An excellent quality soundboard from the 1982 tour that appears to be under-circulated. This one ran extremely slow and took a major correction to get to the proper pitch. It was also just a touch flat and I've widened the stereo spectrum to give the highs a little more headroom and I think it really shines. 

A little context around the timing of the show, James mentions that he had been in Martha's Vineyard earlier in the day to bury his good friend John Belushi. Maybe it's my imagination but there seems to be just a little extra emotional edge to the songs on this night. 

Venue was not identified but may be the Sportatorium which appears to host most of the bigger shows at the time which James surely would have been considered a big show.

I was actually at this concert at Radio City Music Hall, but I don't remember much as a classmate of mine and I got convinced (by a soda attendant, no less!) that Mr. Taylor himself would come out and see us. We waited most of the show there. Oh, those days of misspent youth! At least she was nice to look at... 
It's funny how things come around. I had torrented part two of this show a while back. I hadn't seen a copy of part one since the early 1970's, but I attended a local record convention about a month ago and there it was, along with another copy of part two. Fortunately the record was in fairly good condition and the pressing wasn't too terrible. It's now been combined with the second set to make a complete show. If you still have the second set you can dump it into the second LP folder and it will speed your download. I'd have to rate the show right up there with James' best, and the recording at about an 8 out of 10. It's a really well-done performance. For some strange reason LP2 required major speed correction, but LP1 was fine.

Goody adds: 
Note that ~1'51" of Joni's intro to "Carey" in Track 07 was carefully edited out for the broadcast, for some reason. 
The complete intro is included in what's called the Aircheck tape's Track 17. The missing bit begins at ~01'39" and ends at ~3'30". 
Track 18 of the Aircheck tape is the same performance of "Carey" found in Track 07, but not the same track.

Notes
"This is an FM broadcast on Pittsburgh radio station WDVE.  I taped it way back when and wore it out in my car's 8-track player.  In the early 90's, my business advertised on the station; the sales rep asked if he could get me anything.  I said "sure... have someone dig thru the vaults and find this show."  He got me a nice cassette copy which I had converted to CD... did a few trades/trees over the years.  Nice to see it make it here.

I'm a big JT and Jackson Browne fan.  Lindley joined JT's "usual" group of musicians for this tour in the summer of 76.  
His versatility adds so much to the song arrangements.The violin on Riding on a Railroad and banjo on Carolina In My Mind are two great examples.  I love the lap guitar on Honey Don't Leave L.A.--Lindley and Sanborn's sax are incredible.  
This is the best live version of Fire and Rain I've heard as Lindley makes his lap guitar sound more like a pedal steel.

After this tour, JT's musicians (Kunkle, Kootch and Sklar) joined Jackson Browne, Lindley and a couple of others for the tour which produced the Running On Empty LP.
