comments:
Both of these were made with the same Nak. 100 mikes and 
Sony D-5 cassette deck. the Providence version of "nostalgia" 
has a couple of brief speed flaws, most is quite enjoyable.
Several of their 84 listings say the drummer was Billy Cobham.
This is absolutely false. Cobham did not play on this tour.
this listed band was the regular lineup for the 84 and 85
tour until Jim Beard replaced Forman on the keyboards (86?,
maybe 85?). A few titles may be missing, most should be here.
I think Just Ideas and Josie found their way in this set but 
not sure where, I think the 2 ? tracks are other songs.
This is not my favorite McLaughlin tour, but it is the jazziest
Mahavishnu band of the lot and I'm sure some folks will appreciate
that. hard not to appreciate anything with Jonas Hellborg in it.
Radioactivity is the most Mahavishnulike song this band does,
so having 2 versions of it here shouldn't be too hard to take.
The Boston show is the full concert (one brief flip interruption,
and not a bad one). The Providence one is the 1st 3 songs of that show.
