Badfinger + Big Star @ Cambridge, MA 1974-03-31

set 1 is pretty much all guitar but still a great listen


until now, i haven't offered up any of my earlier mono recordings, but at
jeff's request, i dusted this one off for a listen this week, and i think
finger fans will find these two complete sets a worthy addition to their
music collections. also, my friend doug worked at a local college radio
station and arranged an interview between sets with gibbins and molland
which i also recorded and include here. a lively and "animated" session
ensued which i think you'll find entertaining. it has been reported that
the second set was cut short due to molland's condition:
