Taj Mahal - Ebbets Field, Denver, CO, 5-16-1973, Late Show

The album I just posted is Taj Mahal performing at Ebbets Field in Denver on May 16, 1973, for the early show. This is the same, except it's the late show. The two shows have very similar set lists. (And both were broadcast on the radio, which is why they have such excellent sound quality.) Normally, I wouldn't post two concerts that are this similar. But I figure these are quite obscure. I had a difficult time finding them. So I want to post both, to bring them back into wider circulation.

The main difference between this show and the early show is the last two songs, which were only performed in this show. Plus, the last four songs in the early show weren't performed here. So if you want everything without multiple versions of songs, I suggest you save the early show, then add the last two songs from this late show to the end.

By the way, in case you didn't notice, I recently changed the font type and color for the Ebbets Field concerts I've been posting. The first seven or so had a yellow color. But there were some troublesome issues with that font. So when I found another sixty (!) or so concerts from this venue, I decided to use an easier one. I also found a little logo from the venue showing the baseball stadium in New York City that the venue was named after. I decided to stick that on all the albums from that venue. Since that logo was mainly in green, I changed the font color to green. In recent days, I went back and reposted all the yellow ones to the new color scheme, so they'll all be consistent. 

This album is 54 minutes long.

The cover image is from Great Southeast Music in Atlanta, Georgia, on November 26, 1973. The original was in black and white, but I colorized it with the use of the Kolorize program. Note that I took the picture from the early show from the same show. I like the similarity, since I figure he would have worn the same clothes in the two shows performed on this date.
