NPO 2 Extra TV broadcast


This show has been previously uploaded to Youtube, however these versions have either been incomplete or with mono audio (this channel had previously posted an audio version which was a composite of mono and stereo but was still incomplete). This new version is both complete- almost two and a quarter hours- and in excellent stereo sound.

The mix is all over the place for the first couple of minutes but it soon settles down and it's an excellent, typical Miles gig of the era, with long stretches of funky playing driven by Jones's beefy bass, blistering solos from Sco and Berg, and The Chief in good form, leading from the front. Enjoy!
