Dickey Betts - guitar, vocals
Gregg Allman - piano (listed on j-card but not identified from the stage)
Matt Abts - drums (probably)
Chuck Leavell - keyboads, vocals
Chris Merrell - guitar, vocals
Manny Privette - bass (probably)

As of January 2025, a seemingly uncirculated performance.  Charleston is identified, and the date is plausible, but the date could not be confirmed.  Nor is Gregg Allman named from the stage.

The recording has a few flaws, mostly small tape warble stuff here and there.   The beginning of Hideaway is blurry as if the tape had slack when the recording started.  The biggest problem was a series of 5 dropouts in Jessica which, miraculously, were all easily cross-faded or otherwise made to disappear.  Tape flip before Don't Want You No More.  Matthew's Arrival is a monster.

Enjoy!
