(No Label No #) 198?
This is another relatively hard to find album. There are no recording dates given, but it looks like the two tracks featuring Ralph were from the 14-15th July 1979, as Ralph announces I'm In A New World as having been recently recorded and that "it'll be out on album and tape anytime now".[1]
The album is marred somewhat by horrid overdubbed crowd noise...
On side two, there is a track by Wendy Smith and Blue Velvet. Wendy contributed at least 6 songs to Ralph's repertoire including the Hills Of Home tribute to Carter.[2]
A report of the festival by John Barton was included in the 16 Jul 1979 edition of "The Ann Arbor News". It reported that the event at North Township Park, Whitmore Lake, Michigan drew a crowd of 10,000 over the three days and gave a generally good review.
