NOTES (from original seeder):
- when i was living in aachen in 1980, i used to frequently bump into one of these
wild poets / rimbaud / doors / patti smith loveable loonies who would be selling
bootleg books and records at the rwth mensa (hi dirk !!!). we got to know each
other better and one day he mentioned somebody who taped many shows in the early 1970s.
as i expressed SERIOUS interest, he somehow managed to borrow a bag full of small uher
reels which he gave to me saying that they must be returned within 24 hours. it took me
a long time just to borrow a revox and transfer some of the reels. just wish i'd have
had more time ... only managed to copy maybe 1/4 all of it - what a shame !!!
been trying to re-borrow the reels for ages, but ...
- the last time i took drugs, i tried to eat an airport. well, ...

REMASTER NOTES:
A huge thanks to the source of these files for posting the major upgrade to prior sources.
Listening to this show in such improved form indicated that a number of minor adjustments
could reveal more detail. The source indicated a repost was fine after the initial
seed ran its course.

A remarkable recording for the era with the most nagging element being that the vocals
seemed severely overdriven in whatever speaker was there, giving them a very harsh tone.
Some mild filters were applied to take the edge off that tone, find a little more clarity,
and to try to make the listen as much fun as it should be with a show like this.

Many thanks to the original poster who rescued this from obscurity and posted it for us
decades later. Thanks to Goody for the pitch correction and QC. - Bombdiggity 2012-09
