Remember Shakti - Live at Symphony Space, New York City, USA, June 27th, 1999 [FLAC]

Easy Ed notes: I believe I probably received this shortly after it was recorded. I am assuming that this DAT was sent to me by the person who recorded it, though I have no record of their name. I don't recall ever asking for this recording - I think it was sent to me because the person who recorded it was proud of his recording and thought I'd like to have a copy. I am also assuming that it is a digital clone direct from the DAT master, as all good, knowledgeble traders in those days would only have made a digital transfer: only lame-ass idiots would make an analog copy of a DAT. And a taper using Schoeps and a Sonosax wouldn't likely be that lame. * I'm assuming the 'Sonosax' referenced is the SX-M2 microphone preamp http://www.sonosax.ch/discontinued/sxm2m1/sxm2m1_index.html).
