On Saturday, October 26, 1963 we arrived at the Kresge Auditorium on the campus of MIT, with no thought of recording the show, so had made no preparations to do so. But in a stroke of luck, a technically savvy friend from Boston, John Keeler, arrived early for the concert and noticed that a professional Ampex tape machine was part of the amplification system. He offered to record our performance for us, and we gratefully accepted. It is these tapes, preserved by us for 45 years, digitized and only lightly edited, that you hear on this recording.
Good fortune smiled upon us in another way too. Not only were the hall, the recording equipment and the audience superb, but in our three years of touring and playing at colleges, clubs and concert halls, this was one of our finest performances. We were really “on” that night, and are so pleased with the way that comes through in these recordings.
