Santana - Balboa Stadium, San Diego 1974

Santana at the Balboa Stadium in San Diego, a band whose inspired musicianship transpires throughout the performance.

Most of the material is from Abraxas, the rightly praised Santana album released in 1970.

I made some tweaks to this recording: 

- Applied high frequencies equalization to the right channel in order to make it a bit closer to the left that sounds excellent.

- Corrected, as possible, the balance between left and right channels.

- Removed several noise peaks, probably introduced in the CD ripping process as shown in the graphic.

Gong - Oslo 1974

Decent sounding boots of 70's Gong are rare.
This one is pretty good & was recorded
during Bill Bruford's brief stint with the band.
He'd replaced Laurie Allen who was unable to cross
some European borders following a drugs bust.

Montrose
KSAN San Francisco 1973

Montrose before they even had a name.
I'll bet Ronnie had one in mind!
I have two versions of this, one I DL'd
& one I was sent on CD. The latter sounded
slightly better so that's the one you're getting.
Some slight drop-outs in 'Bad Motor Scooter'
but generally the sound is reasonable although
the radio station compressed it to death.
