here is the info file from Dime
James Taylor (Baby James By The Bay) Oakland 1972 (SB) (Reseed)
Looks like a James Taylor run?
I got this from Dime 16th Sep, 2005, upped by TedBell. Thank you very much. It was snatched 523 times when I got it.
My comments: James singing and playing guitar.
I checked several big sale sites, and could not find this. I found it referenced at
http://www.jamestaylorweb.com/jtbootlegs.html
which lists it as an ROIO. From their comments:
“Previously available on the CDR trading circuit, this excellent recording of a 1972 Oakland, CA show was originally planned as an official live release by Warner Brothers. Collectors will note that this CD omits 25% of the planned double-album, as it was mastered from only three available reels of the original four-reel set.”

Additional Comments on show:
From Blue Fish
A great soundboard recording. Polar Bear Records claims that this is a Warner Brothers official recording that was initially going to be released as a live album but was instead replaced by another studio album. The quality is fantastic and James puts on a very good performance. There are a few fades between songs but that is all there really is to complain about. I’m not sure how much this show has been circulated but it will make a great addition to any James Taylor collection. Overall, a definite must have!! Any additional info on date and venue would be greatly appreciated.
