Our Good Friend and Follower of The Site, GMan, has sent me a copy of his recording of the Steely Dan, Steve Winwood show in Vegas the year 2016. He said I could post it if I liked it. When he sent it he said it was not one of his better recordings. You hear that sometimes from tapers because there might be a flaw they don't like in the recording. They are their own worst critics which I'm glad to say GMan is no different. This is a really good recording. You can hear everything coming from the stage. There is some talking, not all the time so not too distracting. A couple loud clappers here and a loud whistler there. No real big deal at all...I think you will enjoy it! I added a copy of a ticket on sale on Ebay, and a couple other picks just in case there is someone who wants to make art work for themselves, here is a start.

justdave's notes:
I ripped the waves with DVD Audio Extractor. I then used Goldwave to re-edit some track marks. No EQ, noise reduction, or remixing was done. The waves were encoded to MP3 320kbps because the DVD had lossy audio.

Jim Capaldi died from stomach cancer January 28, 2005 at the age of 60.

Track 01. The Low Spark Of High-Heeled Boys - alternate take, February 9, 1971
Not really that different from the real version except that Chris Wood’s electric sax is replaced by lethargic noodling.

Track 02. Rock And Roll Stew - alternate take, May 19, 1971
Same words and progression as the actual take but the feel of the song is completely different. Almost a different song entirely. Interesting to see how the song evolved over three months’ time.

Track 03. Rainmaker - alternate take, May 19, 1971
Pretty much what it says.

Track 04. Rock And Roll Stew - alternate mix, August 25, 1971
This is (I guess) the full version from the English 45. As mentioned above, it is somewhat distorted (overmodulated) though certainly listenable. The instrumental ending not included on the album version is not particularly memorable. If this is indeed the extended 45 version, you haven’t missed much.

Track 05. Light Up Or Leave Me Alone - alternate mix, August 25, 1971
Mostly, the difference is Jim Capaldi vocalizing a bit during the instrumental sections.

Track 06. Traffic Jam #1 - take 2
Personnel not really listed but it sounds like Steve Winwood, Jim Gordon and Rick Grech sounding sorta like Blind Faith. Interesting take but just a jammy thing.

Track 07. Traffic Jam #2 - with Muscle Shoals Horns
Track 7 and 8. Not sure who’s playing what beyond the obvious. The rhythm section certainly seems to be the Alabamy boys and I’d bet on Steve Winwood on guitar and maybe organ. Shoot Out meets a horn section.

Track 08. Traffic Jam #3 - with Muscle Shoals Horns

Track 09. It’s So Hard - Jim Capaldi and Jim Gordon demo #1
Track 10. It’s So Hard - Jim Capaldi & Jim Gordon demo #2

Track 9 and 10. Jim Capaldi and Jim Gordon playing acoustic guitar, fleshing out the song. For diehard fans only.

Track 11. Easter Weekend - Jim Capaldi demo #1

Track 12. Easter Weekend - Jim Capaldi demo #2
Track 11 and 12. Jim Capaldi and Jim Gordon playing acoustic guitar, fleshing out the song. For diehard fans only.

The info that came with this boot was that it was a rebroadcast of the 1970 Paris Theatre performance premiering songs from John Barleycorn Must Die. I have not compared this show with a different copy I have of the Paris Theatre 1970 gig so I can't be sure. At any rate this is a great sounding performance and recording. Chris Wood passed away July 12, 1983 of pneumonia at the age of 39. Jim Capaldi passed away January 28, 2005 at the age of 60 from stomach cancer.
