Notes:

Campbell in his tapeography suggests that #10 is Nameless One #2. It sounds like Can You Take It to me, but I can be mistaken. Unfortunately, Sun Ra was in a wheelchair and had suffered a stroke, so his playing isn't as prominent, as in the 1987 concert that I seeded earlier. But, I think the music still holds up well. The cassette that I have is either second or third generation. It was recorded with Dolby C, but my current tape player doesn't have dolby on it. So, the may be some extra hiss, although I think it is still quite listenable. There were a couple of edits, due to dropouts in the original recording as well as a tape flip.

This concert commemorated the 25th Anniversary of WHRW-FM, the SUNY-Binghamton student-run radio station. As you can tell by some of the announcements, there were a number of events going on. I was there, and it was a fun weekend, to say the least
