As all of my shares are, these tapes are sourced from my collection. I believe that this will be an upgrade to most who have it. As great as these shows sound, my copies ran very, very slow. They now sound like they should !
The first of two shows performed on this night. Both sound very nice/excellent. The second one sounding slightly better. Both sets are really great. The crowd is very into the music and are largely quiet during the performance, which makes for some amazing live "fade-outs" . . . in fact, check out the end of "Owed T' Alex" here . . . WOW ! Needless to say, Bruce Fowler is incredible. The Air-Bass is super !
After Don recites " The Dust Blows Forward . ." he tells the crowd how great they are because of the fact that they stayed quiet during the piece for him. ( The version of " Well " from the second show is crazy amazing and again Don lets the crowd know that he thinks they are wonderful. ) HEADS UP . . the "Bass Solo" at the begining of the encore is a little bit loud, seems the taper hit record at the last second. It will not mess up your speakers or whatever, but it is a bit of a jolt ;) ( very thick bass sound ! ).
As with any show in which Don is comfortable, he really lets loose. I think these shows fall into that category. Enjoy.

OK. Here is the late show. As a few of you already know, when I did the transfer I discovered that side two of the late show was blank. Bummer. Not sure what happened there. I am uploading what I do have because it sounds great and it just may be the best version that we will get here. If anybody has the full show in better quality, please do share. Even if it is not as good, I would really like to have the whole set. Thanks.
Mentioned above . . a seperate folder with the track "Well". I did that because the track on the main set is indexed too tightly. Instead of doing it all over again, I simply ripped that song over. You can insert it in place of the track within the main set if you'd like.
Another great set. The versions of "Well" and "Ice Rose" are easily among the best I have ever heard . . . worth the download for those two tracks alone ! When Ice Rose ends Don and Bruce continue to duet together for almost two minutes. It's great.
I wanted to take a few moments to testify about how much I'm enjoying this series of Beefheart posts. You've allowed me to replace a number of shows which I previously obtained and then lost in the days before I became vigilant about archiving my FLAC files, and for a few - these two in particular - which I hadn't managed to get my hands on before now.
Thanks for these, and, in general, for running an excellent blog.
