Jethro Tull
Fair Grounds Pavilion OKC OK (T-20) ,
14th June 1972

Notes that came with the discs:
I'm the guy who recorded this show. I have the original analog cassette tape of it. Over the years I have traded analog tape copies but until now have never done a digital transfer of it. This is the first and only time it has been digitally transferred from the original analog cassette tape. The Eagles opened for Jethro Tull that night. It's not a very high quality recording. This was the first show I ever recorded and I made most of the usual mistakes. The recorder had automatic level control (ALC) which caused the loud beginnings of some songs.

We were located on the floor about midway back. The chairs were not attached to the floor. Just as Jethro Tull came on stage everyone grabbed their chairs and rushed forward. This caused a jumble of chairs and people nearer the stage with no aisles and not much room to move around. Because of this I wasn't able to secure the mic's like I wanted to and this resulted in some mic handling noises. I removed gaps and some of the mic bumping noise and did speed correction. - Mike T.

Please don't alter the sound of this recording. If you want to do something start recording shows and work from that. Don't just take what I have done and screw with it. For Trade or Give Away only - Do not Sell - Do not encode as MP3 or any other format which degrades the quality of the recording November 20, 2004 T
