Oh, btw, go listen to Led Zeppelin's recording of 'Nobody's Fault but Mine' and then have a listen again to Mance's last song on this recording. Then you'll see for yourself how LZ "borrowed" from Mance and other Black musicians to become the Rock legends they are. Music builds on music - artists bulid on one another, whether or not they want to acknowledge it.

Very precious recordings thanks to Dick Abrams & Marc Silver. A National treasure.

Sounds like a warm hug right!

really good quality

Thank you for taking the effort of sharing these recordings. This electrifying rendition of Nobody's Business already would have been worth the upload on its own. It is always a pleasure, to stumble over previously unreleased recordings of Mance Lipscomb. I wonder, how many recordings of unreleased songs are still out there. It seems to me, that his repertoire got a bit narrower towards the end and many sets share the same numbers (probably the most popular by audience choice). Judging by the occasionally appearing rarer recordings I believe his repertoire was much bigger than the released recordings suggest.

Thank you for posting; this is simply amazing! Mance knocked it out of the park on every song (as he tended to do), and he sounded great on that Gibson, too. I've been seeking out all the recordings of Mance that I can find, and, as far as I'm aware, this may be the only recording of Mance playing "Nobody's Business" (though his "Cocaine Done Killed My Baby" is a variant, he played it here with entirely different words and melody), so it's truly a historic recording.

Wow; terrific sound it blows my mind listening to it!
