First heard this years back on the 'Coeffecient Of Aural Expansion' set and then The Bootleg Box but its fantastic!
Wonder why this never got a proper release in a glorious colour sleeve with pics etc. It was TDs Heyday & a beautiful venue, acousticaly & structually.
And what great music...the sequencers & impovisation.
probably because the first half went so badly (they had real problems with the equipment that night), they never gelled with Michael so perhaps they thought that it didn't show them at their best (in their opinion)?
I'll be adding a few interviews with Michael Hoenig soon, which might add some light on why he left.
