New York City, N.Y. U.S.A. December 18, 1973 (second of 2 nights there) lineage: master audience tape > CD > CD extractor (wav) > flac (sb's aligned) > torrentially yours. runtime: 117:59 (minutes/seconds) setlist: disc 1 63:11 1: hoedown 5:21 2: Jerusalem 3:22 3: toccata 6:18 4: tarkus 25:02 5: Benny the bouncer (end spliced) 2:45 6: take a pebble > piano improvisation 20:20 disc 2 54:48 7: karn evil #9 1st impression 18:07 8: karn evil #9 2nd impression 17:44 9: encore: pictures at an exhibition (including silent night) 18:56 a this and that glasbo production. thanks to ethiessen1 for providing some nice artwork for this show. comments: a very good audience recording from the second of two nights of brain salad surgery in the Big Apple Garden. I do not know if this recording is complete although all the songs in here seem to be complete. levels were balanced out and some loud clap reduction applied to the CD copy I got of this, and a few abrupt ends between songs were spliced to make those track transitions smoother. I don't know who made this recording but my thanks and compliments go out to him (or her). whoever recorded this did a nice job. so did ELP, this was a fine performance, just a week before Christmas. people have been known to travel from all over the world to get brain surgery (if needed) in New York (from a doctor) it is known for having some very fine medical facilities. some even went there to get brain SALAD surgery, in "the entertainment capital of the world" as many New Yorkers like to call their biggest city. Enough so that once was not good enough, they had to do it twice in NYC. (and another show a few days earlier at Nassau a/k/a Nausea Coliseum on Long Island) nobody delivers that any better than ELP. this is one of the better shows I've heard from the Brain Salad Surgery tour, and unlike some of the 73 and 74 shows, seems to include the full Karn Evil #9 sequence. thanks very much to bilbo74 for sharing this with me to share with you. -----OK...THERE IS SOME CONTROVERSY OVER THIS. SOME SAY THAT SILENT NIGHT WAS ONLY PERFORMED ON THE 17TH...BUT THERE IS A VOICEOVER BY SOMEONE CLOSE TO THE TAPER (OR THE TAPER)SAYING IT IS THE 18TH. UNLESS IT'S A FAKE. IF IT IS THE SAME AS THE RECORDING I HAVE OF THE 17TH, THIS ONE IS BETTER, RUNNING AT THE PROPER PITCH AND HAS BETTER SOUND. |
