This live version is so much better than the lethargic LP version. I was at this concert as a boy; it changed my life. I've watched all your videos from this concert, which brought back wonderful memories. Please post more if you have them!
Thanks for your kind thoughts. I have the full 3 hour concert! (I believe that I have the only copy.) It was broadcast by Channel WXXI in Rochester. They are now part of the PBS network. As far as I can tell, they never recorded it or they may have destroyed their tapes. I'm learning to use my upgraded editing software. When I become more proficient, more will come.
@@SillyConGraphics Looking forward to it! I grew up in Rochester in the 70s and 80s. Chuck held two concerts on this day celebrating the city's Sesquicentennial: I attended the matinee in the afternoon, and then watched the broadcast on WXXI that night. My family taped parts of the broadcast on VHS, but I have no idea where that tape is now, and I wouldn't have any way to play it anyway. The concert inspired me to love music and made a life-long impression.
@@SillyConGraphicsUpon reading your comment, I realized that I mis-remembered. We didn't record the concert on VHS, as we didn't have a VCR in 1984. Rather, the concert was simulcast on WXXI radio 91.5 FM, and we taped part of it off the air. So I have a stereo copy of the audio on cassette, although I have no way to play that either.
Cool upload! Would love to get in contact with you about Chuck Mangione. I run a website all about Chuck and Gap Mangione. Would love to contact you about this concert.
