#53 THE BAND - Complete King Biscuit Flower Hour 1976 (Flac)

The Band's performance broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour was one of the first bootlegs I downloaded from the internet. Since those days a pre-FM edition has circulated in superb audio quality. This is the best version available and if you already have this show, check to make sure it's the pre-fm source offered here.

William Keats wrote:
The new Last Waltz booklet indicates the DC show date was actually 16 August 1976 (see page 1 of the booklet). The PreFM copy that I have has this setlist, which is not the entire show, but everything that King Biscuit broadcast (from PreFM sources including reels, which is how the Biscuit used to get sent out)
I write: However this date is known to be incorrect, the recording was most likely made on 17 July 1976

Personnel:
Robbie Robertson Guitars, Vocals
Rick Danko Bass, Vocals, Violin
Richard Manuel Drums, Keyboards, Vocals
Levon Helm Vocals, Guitars
Garth Hudson Keyboards, Sax
