MILES DAVIS - BERLIN 1973

MILES DAVIS
Berlin 1973 [no label, 1CD]
Live at the Berliner Jazz Tage ‘73, Philharmonie, Berlin, West Germany; November 1, 1973 (early show). Very good FM recording.
Anyone who has followed Miles know that while Miles’ music was very accessible in the ’80s, he was on fire in the ’70s. It’d be tough on anyone who listens to this set and not work up a sweat.
Thanks to plaz_restore for sharing the tracks on the Dime site. Plaz_restore noted: “Recordings of this concert have been seeded previously in various forms, usually sourced from the Sender Freies TV broadcast. This one is from an ‘off-air’ FM reel and sounds better than most.”
