notes:

* give thanks to candileaf for preserving this "heavy" show on tape and transferring it to cd! he played this show only occasionally and we're lucky it survived in mighty fine shape. there are very few signs of deterioration (when listened to w/ out headphones)!! i haven't come across any live music from this reggae great, who is no doubt one of my favorites!!!

** overall, lovely sound despite the presence of a few very small warts or light crunches beneath the surface of the music (this is a solid recordinging (B+ > A- for vocals / A for the rest of the music), but remember, i hate grades and i'm an easy grader. It's hard to predict what you'll give it (i can see anywhere from B > A), but regardless, this is very enjoyable for me). sadly, however, the vocals are a little low so you might want to crank it. still, the beauty and power of hugh mundell's voice is some what neutralized by the recording, which is odd because the band sounds wonderful (clear, loud, and fully present). very minimal tape hiss and almost no crowd disturbance. i'm sure i'm being overly critical of the sound quality, and every time i get distance from this show and revisit it, i find it sounds better than i remembered. moreover, the band is supa wicked! the guitar work is insane!! essential roots show!!! ... this is heavy ...

Since there's interest in it, I'll start a vine. First person to post in this thread and pm me with his address will get the show which he'll re-offer here when he receives it.

(P.S.: Would love to hear that 1977 show, too, if the sound is correct!)

Haven't been able to hear it myself, but its well received.
I'd also be interested in anyone willing to trade cdr's of Hugh Mundell Shows.

hi ,ras b
my name is fadel and i only registered a week ago in this forum
i have a bootleg tape of hugh mundell at the one stone,sanfrancisco in late 1981 and a friend of mine told me that he saw in paris in the same year while he was a student.the concert is recorded from the audience but worth having for you don't have many like that.
but i never knew that he toured as earlier as 1977 and never knew that he also toured in 1983.
any which way iam not that much using any messenger to send sound,unless i ask my computer scientist friend how to do it
you can send me a personnal message at silverlining72@hotmail.com
i will be very glad to discuss with you and see how we can further up our collaboration

hi benjamin
iam also a great fan of hugh mundell whom i think is still unknown to the great public even though people would always refer to him as the young genius who died very soon.
a friend of mine told me that he saw him in paris and i think it was only one concert that he played in 1981 in paris
the one i have is held at the one ston,in san francisco the same year.
i would like to have young mundell live in 1977 to see what he sounded like before the release of his debut album
feel free to contact me at
