comments: Recorded from 6th row right side of center section. This is a "You Are There" production, a first time ever master seed from this, my only Weather Report
master recording, and one of the very best in glasnostrd19's Jazz Masters series to come... Masters of jazz from master audience recordings. (to come if I ever get my port problem resolved)
This is one of the nicest sounding Weather Report auds out there, one of my 1st 25 uploads lost (sort of, only, thank goodness, after all the work that went into these), when my other computer died and left my whole upload burden on Bertha III. I've had port and firewall problems that have severely held up all my uploading, thus this is one of a couple that Doinker has kindly offered to upload so everybody doesn't have to wait any longer than they have already to hear this fine show. This is one of my best auds of anyone, and an automatic choice for my 1st load of 25 shows to share on dime. It's about 6 months behind schedule, but hopefully I'll be catching up soon, and 2 other Weather Report Boston shows are among the swelling belly of Bertha's hard drive. This one is the most recent, all are very nice shows and good recordings, and they're all with Jaco Pastorious. The other 2 are 1st gen. This is direct from the master via a CD extraction. This one is definitely the best sound quality of the 3 but all are very enjoyable sounding recordings. Only one very brief cut for tape flip 45 min. into the show, barely even noticable. Sorry it's taken so long to deliver the weather report, but this posting means the waiting is finally over! Nobody is any more relieved about that than me. If you like W.R. there were 2 very nice uploads of note on dime in recent months (by other uploaders)- a very nice aud from Seattle 76, and FM from Berkeley, Ca. 75. This one is fairly comparable quality to that Seattle 76 one.
Sorry, I have no set list at all for this one (maybe Doinker or a friend of his can resolve that- I do have setlists for the other 2)
I think the only title I could recognize in this show is Birdland, no artwork (get used to that, if I ever get my uploads happening, I have no working printer), if someone wants to add some that's fine. Enjoy!

Do not sell this recording.

Trade freely and losslessly.
