Freezer's Notes:
These 2 Jackson Browne shows were recorded on Sunday March 2, 1975..... and, as I had stealth recorded Led Zeppelin in Baton Rouge on Friday February 28, 1975, this was a busy weekend for me and my recorder.
Patched directly into the soundboard during the soundcheck, I worked on the Tulane concert comittee and ran the ticket booth until 10 minutes before show-time, so I was sitting with the soundman when the lights went down. It was at that point that I started the recording.
I have master soundboard or audience recordings for all shows at McAlister Auditorium from late 1973 to May of 1979. This is just one in a large number of shows at McAlister that was promoted by Tulane University's students between 1973 and 1979.
Jackson Browne was not a great priority for me, and for much of the newer members of the concert committee, as there was a definite split in the make-up of the committee, beginning in 1975. The newer members wanted more pop/power-pop/punk/new wave and jazz, while the older crowd wanted more of the Grateful Dead, NRPS, and those type of bands. Guess who won out.
Contrary to what has recently been incorrectly suggested on other sites that were passing around a inferior versions of these shows with incorrect lineage and audio artifacts embedded in their copies; both shows have been in circulation since 1975.
Again, neither of these shows are new to circulation, both have been in circulation for over 35 years.
Both were broadcast on WTUL-FM in 1975 and both were broadcast on WRNO-FM in New Orleans by dj Trigger Black.
That is hardly "New to circulation" by anyone's standards.
Cassette copies were made the same night of the show, directly after the show, by letting the masters be copied, less than an hour after the hall was closed after the band's crew loaded out their equipment.
An audience recording of both of these shows also exists, as the WTUL Tech staff had run a pair of microphones -- at my direct request -- in order to assure that all shows were captured. (Only Frank Zappa, on October 12, 1976, saw those mics in their hiding place and had 'em removed. They were re-installed after Zappa's 2 shows on 10/12/76)
Again, no information will be given out on the recording device or anything else used in the recording of these shows. If that's unacceptable, I suggest you pass on this recording and just patiently wait another 36 years until a different recording of this show appears. Maybe that one will be the one you want. Oh well.....Good luck with that. Or you can have the one with the added shortwave broadcast right now, but that description didn't include anything on the master recordings, since that source didn't have any information on the master recordings.......... Oh well, huh........
This is the PRE-SOURCE: ZERO version. (stardate April 2011)
