This recording was on a cassette from the Kat George archive of live tapes. Like the Knitters show that I posted a while back. Kat didn't record this one her friend Ken Spears did. I think it sounds pretty good and was going to share it and found that there was another more complete source of this show out there already so I put it on the back burner.
Last week I saw the news that Elvis was putting out a record with T Bone Burnett called The Coward Brothers. I recalled that this was the tour where they coined that title. They play a bunch of songs together at the end of this show. 40 years later they finally got around to recording an album together. I bet they had been talking about it on and off since this tour.
To my ear this sounds like it was recorded from the front of the balcony because the crowd noise is pretty subdued. Very quite and respectful crowd while he is playing too. Makes for a great listen. Enjoy.
