"Dr. Junkie" Eric Rosser – piano, keyboards

Notes:
- "Welcome To Chinatown" has a cut in the middle just after John says "this guys real bashful".
- I added some EQ to bring out the bass and the highs, it was mostly mid range. I also tried to even out the volume as much as possible. It still wavers a bit but is not as bad as it was.

I made this set from a webstream at Archive.org. Some of the shows there are restricted to stream only. This stream actually ran at 24bit/48khz so I encoded it as such. A spectrum file is included to prove it's lossless. It was a little flat toned so I ran it through an EQ. It's an enjoyable listen now.

My friend has been collecting FM recordings on Reel to Reel for years. Recently he came by with his tape deck so I could digitize his collection for him. So I retained copies of the ones I wanted as my fee for the work. He said I could share them as long as I give him credit for the tapes. For these distributions he has chosen the name Danibus. The cassette used to transfer to Reel was of unknown generation. The reel is of 2nd generation. The reel was noted as a WLIR broadcast recording.

Drummer Cliff Davies is the same drummer who played with Ted Nugent during the best period of his solo career. The original Ted Nugent Band, as it was to be called up to the point the Ted Nugent album was released. Ted Nugent, Free For All, Cat Scratch Fever and Double Live Gonzo. After that of course the line up splintered.

If also had other notable members including Dennis Elliott who would go on to play in Foreigner, Dave Greenslade of Coliseseum and Greenslade, and Geoff Whitehorn who played with Procal Harum.
