This is DEEP PURPLE again at their improvisational best. These are some of the wildest and best versions of these 5 songs live.  Back in this era Blackmore & Lord are the true "leaders" of the band and they display this with their musical bravado. 1970 is Ritchie Blackmore's year. There are alot of great guitar plays in the field of Rock & Jazz in this era of music, but no one has yet to bring classical music to into their guitar playing, at least not on the level that Mr.Blackmore would. At the very moment of this recording the "Man In Black" is without a "peer".  The dexterity in his playing and his willingness to go out on limb and play totally of the cuff without structure is beyond even Hendrix & Page at this point. This is the "Golden era" of Ritchie Blackmore...for pure improvisational guitar playing, he was damn near this year impossible to beat! And then there is Jon Lord...In the wake of progressive Rock in the 70's, Keyboards we're becoming more and more popular and many a musician started to make a name for themsleves just like the "Guitar Slingers". Keith Emerson was on the rise as well soon would be Rick Wakeman. But Jon Lord really is the name one typical thinks of when thinking of a heavy metal band having Keyboards. And rightly so....who else would jokingly refer to themself on stage as "Rick Emerson". lol It is stated in an interview by Ritchie Blackmore, that after hearing "Whole Lotta Love" on the radio in late 1969, that DP needed a new singer... Hence the arrival of Ian Gillan. The similarities to the two singers styles is obvious if your an Elvis fan. Gillan & Plant were both huge Elvis fans. In fact DEEP PURPLE is likely the only band to ever scare the shit out of Zeppelin with their own streched out "over top" improvisations.

Notes:
Here is a real find, and something I have been looking for for quite awhile, the legendary Criterion Demos made by Jackson Browne in 1970.
It includes early demo versions of most of the songs from his first album, but more importantly, about half of the 19 tracks are never-released songs by Jackson. Some of these unknown songs are startlingly good, but were surprisingly never developed any further for future release. Unlike the much earlier Nina Demos (made in 1967), which contained mainly undistinguished, forgettable, or uncharacteristic songs, this is the Jackson Browne that we know and love, just in the early stages. Thus, this is a treasure trove for fans, but has been very difficult to find for even dedicated Jackson Browne fans. No more. Here it is. Big Thanks to Chuntao (http;//www.raremps.co.uk)
for finding this and making it available.

Background: Jackson signed a co-publishing agreement with Hollywood's Criterion Music in the fall of 1969. These demo tracks were recorded in early 1970, prior to his hooking up with David Geffen, which took place later in 1970 and the recording of his first album which took place in 1971. In fact, it was this demo version of "Jamaica Say You Will" from the recording session at Criterion Studios -- which Jackson sent to David Geffen -- that attracked Geffen's attention. The track included backing by J.D. Souther (on drums?), Glenn Frey, and Ned Doheny. This was not an official album, nor was it ever intended as an official release. It was merely Jackson Browne making some demo recordings in his role as a staff writer for Criterion Music. These recordings were intended to be used to promote Jackson's songs to other artists for recording.

This has been something I've had for a long, long time, and every single time I've traded it, the person I've sent this to has been blown away at the upgrade from whatever source they had owned before. Since I've not seen this show on Dime, and folks claim that this is THE DEFINITIVE COPY, I thought I'd post it. Instead of posting a CD copy of the tape that I had, I borrowed the tape from the person I got my copy from. I'm glad I did, as his tape turned out to be a very old Maxell Metal particle tape, which is the way he rec'd it from a Zep trader at least 20 years ago.

I've heard of several different boot LP's that have been made of this show, and this is supposedly not from any of those. The recording is so clean and sharp that you can really hear every minute thing that happens on stage,,,,,comments that Ozzy makes under his breath, guitars being plugged and unplugged, every little thing, very loud and clear. Some pops audible between songs have been debated as being LP surface noise, but with constant plugging and unplugging going on between songs, I don't think that's the case. The main things that convince me that this is an actual source tape are the lack of cuts which would be indicative of a boot LP of this length(at least four sides of wax), and the inclusion of ALL of the between song dialogue INCLUDING almost 2 solid minutes between the main set and the encore of nonstop soundboard audience noise through the on-stage mics. None of that is common in the boot LP world. Even though the opening intro is missing, this is also the longest, most complete unedited version.... from what I've been told.

