This FM recording seems really rare and i have never seen it on any trackers before.

There are two station IDs -- one after "Carol" and another after "Let It Rock."

The cd was originally burned as TAO, so i had to remove all the micro gaps.

I then sent it over to elegymart to figure out the set list and notes. I was surprised to see what we had here.

It's unclear who's playing in Chuck Berry's band during this show. If anyone knows, please chime in.

Crabby Appleton also performs a seperate set, but i'm not sure if they were the opening or headlining act.

Crabby Appleton had a very short band life from 1969 - 1972, recording only 2 albums.

Check samples for quality.
