OU Comments:
A fine radio broadcast from the Big Apple with some prime Ponty on his 1st solo band tour. The 1st tune is probably a leftover relic from his 1973 tour with Frank Zappa, the rest are all from his 1st solo record, Upon the Wings of Music, with my favorite Ponty drummer. This guy can really play. It's a short set, but I think the whole thing. the tape was flipped just before upon the wings.
I got this from a guy from Binghamton, N.Y. many years ago on a Maxell XLII-S cassette, and it sounds clean. This tour began a long and productive mergence of Ponty with Daryl Steurmer before he joined with Genesis. Most of my favorite Ponty band albums have Steurmer on guitar, including this one.

Interesting comments from the original uploader! He says this is his favorite drummer who played in Ponty's band. Well, i'm having a hard time even hearing him in the FM mix. (just for the record, my favorite drummer who played with Ponty in the seventies was the great Mark Craney [R.I.P.] who later went on to play with Jethro Tull. there's a European FM broadcast with that line-up that sounds much better than this one that worth checking out!)
thanks!
Great sounding FM recording, fantastic set and performance...thanks Dave!!!
Thanks for the extremely cool fusion!
