Earlier this year we kicked off series of releases from a long time West Coast taper/collector that recently passed away. He transferred his extensive archives to CDR years prior to his passing and then passed it to a close friend. His friend has been involved in the Bay area music scene for the last five plus decades and understands the importance of getting these historic shows out to the collector's community. We are working closely reviewing the shows and researching current circulation as well as possible upgrades.
In 1973, Santana and McLaughlin had both become disciples of spiritual teacher Sri Chinmoy, this spiritual journey affected both of their musical output and they teamed up to release "Love Devotion Surrender". Though the release was met with mixed reviews at the time there was no denying it generated blistering guitar work especially on the brief tour that followed. The album and shows were not for the casual listener with songs stretching to 30 minutes.
That brings to the next upgrade in our series, the legendary Chicago performance and it is a scorcher.
There has been numerous releases over the decades of this show and most seem to be sourced from the CD bootleg "A Live Supreme Brothers Of The Spirit".
Our source is from a brand new source and is the from the same source as last weekend's Berkeley release, it's another excellent upgrade to the circulating versions.
We don't get a lot of extra music like we did on Berkeley which can be found here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-d....php?id=760203, but we did discover a previously undocumented splice on the circulating versions during "The Life Divine" at 00:05:33.860, it is seamless and was only discovered due to the same gap in our source.
We were able to salvage an additional 9 seconds of music, the splice on this edition is at ~5:39 and the music missing from the previous version is at 00:05:35.634 to 00:05:44.388
There are a number of folks we are indebted to for access to this exciting new archives, the anonymous West Coast collector, may he rest in peace, his friend that had the motivation and understands the need to get these historically important shows into circulation before they were lost forever and a huge thanks to dime member 'davmar77'. He did not currently have the bandwidth to facilitate such an undertaking at this time and put us in touch...this is how dime should work.
Big thanks to Goody, our pitch master, for his continued to support of these historic releases, he does extra duty on this series of releases helping confirm the setlists and edits, extra thanks go out to him for this critical assistance!
Over the past year or so, we've unfortunately had a number of long time tapers/collectors pass on, leaving this mortal coil, fortunately many had the foresight to secure at least a portion of their archives with friends and collectors so they could be properly released and enjoyed by generations to come.
Don't wait until it's too late to get those archives out into circulation, please get in touch, there are plenty of us here that can help get those out...no tape left behind!
