Caveat: While you may find this to be one of the very best sounding 1973 
audience recordings you have encountered, please note the persistence of wind 
noise here and there throughout the show. Ambient most of the time, mildly 
distracting only occasionally, and intrusive only a handful of times, the 
wind element in no way overshadows the brilliance of the recording, but 
bears mentioning, none-the-less.
