S&P: The complete recording of the Leicester tape, with
a misguided insertion. Given that the uniqueness of the recording
itself is as important as the concert being recorded, this does
slightly discolour the icing on the cake. Amusing for its
quirkiness if not for its recording quality.
rmd: If you are looking for pristine PA quality then look
elsewhere. This is not one of those. There are even much better
performances from that era captured on other audience tapes. That
said, this is not the best but certainly not the worst of audience
tapes surfaced from the 1966 tour. If you find it, your trouble
alone is rewarded in that harp solo. Cracks me up every time I hear
it. (Bob Stacy)
