About this recording
Even though this recording has been widely circulated, it's never been
officially mastered and released.  It's been 20 years since I listened to
this recording, and I didn't remember how incredible it really was.  The set
list is incredible and every musician is playing at the absolute top of their
ability.  This is a must-have recording for any Weather Report fan.

The master recording is in great shape after all these years.  The original
master has the usual flaws:  a little bit of wind noise, chair squeaks,
an occasional cough, and people talking (it's the Hollywood Bows, and can be
like a social event).  iZotope RX4-Advanced comes to the rescue and helps fix
as many of these flaws as possible.  The only bad tape turn occurred on
Birdland. But thanks again to modern software, Birdland has been put back
together without a missing beat.

Weather Report Memorial Concert Series
This has been long overdue, and will still take a while to complete.
I wanted to release all of my Weather Report, Wayne Shorter, and Jaco
Pastorius recordings as part of a "Memorial" to Weather Report and its
members.  Some of these recordings were given to friends many years ago, but
most have never had a proper mastering or released.  So to most people, I
think these will be completely new recordings.  And when you see how many of
them and how good the recording quality and show quality is, then you'll
probably ask:  WTF...why haven't these ever been released?  Answer is
simple:  time.  I knew releasing this many previously unreleased recordings
was going to take a lot of time.

Some people may have copies of these one or more generations down from the
master.  All of these will be coming to you directly from the master
recordings.

Here's what to expect in the series, and in the order to be released:

Note:  This is the "rumored" Jaco recording written about in a Jaco biography.
The author writes about a "rumored" recording made at the Playboy Jazz Festival
when Jaco tore the stage apart and his own musicians eventually refused to play
for him.  Playboy Jazz promoters eventually turned the stage on Jaco to put an
end to his set.  This is the recording referenced in the book.  It's
depressing.
