Default Hope for a 1973 show?

This audience recording just came up at Dime. Here’s hoping that they taped Fleetwood Mac that night as well…

Weather Report
Carver Gym
Western Washington University
Bellingham, WA
September 27, 1973
(Audience)

Transfer: Low Generation Tape Trade > CDR > .wav > iZotope RX 8 / ozone 9 (mastered) > xACT 2.50 > FLAC

01 Introduction > Improvisation
02 125th Street Congress
03 Doctor Honoris Causa
04 Directions
05 Boogie Woogie Waltz

Known Faults:
-Doctor Honoris Causa: seamless splice

We are pleased to kick off a 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 West Coast 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.

Our first release features Weather Report's opening set for Fleetwood Mac at the Sam Carver Gymnasium at Western Washington University in Bellingham, WA. This excellent quality capture took place during a transitional period for the band as they took on a more jazz-funk and groove oriented direction. You can hear the beginnings of this new direction they would explore even further into 1974 and beyond. Interestingly, this was a transitional period for Fleetwood Mac as well.

The newspaper review is so great. very flattering. sounds like they were a really tight band.
