Quasi-Mystical Vision

Jersey City, N.J. USA, 17 June 1976 Siberian Khatru, Sound Chaser, I've Seen All Good People, Gates of Delerium, Long Distance Runaround, Clap, Sunhillow, Heart of the Sunrise. Performance: A Recording: A- 1 disc 73:21 Notes: Story Of Relayer (SR) vs Quasi-Mystical Vision (QMV) These two recordings are definately the same show, and probably from the same (or similar) sources. Clearly SR is more complete. Its drawback is a slightly muffled sound. I believe that it has been treated with some sort of noise reduction technology. QMV has a more clear and crisp sound, but also has some of the noise that's apparently been removed in SR. A big mark against QMV: abrupt edits, even where I'd say they weren't at all necessary - like between the Moraz/Howe/Anderson solos. Overall, I'd say that Story Of Relayer is the better version.
