When I posted my first share of the 1974-01-31 show I was contacted
by some one who told me he had the master of that show.
He also had two others that he sent to me.  Hereâ€™s this one.

And here are some notes that he provided with the audio.

â€œThe band consisted of Josef Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Alphonso Johnson, and Ishmael Wilburn.  The taper sat midway center in the raked theatre and used Memorex cassettes and a Yamaha portable cassette recorder.  Many years later, the cassette reels were transferred to new cassette shells and the recordings were digitized into WAV files via Goldwave before being losslessly compressed into APE files.  Years after that, the APE files were decompressed back into WAV files before being compressed into FLAC files.  Goldwave was used to mildly edit the beginnings and endings of the files, boost the volume of files as needed, divide the files into tracks, and to detect and correct DC offsets.  No EQ was appliedâ€.

The drummer is Darryl Brown.  You can hear his name when Wayne introduces the band at the end of the show.

I havenâ€™t done too much to the files, just a hint of eq.
Iâ€™ve cleaned up some transitions between songs.
The music was given to me as five tracks that I have further divided into the 9.
In track 01 Milky Way and Manolete are basically just quotes used to intro and outro
American Tango.

The recordingâ€™s a little rough here and there but the music is fabulous.

Happy New Year!
