JETHRO TULL
Fillmore West 1970 [no label, 1CD]
Live at Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA; May 1, 1970. Fairly to very good audience recording. (Significant upgrade over commonly circulating Master > DAT version.)
Thanks to the original taper; and kneesfudd for sharing the show at Dime.
kneesfudd’s notes:
Wonderful audience for its vintage.
Warts: Some mike noises (fixed or lowered). Dullspots and dropouts fixed but surely missed a few (weren’t many, tape was in EXC shape). Tapeflip splice in “Dharma” (on master).
This copy has the opening audience noise start up slightly earlier at the beginning of the show as well as a couple more seconds at the very end. The original master had a tapeflip near the start of “Dharma”. The “MASTER>DAT” version spliced out about 25 seconds of the start of side B and someone did a virtually unnoticeable (nice!) splice to bring the song together. That extra deleted (blistering guitar) material is left here in this version - but you will hear the rather abrupt tapeflip splice. Completists will be happy, the general listeners more startled… But, in general, everyone should be pleased with the overall sonic upgrade.
