Al Stewart: New York 1977 (VG+ Aud) FLAC

The Lostbrook Tape Series - Volume 101

February 11, 1977
Avery Fisher Hall, New York, NY - USA

OU: I was very impressed with Al Stewart's performance at the Bottom Line in November 1976 (see Vol 14) and wanted to see the show again, but this concert was sold out and I didn’t have a ticket. I couldn’t find any friends to accompany me, so I drove to the concert alone, hoping to buy a ticket outside the theater. I parked the car on Broadway, walked to Lincoln Center, and immediately found someone selling an extra ticket.
His name was Norman, and he sold me a seventh row seat for face value. He struck me as an unusual character, and when the seat turned out to be next to his, I discovered that he was very talkative and wanted to be my friend.
He occasionally yelled things at the stage that made me cringe, but in the end, we got along and had a good time. I deleted a few "Norman-isms" to make this more listenable. Norman - if you're out there - this one's for you.

Dan Lampinski recorded over 100 concerts in the Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978. His earliest recordings were made with an internal microphone deck, and though they are somewhat lo-fi compared to his later work, some very great moments in rock history were captured for posterity. In late 1974 he bought a Sony TC-152SD tape recorder, a Sony ECM-99 stereo microphone, and began using Maxell cassettes. He was also fortunate enough to have a friend who provided excellent taping seats for many shows, resulting in high quality recordings. In 1977, he switched over to a Nakamichi 550 tape recorder, two Nakamichi CM-300 microphones, and continued using Maxell cassettes.
He recorded many of the major 70's bands: Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, ELP, Kiss, Black Sabbath, The Who, Al Stewart, Alice Cooper, Jeff Beck, Bruce Springsteen, Supertramp, Jean-Luc Ponty, Moody Blues, Neil Young, The Faces, Rush, Rick Wakeman, Kansas, as well as several "under the radar" acts.
Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ'ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit for the original recording.
Dan was very meticulous about taking good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will now circulate among the trading community. Please honour his kindness and generosity by sharing these recordings freely.
Always remember - the more generous you are with your music, the more it comes back to you.
