DVD 2519; lineage: Audience recording. low gen. trade cassette > played on Nak. 300 into soundforge (wav) > flac (sb's aligned). April 21, 1975 (suspected date) (incomplete recording)

there is some uncertainty of this date and venue of this show,
but it is definitely recorded in Boston. It is not the whole show,
but apparently includes the 1st 8 songs of the concert in a good sound
quality for a Lynyrd Skynyrd aud of this time. The setlist suggests 1975 to me,
but it could be 1976? seems to be the tour of their 3rd album "nuthin' fancy".
track 7 appears on the fourth album, gimme back my bullets, but it's the only
song on that album not written by Lynyrd Skynyrd members. the tour of that
album was in 1976. it's conspicuously missing "free bird", they ALWAYS play
that one. It is second only to Stairway to Heaven and Aqualung (well ahead
of smoke on the water) in my list of most overplayed songs ever so no great
loss imho (some may disagree, it's the biggest hit they ever had by a mile)
but I only got one side full in a tape trade many years ago, before there
were torrents. if I had the whole show I'd share it all, but this is all I got.
at least all these songs are complete. There was probably one or two other
bands in this show, which was rather common at the Boston Garden, and Music Hall.
there seemed to be suspicion that this was at the Music Hall, but it sounds
like the Boston Garden boombox acoustics to my ears. There's not too much
crowd noise in this recording. thanks much to the unknown taper who recorded this.
