Comments

Very good sound quality in this recording that documents the evening soundcheck. Sound is very clear and sharp, so this tape is pretty enjoyable. There is a bit of hiss when the band are not playing. Tracks 13, 14 and 15 are played with BB King and his orchestra, and note the latter fades out, so it only lasts 2:31.
