The show was great until I brought them my "killer album",
(IIRC Neil Diamond "Taproot Manuscript") which had an extreme
guitar transient in the intro to one of the songs. They never found a
solution to tracking that song. My Stanton at home came closer
to success than their pickup.

Just had a listen and the most likely canditate is "I am the lion":
African drum intro, deep bass voice, "Hey hey, Bobbaladinga" Keraaang!

'Tap Root' really is an excellent album, the African Trilogy is one of
those perfect album sides which demands to be listened to as whole.
Super recording too and "African Suite" is one of the best orchestral
compositions in popular music.
Young kids absolutely love it, they sit enthralled from the opening
roll of thunder to the closing frog.
