Excellent quality solo show with lots of unreleased songs and chatter between songs. This show was transferred from analog cassette to DAT

This  recording was made more than 25 years ago but themusic sounds very clear., This is the first known recorded live show of Jackson Browne. This CD is nice to have because of the historic value and the many unreleased songs.

"The venue was called The Jabberwocky (a small, 200 seat nightclub) located at Syracuse University, in Syracuse, N.Y. I know this because I attended college at Syracuse University from 1975-79. This club holds a special place in my heart, because every Friday, from 4:00 to 7:00 P.M., was what we called "Happy Hour" at the "Jab." (half priced drinks). Myself and many of my friends religiously attended. I even had a girlfriend at the time who worked as a waitress at the club, so I spent many (perhaps too many) days and nights there.Anyway, the evening that Jackson performed there in 1972 is the stuff of legend on the SU campus. He was not actually the scheduled act on that evening. The headliners for the evening were Orleans (John Hall's band), who all came from nearby Elmira, N.Y. Jackson was backstage all evening, and according to many eyewitness accounts, extremely drunk. After Orleans finsihed their show (about 2:00 A.M.), Jackson came out on stage (extremely, extremely, drunk) and did his set." Jim Mauro
