Derek and the Dominos
November 26, 1970
Music Hall
Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S.A.
This is a combined version that uses parts of both of the 2 copies that have been seeded already at:

and:

It turned out that the recent (Mid Valley) seed is better sound quality but was missing a few parts - mostly the stage announcements with a funny intro of the band and the last 5 minutes of Why Does Love Got To Be So Bad. The 3rd splice is about 20 seconds between Sweet Little Rock & Roller and Tell The Truth where Eric says thanks.

unknown different lineage commercial bootleg CD's from the same original master recording > FLAC files > xACT decompression > Pro Tools (minor "nip and tuck" edits, normalization & retracking) > AIFF > xACT (FLAC level 8 files with sector boundaries verified). md5 file created with checkSUM+.
Besides combining the 2 sources, many level fluctuations and dropouts were eliminated seamlessly. All adjustments were done manually in Pro Tools - No EQ or noise reduction. There are still places where the sound quality varies some because of microphone placement changes. In any case this is very good to excellent audience sound quality (especially for a 1970 recording). Please check the samples to to hear most of the transitions between the 2 sources and to get an idea for yourself how it sounds.

from Geetarz comments:
"As usual, Mid Valley takes aim and knocks the ball out of the park with another stunning remaster that leaves all previous releases in the dust. An audience recording but very listenable, probably the most so of any of the Dominos' audience recordings. But the real treat here is in the jam at the end with B.B. King, on "Every Day I Have the Blues", which is wonderfully rearranged with a punchy R&B type feel. Great stuff!"
Visitor comment on Geetarz:
"After the Fillmore concerts this is probably the next best recorded release of D&D in concert. It does tail off a bit soundwise towards the end, but nonetheless is still very good. B.B. King joins them on the last track for a bit of a jam which all concerned seem to enjoy."
