya man”. I thot he meant that he ” didnt know cant tell” but out he walked with a lil treasure chest of some cassettes. The cases werent pretty but the tapes were high end pro tapes. I asked him again where he got them and again he said “I cant tell you” but it seems your folks in the trading world might like them Well, i got home and found too many treasure to note. He told me they werent always on the best dubbing deck and some had been played and were at least 25 years old (some older) but he was sure that these versions were recorded by what he termed a “dear old buddy” and official channels and he had them for years and years and would like some of them to see the light of day. As always, More to come.

Comments from the original uploader:
* w/ material from previously circulated MacDonald shn fileset.
The MacDonald source is missing less than 30 seconds of material from Drums and there was overlap between sources so that a complete performance recording is possible.
The Drummers apparently never leave the stage during Drums, and Space is short brief, and TOO-theme infused leading up to a Vesuvial Phil bomb TOO explosion. The encore is absent from Bill’s source and was patched from the prior circulating recording which by comparison has better dynamic range and more high frequencies which is entirely related to the microphones. Bill’s recording sounds great from close stage proximity and during the quiet passages in the second set its pretty cool to know that you are listening to Jerry’s guitar amp directly than the PA. There is a lot of close up noise at times. There is more bass on this recording though the high end on the previously circulated source is much cleaner and crisper. Still, for a 26 year old type I maxell master cassette made with a boombox, it sounds pretty good. I wish i had a picture of Bill with a ghetto blaster taping a dead show up close to the stage in london no less…
