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.
Always remember - the more generous you are with your music, the more it comes back to you.

The thing that is totally cool about Dan Lampinski (besides the excellent recordings) is how varied his tastes were back in the day. You could find him at a Dave Mason show or a UK concert with his mic at the ready. We're pretty lucky he had such eclectic tastes in music. Thanks for posting this one! - Tom
Thanks Dave for another great Dan Lampinski aud. recording! Only a "supergroup" like UK could get away with playing such a short show--probably!
Love the 8-track cover too! ;)
(interesting that there was a "semi-legit" version of this same concert taken straight from the raw soundboard tape released some time ago too. Think that one is OOP now.)
aah, now i see that Dan's tape has a track "Forever Until Sunday" that is missing from the sbd. version(?)--so that makes this recording even more worthwhile!
(unless they did two shows in Boston--and Dan's is different from the one i mentioned above.)
The Concert Classic vol.4 release misses also track 3 "The Only Thing She Needs". Btw UK asked for his withdrawal and the cd is no more available.
UK concerts were quite short in fact. They used to change one or two songs each night, mainly from their forthcoming second cd.
Check PRRP 016 ALASKA BY NIGHT if you want to compare.
And thanks to Dave (and Dan), of course... :- )
Thanks Dave for posting this one, another excellent Dan Lampinski recording from a great short lived band...really looking forward to this...ROCK ON!!!
Hey, biboprof, The Only Thing She Needs is on the Live in Boston CD, but the instrumental Forever Until Sunday is not!
Oops... You are right.. It is not on the tracklist (of my copy at least) but it is on the cd.... Sorry but I haven't played it for quite a while... :- )
UK played Boston 3 times in 9 months- on July 11, 1978 at the
Paradise, with Riser, which is where many of the boots came from; on Oct 7 1978 with Starcastle at the Orpheum where Dan taped them; and finally as a three piece (Bozzio, Wetton, Jobson) at Berklee on March 25, 1979. The semi-official Live in Boston boot from the Paradise show mislists the show date as Sept 11, 1978 btw.
Wow, that clears things up, thanks!
Reminds me of Spinal Tap: "ah forget about Boston, it's not a big college town anyway." ;)
Just listening to the first track as I download the rest... awesome stuff.. once again, thanks to Dan for taping the show and sharing, and to carl and kev for mastering and sharing... and of course, QualityBootz for sharing.. you all rock, thanks a million :)
