1st gen cassette, taped by Ray Hogan

taped by Ray Hogan (missed Tangerine, Moby Dick & Whole Lotta Love)

1st source. At one time the whole concert was recorded by the original taper using a reel to reel. The story goes that the taper, as the years passed by, became disinterested in his reel to reel collection and he tried to sell his equipment and reels in local magazine. He didn't get any takers for his stuff so after awhile he simply just took it all down to the local rubbish tip where it lays buried and lost forever. The only remaining document he had left of his original recordings were several cassette tapes.

Black & white professional video with actual sound shot by a local TV crew for documentary. A recent digital broadcast brought the video in a much better quality but edited out some parts. Though the end is a bit longer on this broadcast.

Color amateur footage without actual sound, filmed by road crew and the manager. Shot from three different cameras.

no source tape available, only silver pressed bootlegs

Called Artie's source (available as a Sony TC120>master>1st gen cassette that runs too fast (clocks at 121:16) and as a Sony TC120>master cassette>1st gen cassette that runs at the correct speed (clocks at 121:40)). It's reported that Artie was sitting on the stage with a t-shirt that had "STAFF" (or security) on it while Nicky (hes mate) was recording this show. Artie had two 120 minutes tapes, one was in the recorder and the other was with Artie. When security found Artie on the stage they took him to the security office and then brought him back to the seats his ticket was for (nowhere near Nicky). That's why only one tape is available.

4th source (master reel to reel), might be incomplete?

song order incorrect

Master cassette, taped by Bob Guarnieri. The taper says there is more encores to this show and he is hoarding them still but a big caution must be taken to these statements.

This one is very smooth and crisp (master and 1st gen sounds a touch muddier), runs at correct speed, also this has 10 seconds more intro and about 1 minute more applause before and after Immigrant Song. Dazed And Confused was spread across two tapes but nothing is missing, only 2 seconds repeated.
