the first part was recorded in june 1974 at the bottom line in NYC opening for canned heat...it was a 3 night stand...so exact date cannot be known...

i dont know where the academy of music came from..its not there...

yes the show was called retrorock, i used to own the vinyl, but i dont know where it went...i have heard versions of this radio show with some strange onstage banter from robbie that was not on my copy of the vinyl..something about being in NY and and translating lyrics into hebrew LOL...

[mayishowyou]

and the audience noise is for the most part fake...

[mayishowyou]

now that im heariing this for the first time in amny years, i know for a fact i have heard an uncut bootleg version of this with much onstage banter...i remember it sounding very unprofessional...
