OU: Every BG Lovers in the world! Thank you for your interesting and DL. BG had rest so many Camel Caravan Broadcasting performances. A lot of that sources are not CD released yet. I have more than 30 stages of his live performances. (maybe I have almost of all.) After Remastering works, I will upload these sequentially.
Please depend on pleasure!

Note: These files test as mpeg BUT these files probably test that way because of the very limited frequency range typical of any recording from the 1930s.
They may be lossy but how many bootlegs from the 1930s do we have?

* Using Nero's wave editor, applied a small fade-out to the applause at the end of Track 10 and a small fade-in to the applause at the beginning of Track 11 (perhaps the tape had been paused between songs?)--smoother transition now
* Removed a small "crackle" at the 2:37 mark of Track 13 with Nero's wave editor

The band:
Benny Goodman - clarinet
Major Holley - bass
Wayne Andre - trombone
Warren Vaché - trumpet
Cal Collins - guitar
Connie Kay - drums

USELESS BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE BENNY GOODMAN SHOW (by Mexminute):
My memory of the day Benny Goodman played the Towson Center on the campus of Towson State University in Towson, Maryland is kind of vague.
You need to know that the Towson Center was a brand new complex that was built to hold basketball games, lecture series, concerts & trade shows. However, when you walked into the venue, it looks like a college gymnasium (which is actually what it was).
I was employed at the Towson Center as the Special Events Coordinator (which meant that I ran the ushering staff, and did some artist interaction). I was told to be at the venue by late morning, as Mr. Goodman & his entourage were going to show up around noon. As the stage was being set up with all the risers & “big band” equipment, one of my ushers waited outside the building for Mr. Goodman’s car to arrive (or so I thought he was….he actually was around the side of the building smoking a joint).
Low & behold, there is a thunderous banging at the stage door exit. It was Benny Goodman with his manager, trying to gain accessibility to the venue. I quickly ran over, apologized to the 2 gentlemen, and proceeded to escort them into the gym.
Mr. Goodman takes 3 steps inside, gives a quick visual scan of where he will be performing, and begins to clear his throat. Then with no concern for decorum or class, he hocks a giant lugy on the gym floor and says, “Sh!t, another f^cking gymnasium.” I kid you not….one of the most influential jazz / big band musicians in the world spit on floor inside, dropped the f-bomb, and threw in a sh!t for good measure. How cool was that?
So, he puts his hat back on, turns around & walks out the building, not to return until 5 minutes before the lights went down.
I got to see very little of the show because my boss & I were held up in Mr. Goodman’s dressing room eating & drinks all the incredible food the catering service made for him.
Later that evening when the show was over, the technical director of the venue walked over to me and handed me a cassette tape. I asked what it was & he told me that it was the soundboard master of tonight’s performance, and that this recording must never, ever, ever get out into general circulation. I agreed. However I think 30 years later & ok to share.
Please enjoy this gem.
