Checking the DIME-bot, i found out that our dear friend Rasensteine upped a recording
of this concert here - with unknown lineage, tape generation, and a total playtime
of around 48 minutes DEFINITELY NOT complete - on July 9, 2009, it was removed after
232 days from DIME on February 26, 2010.
This upload has NOTHING to do with Rasensteine's uploads !
IT'S THE FIRST DIGITAL TRANSFER FROM OUR OLD 1st GENERATION TAPE,
WITH ALL THE INFORMATIONS AVAILABLE AFTER MORE THAN 3 DECADES !
No further story to tell, except it was another trade with "RG"
(famous for, inter alia, his Jimi Hendrix recordings...) and
his great group of nice and truly friendy maniacs...read more

WEST, BRUCE & LAING (...also known as)
Stadthalle (the venue, that's "city hall")
Vienna (the city)
Austria (the country)
April 04, 1973 (the date)
Vienna (German: Wien; Austro-Bavarian: Wean) is the capital of the Republic
of Austria and one of the nine states of Austria. Vienna is Austria's primary
city, with a population of about 1.7 million (2.3 million within the metropolitan
area, more than 25% of Austria's population), and is by far the largest city in
Austria, as well as its cultural, economic, and political centre. It is the 10th
largest city by population in the European Union. Vienna is host to many major
international organizations such as the United Nations and OPEC. Vienna lies in
the east of Austria and is close to the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary.

as far as we know NONE of this torrent was used commercially...
the complete tape we got, back then:
========================
01. Don't Look Around <West/Palmer/Pappalardi/Collins> § 5:37.48
02. Pleasure <West/Bruce/Laing/Brown> 5:12.21
03. Why Don'tcha? <West/Bruce/Laing> 7:25.68
04. Third Degree <Eddie Boyd/Willie Dixon)> 6:59.10
05. Mississippi Queen <West/Laing> 1:55.60

08. Powerhouse Sod <West/Bruce/Laing/Brown> 4:51.52
09. Politician <Bruce/Brown> 4:51.56
encore 1: +
10. Sunshine Of Your Love <Clapton/Bruce/Brown/Constantine> 7:12.12
encore 2: +
11. The Doctor <West/Bruce/Laing/Palmer> $ 5:06.62
total running time: 53:49.07 minutes
the notes:
§ -> fades in at the very beginning of this song
% -> short cut @ 1:10.99 - song cuts out later completely, missing the Corky Laing drum solo...see also: $
+ -> applause cutted on original tape during the concert (recorder off/on)
$ -> song cuts out nearly at the end, again by reason of recorder problems
The "West, Bruce & Laing Setlists" in the "Mountain Tour Archive" here
http://home.comcast.net/~gv0000/WBL%20Selists.pdf
lists a reverse running order of the two encores. As i left all the crowd
noise and the recorder off/on during the encore intermissions the same way as
on the original recorded tape, you can easily check that their list seems wrong...
the musicians:
Leslie West aka Leslie Weinstein - guitar, vocals
John Symon Asher "Jack" Bruce - Bass, vocals
Laurence Gordon "Corky" Laing - drums, percussion
lineage:
recorded by RG (or one of his friends), audience to analog tape
the recording:
unknown microphone > unknown portable Cassette-Recorder (without any NoiseReduction) > unknown cassette type
the snail mail trade (early 1980ies):
Cassette Master > Unknown Cassette Deck Transfer (NO HIGH SPEED DUBBING, NO DOLBY) > 1st gen. Cassette
(TDK SA 90, 1-7/8ips Super Avilyn, High Bias (CrO2) Type II, 135 meter tape)
the transfer:

> lonetaper's secret box of miracles # > CD Wave (tracking) > Traders Little Helper (SB aligned/level 6) > FLAC > DIME
# RAW FILES - so NO additional NoiseReduction or EQ'ing was used here,
and none of those compressors, Sonic Maximizers or other psychoacoustic
processors - just some of the instrumental plug-ins reduced, balanced
the stereo channels (just a touch) and finally normalized.
THERE IS SOME TAPE HISS AUDIBLE (not too distracting...) !
this upload here comes directly from the "Men With Microphones" archives.
if you want to know more about, check the old uploads...lotta stuff to read !
And if there's some interest, maybe there is MORE TO COME...
it just depends on YOUR demeanor, and lotta useful comments ;-)
West, Bruce and Laing were a blues-rock power trio super-group consisting of Leslie West
(guitar and vocals), Jack Bruce (bass, harp, keyboards and vocals) and Corky Laing (drums
and vocals). In 2009 West and Laing teamed up with Jack Bruce's son, Malcolm, and began
touring as West, Bruce Jr. and Laing
The trio formed in Chicago in the spring of 1972 following the breakup of Mountain, West
and Laing's previous band. In the 60s Bruce had been a member of legendary British rock band
Cream, whose sound had strongly influenced that of Mountain (Mountain's bassist/vocalist
Felix Pappalardi previously had produced all but one of Cream's albums, and also performed
with them as a sideman).
The trio toured extensively and released two studio albums, 1972's Why Dontcha and 1973's
Whatever Turns You On. They disbanded shortly before the release of their live album
Live 'n' Kickin' in 1974.
West and Laing reunited in a reformation of Mountain in 1985 and have continued playing
together ever since.
In 2009 West and Laing teamed up with Jack Bruce's son, Malcolm Bruce, and toured as
West, Bruce Jr. and Laing. This new group has been considered a reformation of
West, Bruce and Laing, as most venues described Malcolm as "filling in" for his
father and they have rehearsed several Cream as well as West, Bruce and Laing songs.
