Volume 20

19^th July 1978

(HOUSTON)

Note: The previous show from this tour is the one played in Fort Worth and because it was
officially released on audio and video this is not part of this series!

19th July 1978: Houston, Texas, Sam Houston Coliseum
A soundboard recording was made by Bob Clearmountain (11 tracks appeared in the KBFH
broadcast).

Several years ago I uploaded a compilation for this Houston show titled "Working On Houston Puzzle": https://iorr.org/talk/read.php?2,2330635,2330635#msg-2330635

More recently new versions surfaced like « Houston Texas, 1978 » and overall « Handsome Girls Houston 1978 » (DAC 172) which use the same audience recording I used in my version.

Here I offer a reworked version of the DAC 172 release merged with the previous versions (audience or KBFH): they’re from the same sources so the reworking seems subtle. Here the best quality (KBFH source) is alongside the worst (the audience recording).

For the merges of the last 3 tracks I used the DAC 068 version which is slightly different from the DAC 172.
As usual the recordings used are de-clicked and the phase is adjusted.
