One of my early live radio recordings and it had some issues (the Fisher receiver and my FM reception). A 60Hz hum and a high pitch tone at 8.1 KHz were removed with iZotope RX4A. Removing the 8.1 KHz tone makes this very nice sounding. Some dropouts were repaired by pasting the opposite channel over the defect.

Not found at wolfgangs vault or the concert vault. only thing I found was a couple different unofficial releases. Figured this would not be stepping on anyone's toes and it should be OK to share. E-tree has this performance as being on April 13, 1975 and that might be a broadcast date My notation on the R2R box was clearly February 1975. The show right after this on my tape is from February 13, 1975 (Gentle Giant). So I think e-tree is in error but I can't be positive since it is so long ago. Found another date that seems more realistic to me, 1974-07-18. I have used that date for this presentation. Whatever the actual date of this show it is a very good performance and Linda sounds great.
