Strawbs: Long Island (VG- Aud) FLAC

The Lostbrook Tape Series - Volume 27

Recording Equipment: Internal Mic - Sanyo tape deck - Alesis TapeLinkUSB - Audacity - WAV
Taper: Lostbrook
Mastering: CQ

OU: For the second December in a row, the Strawbs delivered a high-energy, dramatic performance to a wildly enthusiastic Calderone crowd. There was a chemistry between the band and the Calderone audience as the Strawbs created a unique concert atmosphere with powerful mellotrons, Dave Lambert’s blistering guitar, and Dave Cousins’ poetic lyrics and voice. I recorded this from the eighth row on the left-center aisle, surrounded by a multitude of friends. There’s more chatter on this tape than I care to admit, but most of it is related to the photographs being taken by my friend Howie. Perhaps we would have been quieter if we had known that the Strawbs wouldn’t be back for another eight years.
