Painter's Mill Music Fair
Owings Mills, Maryland
Unknown Audience 2 (Scale 1-6)
Geetarz Comments:
Interesting from a historical perspective, this is one of the few times "Layla" was performed live by the Dominos.
Overall, it's a subpar audience recording, which was later released in a "remastered" form by Mid Valley as "The Seven Pulsating Notes" (MVR-111/112).
It's a matter of personal preference which one will prefer, this original version presented for those who would enjoy it.
The limitations of the source material in no way detract from what is otherwise an excellent performance.
In the summer of 2001 yours truly was contacted by the gentleman who was the stage manager for this show, who for all of 31 years was unaware that a recording of it was made. This gentleman kindly made the CD cover for the show, which is taken from a facimile of the extremely rare promotional poster for the show, of which only 200 were made. In this case, the poster might even be cooler than the recording!
