missing Tangerine, Moby Dick and Whole Lotta Love

1st source (runs a bit fast - correct speed is near 53 mins.). The whole concert was taped on 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.

very likely two different unknown gens in circulation (latter part has speed issues)

Ampex C60 master cassette x3>Panasonic portable recorder (no source tape available, only silver pressed bootlegs)

Taped by Artie Costanzo, Sony TC-120>master cassette>1st gen cassette (some copies runs fast). 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.

super cheap stereo cassette recorded w/one microphone>cassette master>1st gen reel (1st gen reel eventually ate up the first part of Immigrant Song, there is also 1st gen spliced with unknown gen with Moby Dick misses more than 5 mins. and last 5 songs runs fast and clocks at 183 mins.)

2nd gen cassette Maxell UD 90 Type II x3 (some copies runs at 194 mins. due to speed issues and missing more than 5 mins. from Moby Dick)

3rd source, runs a bit slow (complete show clocks around 111 mins.)

3rd source, Whole Lotta Love incomplete

3rd source, only Whole Lotta Love but complete (runs slow, sounds a bit worse than confirmed gens)

3rd source, runs a bit slow (contains the same content as confirmed gens plus complete Whole Lotta Love)

4th source, runs a bit slow - correct speed is near 101 mins. (master reel to reel), officially released tracks have been left out in such a way that the tracks from "How The West Was Won" can be inserted without losing the flow of the show

song order incorrect

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)

Optimus Dual Deck>Master Cassette>Pioneer RT-701 R2R (taped by Bob Guarnieri).

3rd source, taped by Saotome (master cassette Sony C-120HF)

color amateur video without actual sound

1st source (original tapes have been lost possibly)

2nd source, original tapes have been lost possibly, it is said LP was pressed only a few times for the taper and his friends to commemorate their attendance at the concert (runs slow - correct speed is 83 mins.)

5th source, taped by Saotome (master cassette Sony C-120HF & Sony C-60HF). Plays slow.

7th source (no source tape available, only silver pressed bootleg)

3rd source (not sure if verified)

2nd source, runs a tiny bit slow

2nd source, Maxell XLII S90 & Maxell XLII90>Sony CFD-G500. 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.

2nd source, Type II cassette (Stairway To Heaven incomplete)
