Bonnie Raitt - 12/2/72 probably Cambridge MA

18-Aug-02 - I (Kevin Zaleski, www.leopig.com) spent considerable time editing three source CDs from this collection into this 2-CD set. I removed silence, removed a duplicate track, patched a two-part track back together, removed 10-15 minutes of the band tuning up (they needed to re-tune after nearly every track), shortened the pre-encore applause and smoothed out several rough track transitions.
Note: I did not bother to fix the track indicies, I only fixed the audible problems.

Please, if you trade for this show: leave a link back to www.leopig.com in case someone wants the source recordings. This is the best quality show of hers from the early 1970s that I've ever found, it has historical value.

Location unknown, date as reported is unverified, 1st and 2nd shows, soundboard.

In July of 2004 I received this info:
I got a copy of this from a trader who told me he dubbed it from a reel to reel to audio cdr. This might account for the track markers. I also have copies of the opening act Maria Muldaur for 1 if not both of her opening sets. I was told this is from a set of old reels that were purchased at a garage sale for I believe $1 each. There were some other rare perfomances with the garage sale reels including Mance Lipscomb, John Jackson, Robert Pete Williams, Skip Spence and Dave Bromberg. The source is likely in the Cambridge MA area as it was given as the location fro some of the tapes. All were apparently recorded in later 1972

It appears that someone did a haphazard hack at some source tapes (bad track indicies, etc,) to make the three source CDs from which these two CDs were produced. The source quality and performance are outstanding, especially considering the age.

The voice track is skewed mostly to the right channel and the bass track is mostly in the left channel; otherwise an excellent recording (clean and crisp).

I'm guessing on the titles with (?) ...