I am not a Sabbath collector by any means, so if anything here is not accurate, let me know.
I do believe, however, that this is VERY possibly the best version available of this amazing show!

From the original notes :

Lineage : Fisher Receiver > Dokorder Reel-to-Reel @ 3 3/4 ips on Ampex tape (Sony TC-160 w/ no Dolby) (Master Reels & 1st Gen Back-up Cassette) > Phase Linear 1000 > Sony DTC-690 @ 16/48 > Hard Drive (via toslink) > Audacity (editing and conversion to 16-44) > CD Wav > Flac (Level 8)

Broadcast on 95.5 KLOS-FM in Los Angeles and simulcast with ABC TV "In Concert" over 4 weekends.

This is the stereo FM Simulcast.

My tape is a bit worn and my receiver was never the best quality, but it's not real bad quality either.

The antenna was re-positioned during (part 1) Seals and Crofts "Fiddle" song and again during Rare Earth's song "Big Brother".

Trying to get better reception but ending up with some momentary break up.
The first few minutes of tape 2 are slightly worn out but gets better (it was my car tape).

Sourced from my "off the air" master reels (and 1 first generation back-up cassette becuse the reel vanished many years ago).

The splice at 8:35 of part 2 (Emerson, Lake and Palmer) would be the ABC censors removing the line : "Performing on a stool we've a sight to make you drool, seven virgins and a mule, keep it cool. keep it cool". Amazing that in 1974 the same folks at ABC that screwed with the Smothers Brothers 5 years earlier were still at it. Saving us from indecency one sentence at a time.

Many small volume dropouts from worn tapes and the DAT transfer were removed but some sound disturbances remain in places.

Short segments of mono here and there to modify technical issues or just because it was like that.

Fade in/out and splices performed as needed.
No equalization or digital postproduction noise reduction.
(Used the Phase Linear 1000 auto-correlator during transfer to DAT).

The Deep Purple set is available in better quality on a variety of bootlegs (as is the complete Black Sabbath set ).

Did not find any of theses songs available anywhere from any official labels. This is the way the Cal Jam was broadcast in 1974 for those that are curious.

AND THAT WAS IT FOR THE CALIFORNIA JAM BROADCAST WHAT A DAY.

This certainly brought back some memories for me. Here we go. Don't remember who got it started but a group of about 10 of us went to this show. We took off the day before and spent the night sleeping in cold cars. Woke up bright and early and got in that long line soon after. Caught sneaking in some alcohol so we chugged our little pints of 151 rum at the gate.

Starting off with a good buzz at 9:00 am.

We sat about 300 feet from the stage (and that was still the front!). It was a stock car racecourse and the back of the crowd was about a mile away. The sound was fantastic with big speaker towers at the stage with another set maybe 500 feet back and then another set even further back. We were in the right spot for the quadraphonic sound system.

The opening band was Rare Earth and then it was Earth Wind and Fire next.
There was some brown mescaline going around and In traditional rock festival form everything became very mellow after that. The Eagles came on and Jackson Browne was sitting in with them. Jackson was a favorite of ours in those days and we really enjoyed the Eagles set.

Seals and Crofts had a very well rehearsed folk jazz sound and I was impressed.
Black Oak Arkansas were good and weird as you would expect.. but that bass... mmmmmm (feeling very mellow now).

Then came a crowd favorite who were flown over from England just for this performance.

Listened to Black Sabbath laying back with my eyes closed and it felt like cool waves of sound rolling over me in the hot afternoon sunshine. It was so hot the venue was passing out those gallon plastic milk containers full of water which you took back into the crowd to share with your friends. Sometime during the afternoon we saw something way up front arc across the crowd. Then another and another and another 20 more and then a wave of a 1000 more and that wave was coming towards us. Next thing you knew it was raining 10,000 of these plastic milk jugs full of water. Everyone really needed that as it was a brutal hot day and the "rain" felt good (just don't get hit on the head!)

It came time for Deep Purple and the crowd became very excited. The Live in Japan album was very popular around this time. There was no doubt about it that Deep Purple were at the top of their show. It was a long wait for the sun to set as that giant yellow ball was blinding the crowd.

Deep Purple finaly came on stage just as the sun started going down. I can still see Ritchie Blackmore blazing away on his guitar with a red sky sunset behind him. At one point there were white flash bombs exploding on stage completely blinding everyone.

Now as the day has gone and night has come it was time for THE MAIN SHOW.
My friend Mark and I had just seen ELP a few months previous at the Anaheim Convention Center. So everyone was expecting a mind blower and that was exactly what everyone got.

Brain Salad Surgery weirdness sandwiched between beautiful piano playing and with that incredible drum kit going off behind it all. Greg Lake sitting down with an acoustic guitar to play his set and slow everything down for a bit.

Then it was back to the crazy antics as Keith Emerson paced the stage shooting sparks out of his mobile keyboard. Carl Palmer keeping the beat straight while a grand piano goes up in the air turning over and over with Keith strapped in and somehow playing uninterrupted. Then it was back on the ground as Karn Evil #9 makes full use of that quadraphonic sound system building up to a big closer.

As those final notes swirl in faster and faster circles about our heads fireworks start exploding around the racecourse and those afternoon visions were stirred back to life.

What a day and what a way to close out my first and only big rock festival.
.. now we have to drive home and I am glad that I am a passenger.

These audiotapes were well played for some months at least and show signs of wear. The original reel of tape 2 disappeared and all I had left was my car copy on a cassette. No thoughts back then of the possibility of sharing this with others years later.

Hope this trip in the way back machine was enjoyable for you. It was very interesting to hear all of this again. Amazing that I was there and I can still remember some of it. A couple cells left undamaged by the 1970's.

NOTES:
There is a better quality alternate audience recording of this concert in circulation (if anyone has it, please upload it). This version was transferred from a gen1 cassette tape to CD-R by Truls Meland, an old-time Van collector (may he rest in peace). He sent me the CD-R transfers in order to tree this show via the Van Morrison online community @2000. I’d grade this a B or possibly B+ in sound quality.

COMMENTS: Adobe Audition 2.0 has been used to:

3) normalize some tracks at the same level.

Note that there is an edit before track 15 which cut out about 20 seconds of music.

Note: 
Both Lohmann and Losin give this as an "audience recording," but that is clearly not the case. A frequency analysis suggests a soundboard source and not an FM broadcast. This has been issued as a bootleg titled "Social Music," however it is unclear whether this particular set, received on DAT, came from that bootleg release.

This is THE PERFORMANCE of Santana, between the greatest ever done in almost 50 years of career. The band was clutch and furious on the Freedom tour and, as you may see here, even tried some Jimi Hendrix and other Buddy work from the 70's. 3 hours of fire, if you haven't got it yet this is your time. I know this show appeared here a couple years ago in 2 different video forms(DVDset and straight broadcast video file), when it was re-broadcasted incomplete by German TV MDR. Recently, I saw an Youtube user put the whole package online, might be a copy of the original broadcast by DDR.

Comments:
George Harrison was famously averse to performing in public, having only embarked on one full-length (disasterous) tour in 1974 in the twenty years following the Beatles' breakup. Lured out of retirement by Eric Clapton, he played a two-week tour of Japan in late 1991 backed by EC and his touring band; despite rumors of a broader North American and European tour, no further dates were scheduled.

With the exception of this one. This was a charity event for the "Natural Law Party" at London's Royal Albert Hall the following spring; George played a somewhat truncated (95 minutes) version of the Japan setlist, augmented with guests Joe Walsh and Gary Moore to open the show. Eric Clapton was unavailable to reprise the role he'd played in Japan, so Mike Campbell (of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) filled in competently. Other guests during George's set included Joe Walsh on "Roll Over Beethoven," and Gary Moore and Ringo Starr on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."

Following this show, George withdrew into seclusion again. He performed at "Bob Fest" in New York later that year, and guested with Ravi Shankar on a VH-1 special in 1997, but this was his last headlining appearance. He ultimately died of lung cancer in December 2001. (Many thanks to commenter "Marc911" for the additional detail included above.)

In terms of sound quality, it's not the best recording but certainly good -- and more than acceptable considering the historic nature of this show. Dynamics are good but not great, the overall mix is solid, and there's not really any close-mic audience interference to distract from the listening. The taper was either a ways back from the PA or not in a good taping location, so the recording sounds a bit distant. (Given that I'm holding a 1992 recording to 2013 taping standards -- for the era, it's very good.)
