Notes:
- Clean but oversaturated soundboard. Based
on the provenance and on the level of hiss, I
would guess that the true lineage is MSR > C >
D > CD, but I cannot confirm that.
- The fact that Babe I'm Gonna Leave You
appears in both "sets", and comment #4
(below) make it seem likely that this
material comes from more than one date, though
I have no idea whether or not QMS at this stage
might have played the song twice in one night
(e.g., in early and late shows).
- I have some questions about the order of
the songs for the late show. The order in
which they appear here corresponds to the order
written down on the labels of the digitized
cassettes, but *not* to the actual music on the
cassettes, which was as follows: Hoochie Coochie
Man, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Gold & Silver,
Stand By Me, Pride of Man, Got My Mojo Workin',
You Don't Love Me -> Suzy Q. I was encouraged
to keep that order, but have decided to put
things as they were originally labeled, for one
single reason: the banter corresponds much more
closely to the written order than to the actual
order on the tapes. This is most clearly true
for banter #6 (before Pride of Man). Also, the
tuning before Mojo Workin' seems consistent with
the start of a set/show. But not a note of this
material was edited, so one can still re-arrange
the material as originally laid out.
Banter Notes (approximate):
- (1) "It's called Hair Like Sunshine, it's
written by Jack Sheldon (?). Do a song that
Jimmy wrote next called 'I Hear You Knockin''."
- (2) "Do a folk song next called 'Babe I'm
Gonna Leave You. A real honest-to-God folk
song." "Folk rock, is what it is." "Well ...
try to keep up on everything."
- (3) We'd like to dedicate this first song to
Muddy Waters. It's called "I Got My Mojo Workin'.'"
- (4) "We got a request to do a song called
'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You'."
- (5) "We'd like to do a song now called
'Acapulco Gold & Silver'. It's a [sic] instrumental,
nobody ever sings on it."
- (6) "We're gonna do one more song, and then,
uh, this thing's gonna be over, and it's called
'Pride of Man'. It's written by Hamilton Camp,
and it's about, uh, it's about some kind of
religious thing. I don't know. I don't wanna get
involved." "See, see, last song. After this
everybody, good night."
