FESTIVAL ACTUEL, AMOUGIES (Belgium)
Day One - October 24, 1969

As promised after last week's "Zappa in Amougies" torrent, I will now be seeding the individual performances. Of course, this will include many more bands than the ones Zappa jammed with ! Unfortunately, the taper (JJB) didn't record everything, but when he did, he generally recorded complete sets. There are exceptions though, beginning with Colosseum in this debut torrent, and this will be the case with some of the French bands from the Sunday afternoon. Still, better than nothing ! Also, there are obvious issues with the sound quality. Firstly, the tape recorder used was way below modern standards and the sound is nowhere near "professional" standards. Secondly, in order to save on batteries, the taper occasionally turned the recorder off between songs, resulting in a few truncated introductions. These reservations aside, however, this is simply an unbelievable document of a legendary festival, and so our hearfelt thanks to the taper for recording this at the time, and for allowing me to seed it here.

I did my best to document setlists and line-ups but some information is still missing. I am sure TYA fans, in particular, will be able to provide a setlist for their performance.

What's next ? Surprise, surprise... But don't worry, the rest will follow soon...

(There is about 85 minutes of music in this torrent; rather than combining sets to match CD-length, I preferred to leave the performances in their original order)
