Return to Forever with Bill Connors live in Massachusetts Sep 2, 1973

Venue: Lenox Music Inn (Lenox, MA)


I stumbled across this recording awhile back and thought I would share it here with jazz fusion fans and supporters. It is probably the best live recording of Return To Forever with Bill Connors on guitar that I have ever heard. The recording had a nasty hum throughout that I deftly removed via a specially crafted noise reduction process I utilized. I then re-EQ'd the whole show to add more low end and high end frequencies. Bass grooves sound great and the cymbals and guitar come through noticeably better now. Mid-range, I left alone. I also deleted a non-musical track where an announcer was giving the audience a variety of instructions that was not needed at all for fully enjoying this concert. There are indeed other versions of this show floating around out there but none are as lovingly cleaned up and remastered like this version I am sharing. Enjoy this awesome show!

When you purchase a live, remastered show here on CD-R -- you are NOT buying the music itself or the performance. You are actually paying for my professional remastering services of aforesaid show(s). You are also paying for my graphic arts design time and associated materials supplied. This live music is relatively easy to procure free on the internet by savvy searches. But what you get via such means only gives a subpar and disappointing listen. When you compare my charges for remastering and graphic art design services to the going rate -- my prices are ridiculously inexpensive.
