comments:
  I have seen Weather Report 4 times, and partipated in recording
2 of those. I liked all 4 shows very much (Boston 76,77, 78 and 80)
and consider this my favorite Weather Report concert. My recording
of this show was what I had planned to upload but the CD's of it are
garbage (glitchy as heck-useless, made when I was still using a very
flaky computer to make CD's) and now I find out my reel copy of
it was erased, much to my dismay- However... I did have 2 different
sources of this concert, both 1st generation copies. The other still
survives, and was recorded with a cheaper recorder, but probably from
a much closer-up seat, since my reel copy was recorded in almost the
back row of the floor. There's not much high end on this copy, that's
the biggest deficiency compared to the lost copy I had. But there's
less echoeyness on this one, and less crowd noise, so maybe some will
be glad this is the surviving copy. It does have a few cuts, not
quite complete but close, maybe a minute or 2 missing at the most in
4 different parts (tape flips). This was a long concert, even for a
Weather Report concert, and a fine performance.
The 77 is also a 1st gen. (I presume different source than an earlier
dime torrent of this show) and the 1980 is from my master. This one
sounds pretty good, the 77 is better than this, and the 1980 may be
the best recording I've ever made (6th row center!).  I'm still
looking for the 76 one, even though I've found 3 sources for the
opening Shakti show, none for that yet) which would probably be
very early Jaco era.
Do not sell this recording.
Trade freely and losslessly.
weather is an inevitable reality,
not a commodity.
