Notes

Terry Adams, Joey Spampinato, Steve Ferguson, Al Anderson & Tom Staley (from the time when Ferguson had rejoined NRBQ for awhile).

I copied my reel from the taper's master in 1975. The previous seed had the lineage as: FOB NAK 700's > Reel > DAT > CD, but I'm fairly certain that my copy's lineage was: FOB > 2 AKG D1000 microphones > Dolby B Sony TC152 cassette master > Tandberg 9241XD reel at 3.75 ips speed. Since the edits were slightly different on the 2 versions, it is possible that there were 2 recorders running masters but they do sound like the same source to me.

For the early show my reel was similar sound quality to the previous seed but had a bunch of tape dropouts, so I used the previous seeded version but added a few missing seconds to the beginning and end of the set - a bit more of the announcer intro and the final song of the set now completes without fading out at the very end. The levels at the beginning of the first song were leveled off and a few minor dropouts were also repaired seamlessly.

For the late show, my copy sounded better than the previous seed and did not have much of the dropouts that my early show reel had, so the late show is from my 1st gen. reel. A few seconds of talk before "Terry's new song" were spliced in from the previous seed.
