Remaster Notes:
The very uncertain lineage is unfortunate, but we do know that this was recorded for an FM broadcast. The fact that a lot of high frequencies exist on the tape indicate that it the source for this may have been a Pre-FM tape, but I couldn't be sure. The sound on what I recieved was very good, but there was a lot of tape hiss. Using Cool Edit Pro 2.1, I managed to pinpoint and remove a lot of this hissing while having very minimal effect on the music itself. There were also a few pops present on the tape, introduced during analog tranfers (it was not diginoise) that I removed. I did not alter the EQ at all, as I felt that the frequency balance of the music itself was adjusted appropriately by the radio station engineer who recorded it. I am very pleased with the result, and think that the sound upgrade makes this one a lot easier to listen to and ultimately more fulfilling.
Performance Notes:
This is a fantastic performance, and I am glad that a nice sounding version of it was able to circulate. Tom plays a lot of the Foreign Affairs material which makes this a rare item. The vocals are a touch better than Drink at the Bar (the other nice sounding 1977 show that I have), and the band is tight and fun. Tom adds some lines to Step Right Up that I've not heard anywhere else as well. This is a highly recommended show, and though not quite as essential as some of the late 1976 shows, still shows Tom performing his mid-70's material very well.

I'm not sure if mine is really remasted or not. Sadly it is a forced DAO and has small clicks between the tracks .
