Notes from info file:

This tape was made on a portable open reel machine. A cassette copy from the master reel was made, and my friend gave me that cassette for transfer. Although the sound is "close" and excellent, there are flaws apparent. For example, "Night" has distortion in the opening notes and volume fluctuations, as does "Rendezvous" toward the beginning. Also, levels do fluctuate occasionally throughout the recording, and a few microphone bumps are audible.

Another version, appparently from a different copy of the same master, was seeded earlier this year. That version contains a bit more space between songs, but also contains the same flaws. I suspect some applause, etc., was cut by the taper on this copy in order to fit the entire show onto a single 120 minute cassette. This one does have better sound, possibly due to a lower number of analog generations.

Don't let the flaws stop you - it's a fine recording of Bruce when he was young, inspired and electric.
