This is a loving restoration of absolutely Essential Garcia
Stereo image present, previously listed as mono
Some strange panning as tape runs out half way into After Midnight.
It Takes A Train fades in.
Splice at 9:01 of After Midnight.

In the process of vetting the Knudsen tapes, we spent some time listening to transfers of his tapes of this performance, which were not an improvement in material or quality.
While not generally in our wheel house to restore previous shnids, this Essential Garica Show, and excellent recording deserved to be heard at the right speed for future generations. We balanced levels, undid some of the generational loss and returned the sound and mix to how we suspect the engineer who recorded it intended the music to be listened. Enjoy.

While this show circulated as 9/1/72 in analog days, it is incorrect
"So, what about 6/30/72? I don't know what the Jerry Site has gathered over the years, but its listing was my initial justification for dating the material 6/30/72. Somewhat miraculously, there is a contemporary account of the show that brings a few pieces of evidence in support of the date and one not in support of it. Joel Selvin reports that on the last night of Herrera's ownership (i.e., 6/30/72), the Garcia-Saunders-Kahn-Vitt-Fogerty quintet opened "their last set at Keystone with lengthy, rousing versions of After Midnight, Money Honey, and an untitled, basically unstructured instrumental" (p.1). The existing tape shows set II to begin with It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry (strike), but then indeed proceeds with After Midnight (check), Money Honey (check), and a version of "Are You Lonely For Me Baby?" (call that .5 strike) that melts into a crazy, dissonant, 20+ minute instrumental passage (check) before the tape cuts out. Selvin tells us that Paul Butterfield comes on stage and trades licks with Jerry for 40 minutes at that point, but --alas!-- there seems to be no more tape."

"In 1972 the club was sold to Todd Barken and immediately became a hit jazz spot featuring most of the big names of the times. He had a concept for a "bona fide psychedelic jazz club," and it limped from benefit to benefit, including one to buy a liquor license"
