Description:
This broadcast ist also known as the "UN-concert".
The CD booklet claimed that this is the original first WLIR-FM recording from 1973.
Our currently Yojimbo version is apparently the re-broadcast from WXRT with a
different radio announcer. The overall sound quality on this boot is better than
on Yojimbo's version, also Yoijimbo's version has much more FM static
noises here and there.
1973 WLIR Un-concert 65.11 FM MC (Yojimbo)

Unfortunately the tracks from the Roxy, heard in Yojimbo's version, are not here.
No recording infos or lineage on the cover, just a text from Concert Magazine, December 1974.

Extras: Orginal Bootleg artwork scans included.
