Will's reel was dubbed in the spring of 1979 and to the best of my knowledge, has been the source to the circulating version. However, in this case, Pat Lee dubbed his reel off of will's so it could have been Pat's reel that has been the source through the years.  I do know Will's reel has hardly been played and in pristine condition and the results bear this out- Matt Smith

Audience patches come from master tapes recorded by Gene Taback aka Snoid at LL. He and sent to me for this project. Some mastering and pitch correction was performed to improve the sound.  The Johnny B Goode is on Gene's tape but likely isn't from that night, but we left it just because we wanted and because memories still seem hazy.  Almost no music is missing from this now, short of the casey jones..2 patches in darkstar, 2 in china cat and tons of others. enjoy. 

Another slightly better audience tape is in the works. This may be re-released some day.
As it stands, certainly an enjoyable listen.
