NOTE: Two additional tracks from this line recording surfaced recently on A Musical Retrospective; and the more complete recording now circulates on fan projects such as Don't Mind The Driving Rain. This concert is often incorrectly described as Mike Bloomfield's final public performance, but later appearances are very well documented.
rmd: An almost complete line recording in better quality
sound than the more common tape from the next night. Mike
Bloomfield comes on for two songs. (Matthew Zuckerman)
Good soundboard; not great, but very listenable, not harsh or
compressed, just a littly blurry and hissy. Completely enjoyable,
and historically essential.
