The review

The 2nd stop of the Bluesbreakers West Coast Tour was in Palo Alto; this is the 1st lossless soundboard recording was uploaded on The Traders Den by whotrader : thanks a lot to him since all previous available versions were lossy. Not much work was needed with this excellent recording only the transitions between tracks were reworked, so now each one starts with a song. Note there is a short fade in/out before Room To Move but no music has been lost.

The intervention of the show MC who tried to calm the audience between the 2 sets was kept because it shows the enthusiasm of the fans. This recording is nice, but being in mono does not show completely the band’s amazing plating quality.
