Comments:
I made this mix very “wet & nasty”. I really wanted to capture the energy of the crowd and the band reacting to it. This new version I believe will cast a new light on the 1980 tour. I did my best to include as much in between song banter as possible. The Aud taper often paused his recorder in between songs to save tape apparently. The warts of the Aud & SB recordings have been left in. Drop outs, crackles, etc. Kashmir switches from SB to Aud source midway through the song.
Regarding Kashmir, I have taken the unprecedented step of offering two versions of the song. One version has the tremendous screw up in the middle of the song edited out. The other version is the “warts & all” version. I leave it up to you to decide which you want to listen to. I think you’ll prefer the edited version.
Track Listing:
