Stephen Stills and the California Blues Band
"Carovana del Mediterraneo" tour (with Richie Havens and Angelo Branduardi)
Stadio San Siro Milano Italy
July 15th 1980
Back in the summer of 1980 I had the chance to attend my very first show of one of the members of the legendary supergroup CSNY.
Stephen Stills was touring Italy with his California Blues Band along with Angelo Branduardi and Richie Havens.
Stills act was the second of the night but there was a beginning and an ending song with all three singers together.
At that time I was working for a local radio (Radio Supermilano 102.7) and I came across an incomplete but superb recording of the show. Crowd noises seem to be very far on this recording so I guess it was taken far from the audience somewhere in the big stadium.
Few years ago 38f uploaded his recording of this show which was complete apart from the first and last songs with Branduardi Stills and Havens together.
I used from this recording the song "It's just a rumour" and first 25 seconds of "Precious Love" missing on my tape.
Recently my friend L.C. came across a third source (FB recording) for this show, inferior quality but including the jamming songs Get Together at the beginning and Blowin in the wind at the end (incomplete) never circulated in the past.
Here's my offer to the commnunity of my very first CSNY related show (now I attended 39) in its complete format, in honour of new Stills forthcomig European (and Italian) shows !

Hello Antonio, I've been at a concert on Loreley(-Rock) in Germany, where the same artists were playing in 1980, too and I was happy to find something like that, because "tapes" from this period of CSNY are very rare to get. Unfortunately your torrent isn't available no more.
Could you give me some help, where it is "traded" now?
Ciao Joachim
Hi Antonio, I've forgotten to leave something to contact me, if you would have the intention to. ;-)
Hasta luego, Joachim
