From the collection of Gene Taback.  Thanks to Mitch Wittenberg for help with song titles.

The performance was recorded on a Sony TC-124.  The TC-124 did not have Dolby, but it also had a limited high-end recording range, so there is not much tape hiss present.  The unit was stopped between songs and there are some abrupt starts and stops, but the tracking has been done so each song starts cleanly.  The band intros were chopped up, unfortunately, but this sounds like a quartet.  The taper must have been right up front, there's very little crowd noise.  Los Gatos Hall is part of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Los Gatos, so not a big room, either.

This cassette survived a house fire in May 2004.  The case was blackened and warped, and the cassette shell was damaged, but the tape itself survived.  An image of the J-card is included.  Many thanks to Gene Taback for preserving it and lending it out to be digitized and shared.


Enjoy!
