Jim Croce - Harper College, Palantine, Il., 2-2-1973
So I set about trying to create the ultimate Jim Croce concert recording, without including any of the exact performances on "The Final Tour" album. The basis for this is a concert he did at Harper College in Illinois in 1973, since there's an excellent soundboard bootleg for that one. But there were some key songs that weren't included there, so I found some more and added them in at the beginning and the end.
Also, it seems some of the talking between songs at the Harper College concert didn't get recorded. (Back in those days especially, sometimes bootleggers turned their tape recorders off and on between songs in order to make sure they have enough tape to finish recording the show.) So, where it was relevant, I took some of his banter from another concert and added it in before the Harper College songs. But I only did that three times, so it isn't that big of a change.
All together, the concert is an hour and a half long, nearly to the second. An hour and five minutes of that actually comes from the Harper College show, and the remaining 25 minutes comes from four other sources. Occasionally there's a dip in the sound quality due to the differing sources, but it's generally excellent.
