Supposed to be from early 1969, black & white lip sync professional video. A promo clip used in Japan. Some says might be from Thee Image Club, Florida February 1969. Three versions available - some are missing introduction.

Cannot be sure if master reel really exists. I have been told, he was between 15 and 20 in the late 70s so he would have been under ten in 1969. Bob is still around and probably didn't record the show, just has the masters(?).

Available as 1st gen with lots of noise reduction with more tape hiss than the 2nd gen with 30 seconds of tape at the beginning (clocks at 46:46), as a cleaner 1st gen without noise reduction wth less tape hiss and missing 30 seconds (clocks at 47:01), and as a very clean master reel>1st gen with 30 seconds (clocks at 47:55). Both were done in early 1970s.

soundboard reel master>pre-broadcast FM master (see forward) First of all, this show was not broadcast live as it was happening. It was broadcast some days after the original show taking place, and as of yet, the date of the original broadcast is unknown. The Swedish radio station secured the rights to broadcast only a part of the show from Peter Grant, who thus gave them what we have today; copied from Jimmy's master reel. From there the Pre-Broadcast reel resided in Swedish radio archives until relatively recently. Around 1992 it was transferred to DAT. Also available as Presence (Jason Peterson) clone.

Cannot be sure if master really exists but almost positive that is no available. It has slight less hiss. The lineage is in question, but is definitely a low generation. Other circulating copies and bootleg releases show significant and very clever tinkering. Some examples are the removal of an audience member commenting Good Times Bad Times during its use as a lead-in, and a fake ending added to How Many More Times. (also available as Presence (Jason Peterson) clone.

Shure mic>Ampex C-60 master cassette. There has been questions of whether all circulating copies come from a 2nd gen tape or not. After some conversations with Charley he verified that all copies circulating were anywhere from 4th to 8th gen analog copies of the actual 2nd gen cassette. We also agreed it was time once and for all to set the record straight and put out a clean verified generation of this recording. Charley was gracious enough to lend the actual 2nd gen cassette and a DAT(0) copy he later received from the taper himself off the master cassette to transfer. After transferring decided the DAT was the better sounding of the 2 transfers so here it is. Also of note there is no reel bump/pause present during the solo on Heartbreaker that is present on the 2nd gen cassette.
