STEPHEN STILLS IN CUBA
Saturday, 3 March 1979
So hereby hangs a tale! I posted a version of this the other day from soundaboard's Rippin’ Frog and friend Speedy from So Many Roads dropped by to say it was in fact his artwork and a different version to his original and I made note of this on the entry here . . . . .
Now I noticed on So Many Roads following this that someone in the comments posted a link to a fuller version than either source had to date! I KNOW RIGHT!
So have told everyone involved but here are all the links so you can download them all and make a full set for yourselves. It should be noted that the ’new’ version is in FLAC format so to make a full set in one format you will have to convert this but hey what d’ya want fer nuffin!?
Intro
01 - For What It's Worth
02 - Jet Set (Sigh)
03 - Turn Back The Pages
04 - Love The One You're With
05 - Precious Love
06 - Red House
07 - Fine Love
08 - Love The One You're With (reprise)
09 - Cuba Al Fin
10 - Part Time Love
Speedy’s version also has a different track separating ‘Turn Back the Pages’ from Jet Set (Sigh) and an intro not found elsewhere so some 10/11 tracks in all

After two decades, the U.S. ban on travel to and from Cuba was lifted, creating new diplomatic and cultural exchange opportunities. Sensing the time was right, CBS Records, in conjunction with the U.S. State Department, staged an international coup by organising an unprecedented three-night series of concerts in the Cuban capital of Havana.
Dubbed "Havana Jam," this historic cultural exchange took place on March 2, 3 and 4, 1979 at the 4800-seat Karl Marx Theater and marked the first time American musicians had performed in Cuba since the Castro regime gained power two decades prior.
The King Biscuit Flower Hour accompanied a plane full of Columbia Records artists as they participated in this first comprehensive music festival held in Cuba, which featured an all-star cast of musicians from a wide range of musical genres. In addition to Cuban artists, performers included Weather Report (with Jaco Pastorius); Stephen Stills (who had been experimenting with Latin music his entire career); Kris Kristofferson and Rita Coolidge; John McLaughlin (famed Mahavishnu Orchestra guitarist) performing a one-off trio gig with Tony Williams and Jaco Pastorius; the CBS Records Jazz Allstars, which featured a wealth of jazz greats including the Heath Brothers, Stan Getz, and Dexter Gordon, in addition to the final night headliner Billy Joel. Unfortunately Billy's set at Havana Jam was not recorded or videotaped.
The King Biscuit Flower Hour would nationally broadcast various material from these historic concerts, most of which has never been officially released.
