Digital Booklet
|
Chicago '78 is a two-disc live album by guitarist, singer, and songwriter Frank Zappa, released in November 2016, consisting of the recording of the entire second concert held on September 29, 1978 at the Uptown Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. When creating the album, co-producer Joe Travers found that there were several gaps in the main concert recording, caused by the changing of tape reels. He was able to capture the entire show by splicing in recordings from two other sources: the main source of ½-inch 4-Track analog tape masters and secondary sources consisting of the ¼-inch 2-Track reel-to-reel analog tape masters & a board cassette!
