*Original Notes
This is another curiosity from a tapers aspect. What you get is an FM radio broadcast...but was it intended, and planned by the station KOL-FM...or is it a broadcast of a bootleg recording? I don't know.
Air tape copy was made by Howie...we owe this listen to him. Hi Howie!
The hall tape may have been made by Mike Reid....one of a series of his tapes? It appears on his "for sale" list, but he might have been audience taping while a planned FM broadcast was ocurring. This is certainly not a "board" tape. It would be Mike's best sounding tape if it was him.
Enough of that. Here's a mind numbing night with the Steve Miller Band, It's the drummer's,..Tim Davis'.... birthday, and the band makes the most of it. Tim died many years ago in Arizona. Got diabetes and had both legs amputated...but he would want you to forget that...and dig his work here. This is a party for him!
What Howie recorded was one full side of a standard 7 inch reel at 3 3/4 ips...96 minutes officially...maybe stretched to 97 with conservative manufacturers safe area. My tape is to reel too. This has never seen a cassette. My reel should be a first gen off the radio.
The second set is incomplete. The tape just plain runs out. But you get more than an hour and a half of absolutely stinging blues rock.
A few spots where one channel duffs out, but this won't keep you from enjoying this wonderful show. Let's go:
