Notes
The forgotten show. The performances before and after were recorded on multi-track, while all that remains of this show is a cassette of the front of house mix - presumably the tape that RF refers to in his diary "Shout at PW after gig for coming in with the tape..."The tape (thank you, Peter Walmsley) is an incomplete fragment of seven tracks - justified by Easy Money ("fuzz solo v. effective" - RF's diary). Hearing this, a different diarist 30 years later observes “fuzz solo v. satisfying.” Just when you think it’s all over there’s a delightful improv spilling out of Easy Money featuring David Cross. For a few moments they create from thin air a beautiful tender ballad with a touch of Trio. As with many board recordings, the mix can be interesting. The end of Fracture almost becomes a bass and bass drum solo - interesting for students of John Wetton's playing.

boards from this last tour? This band was INTENSE for it’s last go round. This DL’s short but sweet. A great version of Fracture but the Improvs should have been left uncut as the intro to Exiles and the outro to Easy Money, IMHO. Great sound overall w/ a big presence from Wetton and BB as I remember from the final performace at Central Park.  Should’ve been a little cheaper, other DLs are twice the length. Any chance of getting any of the 73-74 NYC shows out?
