Notes:

The original notes for JEMS/Slowburn's release of the September 30, 1978, show had this sentence:

"The pre-FM source is missing the entire encore (presumably a lost third cassette, and yes, we've asked if it might be hiding behind dresser or something), needs a long patch (6+ minutes) from halfway through "Prove It All Night" through the start of "Racing in the Street" (we had hoped tape baking would fix this damaged part but it didn't)..."

This "Disc 1 Upgrade" release is to upgrade that 6+ minute stretch.  First, more of the pre-FM tape is utilized for "Prove It All Night."  And second, a previously-uncirculated FM master reel source of the original broadcast, recorded from a radio station in New Orleans, LA, and transferred to DAT (thanks, DB), is used as the patch for the rest of "Prove It" and the first part of "Racing in the Street."  The new FM source is an upgrade over the previous one.

Unfortunately the new FM > reel > DAT source is also missing the encores so we were only able to upgrade disc one.
