Freezer's comments: Mardi Gras Mambo was broadcast with announcer talking over it - with a "Parade Progress Report" -- these are done by most local stations in New Orleans during Mardi Gras season, to let the public know where the parades currently are on their routes -- either to help traffic AVOID the parade OR to let people know where they can still catch the parades -- Feb 8. 1975 was the night before Mardi Gras Day (Monday prior to Fat Tuesday is known as Lundi Gras) and there were quite a few parades rolling that night. Replaced with the audience tape of Mardi Gras Mambo from that night.

Five's comments: I tried multiple times to get this to extract without errors to no avail... upon investigation, the errors were very minor, a few hundred samples of silence added to a couple of tracks, which I precisely deleted. No music was harmed. ...this is why its important to use a ripping program that provides error reports, such as EAC on PC or xAct on Mac (not iTunes, not Nero, not Roxio, not Toast etc etc. these other progs are inferior).

As for the show, who could ask for anything more? Its the Meters live in the streets of the burbs 1975 from crystal-clear FM, even the song with talking on it has been replaced with an alternate Freezer-taped source. Thanks to Freezer for sharing this killer show.
