Very fine wide stereo audience tape. Check samples to calm fears & induce anticapatory bliss, or for just a little snort.
MANY level adjustments by taper - most repaired & now a MUCH better listen than my original tape. Fluctuations in 1st song settle down - just wait! More info below.
(?) Tape labeled only "UMass" so almost certainly Amherst or Boston. After many hours with tape & audience, I reckon it's Boston.
The new Steve Miller Band here includes 3 ex-members of Frumious Bandersnatch..... Incredible, joyful, transcendent jamming in a number of places.
The taper must have had a great spot with one mike towards the stage, the other towards the P.A. stack - great separation.
The taper or his companion start laughing between the first 2 songs & we get, "I just burned myself on a joint."
