George Harrison
19 December 1974
New York
Madison Square Garden
Evening Show

Liberated bootleg (BMW 022 A/B, from 2002)

Lineage: audience taper> unknown fiddling about with original tape over the years > bootleg CD > CDR > EAC > wav files > flac frontend > flac files > torrent!

Sound quality: better-than-average sounding audience recording for the era.

This is the second-last date, and third-last concert, of George Harrison's ill-favoured 1974 North American tour.

Being the end of the tour, he sounds more relaxed and good-humoured, even having a joke about the amount of marijuana smoke wafting up onto the stage from the audience.
