The concert on Thursday, 12 November 1981, was a private concert that the two sound engineers Daniel A. Meyer and Daniel Saner had organised with the duo at the Chrämerhuus in Langenthal. They let a cassette deck (Eumig FL-1000) run, according to Meyer very probably with an OSS or Jecklin disc and originally with Dolby C. Meyer digitised the first cassette side and sent it to Daniel Pepl in 2020. The file is an uncut recording of 2 hours 16 minutes. At about 40 minutes the duo plays “Host'n Raga”; later too (around 1:08 and 1:22) the playing is, in Meyer's words, at times unleashed.

According to Meyer, digital recordings on VHS tape in the 14-bit PCM process (Hitachi) were also made at the Chrämerhuus at the time. Whether one of this evening exists is not known, nor is the second cassette side. The recording is unreleased.
