[Location and date from Ahmed Abdullah; personnel from Geerken with corrections by Abdullah. Bass player identified by Abdullah. Abdullah says Michael Ray and Emmett McDonald were not present. The loud oom-pah on A Train, previously mistaken for McDonald's bass horn, turns out to be a heavily amplified Jacson!]
Two newspaper accounts (both from 7/22/77) say there were 18 people in the band, and imply the presence of Pat Patrick (as, bs) and Vincent Chancey (Frh), plus a possible third drummer. It's not clear whether they were there the night(s) of the recording. Dancers identified from the newspaper accounts. [rlc ( Side B says Performance Copyright is 1978.)
Rarely played, but recently cleaned on a Nitty Gritty, plays fine. But see pix: the pressing is fine, but label is a bit off center and a tad raised near spindle on side B (looks handcut). Cover is all white (blank) with cutout for label (a bit of ring wear, tiny tear top left).
NICE COLLECTORS EDITION.
