Total Time ::: 34:59
::: EXC quality, super stereo FM broadcast. Check samples for presonal trials & tribulations.
::: CONTRAST CLAUSE: Same original source tape, but upgrades this 5th generation copy http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=379020 (kindly up'd by theklopeks).
::: Warts: Very, very slight hum & distortion. Dull spots were mostly rapairable but actual dropouts difficult due to extreme stereo imaging. I definitely did not get 'em all!
::: (*) My tape said 1972-11-15?. It circulates 1972-11-15 as the excellent Whisky list at http://www.chickenonaunicycle.com shows NO America appearance ever & Nov. 15-18, 1972 as Sylvester & The Hot Band, Hemlock featuring Miller Anderson. The Whiskey had many unannounced bands, but since America did early & late shows the evening of this recording, I'm not sure what's up.
