Dan Lampinski recorded over 100 concerts in the Providence/Boston area, mostly between 1974 and 1978. His earliest recordings were made with an internal microphone deck, and though they are somewhat lo-fi compared to his later work, some very great moments in rock history were captured for posterity. In late 1974 he bought a Sony TC-152SD tape recorder, a Sony ECM-99 stereo microphone, and began using Maxell cassettes. He was also fortunate enough to have a friend who provided excellent taping seats for many shows, resulting in high quality recordings. In 1977, he switched over to a Nakamichi 550 tape recorder, two Nakamichi CM-300 microphones, and continued using Maxell cassettes.
He recorded many of the major 70's bands: Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, Queen, Blue Oyster Cult, Frank Zappa, Jethro Tull, ELP, Kiss, Black Sabbath, The Who, Al Stewart, Alice Cooper, Jeff Beck, Bruce Springsteen, Supertramp, Jean-Luc Ponty, Moody Blues, Neil Young, The Faces, Rush, Rick Wakeman, Kansas, as well as several "under the radar" acts.
Since Dan never traded copies of his recordings, they are all essentially uncirculated. Some copies were made for friends, but these releases are the first time most of these recordings have ever seen the light of day, and are direct from his master cassettes. No EQ'ing has been done to any of the transfers. Feel free to EQ, matrix, patch, etc and re-post if you like, just give Dan credit for the original recording.
Dan was very meticulous about taking good care of his tapes and is very pleased that these recordings will now circulate among the trading community. Please honour his kindness and generosity by sharing these recordings freely. The transfers are available as 16bit/44.1KHz flac files suitable for CD burning, and also as 24bit/96KHz flac files for those who prefer the higher resolution.
Always remember - the more generous you are with your music, the more it comes back to you.

Thanks for yet another YES show! I'm never fed up with this kind of amazing prog-rock!

This is a nice recording, Thanks Dave!
(Too bad the crowd is so boisterous near Dan, but hey they were psyched--it was a classic concert!)

I'm curious if any brave soul has attempted a matrix (skipping Ritual) with this one and the KBFH broadcast?!

Holy Crap, i just checked the Wolgang's Vault site and they have a new incomplete version of the famous KBFH broadcast of this show that features the always missing Ritual!! (It's available in low bitrate streaming but still it's finally there.
Strangely the beginning of the show is missing on their new version, but Dave has the rest of the show posted here.

I guess a complete show matrix could finally be attempted now!)

the "ritual" flac file posted by anonimous can't be played, it is totally distorted... am I the only one having this problem ? thanks

About RITUAL... Well, the flac isn't working, but I converted it to aiff and now it is ok... great performance, but you can see why this song wasn't aired... the vocals are quite unbalanced in the mix and chris is often out of tune... but if you like the guitar and bass parts, this is a must have ! thank you for posting!
