Joshua- Freeborn Hall, UC Davis Ca 3/14/70 transfer from band archive tape:

I’m late with the bi-weekly Mick Martin Memorial series of posts! Well, it’s still Tuesday so I am ok.

At this point, I think anyone following this page/channel knows that I get REAL excited with old archival live performances that predate my taping. A live show from Freeborn Hall in 1970?? That’s gotta be the earliest document from that venue. Amazing. It took a lot of discipline for me to not post this one right away when I started the Mick memorial, but the quality on this one, while great for 1970, is not perfect. I tried rebalancing it and no workie- it made the highs super harsh.
