Average White Band - Queens 1978

Here's a partial re-up of a kind by request ... couldn't locate the other part of the earlier share - if you can help out, please do so! This is NOT the same FM/SBD version, but seems to be pre-FM, so it might sound different. This is the version I have around without much digging, so there you go, sorry if the other sounds better, I'd have to rip it from CDR (and have no idea where that CDR - or the 1975 one - might be).

Many thanks to the seeder on dime - these are the very same files, no changes done.

7. She's A Dream

Broadcast on WLIR and WPIX FM.  This is from the pre-FM master cassette recorded at the performance.  A post-FM broadcast recording circulates as well.

There is a little noise in the left channel, which is only occasionally present and not really audible except in quieter songs, like "She's a Dream."  It sounds like one of the drum mics, or maybe it's just a strange sound coming from one of the snare drums.  The last second or two of "If I Ever Lose This Heaven" is lost to a tape flip.

In 1978, the Average White Band was:
Alan Gorrie - Guitar, Vocals
Hamish Stuart - Bass, Vocals
Onnie McIntyre - Rhythm Guitar, Vocals
Roger Ball - Keyboards, Alto Sax
Malcolm Duncan - Tenor and Soprano Sax
Steve Ferrone - Drums, Percussion

Enjoy!
