    The file has less than 200 MB - so maybe it is an mp3. I remember I've downloaded it in flac...but the music is so good and there are too few recordings from Russell's work from the 1960s that I wouldn't refrain from dl even if it would be only in a very low bit-rate....

    Many thanks onxidlib..Yea I'll second your comments bout George Russell circa mid 60's.After the initial burst of riverside recordings G.R's music becomes a lot less documented..There was a live bootleg from another European tour from around this period (issued a couple of years ago) fea. John Gilmour of Sun Ra fame amongst others..This one looks equally fine..Look forward to checking this out..

    Hey agmosk - please share your flac version!
    ANd maybe you can share the Bremen as well. I only have the Gambit CD which has only four tracks.

    Thank you onxidlib, whatever the format.
    As I said before, most of the links on Folly, including this one, were dead by the time I had discovered it.

    Thanks, onxidlib. You're right. There are too few recoedings from the 1960s. So this one is more than welcome.

    Thanks. Not many live shows of his around.

    These do appear to be in flac, so perhaps were mono sources (not unusual for that time if a contemporary broadcast).

    Track 4 is "The Outer View" (not "Out of You") and "Kentucky Oysters" (just those two songs, no "Stratusphunk")
