Comment: A partial recording of this concert, notable for the very late performance of "Star Track." There are a few seconds of drums after "Plastic Fantastic Lover" before a tape cut
this may be the start of a song not captured on this recording., This may be uncirculated
the taper traded some of his tapes years ago, but this one might not have made it into circulation., Quality:, This is a somewhat distant audience recording, with vocals lower in the mix than the instruments
so they get lost when the instruments get loud. The main distraction, during the first couple of songs is the clapping audience, who seem determined to clap in time to the entire concert. Fortunately they seem to tire after the first two songs and retire more to the background. There are also momentary bits of distortion in places which are on the master., I usually hesitate to use the description "for completists only" since i think that is, often taken to mean "unlistenable." This is better than that, and i suppose i'm a completist since it's enjoyable to me. But check the samples before you download, since the sound quality may not satisfy you., Background:, The taper of this concert is Gerard Daily, a resident of Forth Worth. He was kind enough, to send the original cassette to me for transfer. He describes the event:, "The opening act was Flash, which I wish I had recorded. It was a band made up of local high school guys, one of whom was Chris Geppert, who was a shit-hot guitar hero in San Antonio at that time. He later transmuted into the easy listening, Chrisopher Cross and you wouldn't have seen that one coming if you had heard Chris Geppert first. Everyone in Flash was a great player and they had good originals for being juniors or seniors in high school., "I had high hopes for the Airplane show but it deteriorated and I stopped taping early. That is the tape that has the guy sitting next to me yelling 'Fillmore' a lot. San Antonio is host to a lot of Army and Air Force bases, and you would see all these guys with G.I. haircuts over-compensating by wearing, tons of fringe vests, love beads, and high-water bell bottomed pants to prove that, even though they were in the Armed Forces, they were still groovy. Hence the yelling of 'Fillmore,' I suppose. The sound was horrible, which was unusual for the auditorium because it was built for opera and the San Antonio Symphony. I saw a lot of good bands there with really good sound."
