Note: A version of this show went into circulation in November, 2001 
(http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=18458) as part of a 
larger set put out by The Archival Group Tree marking the 30 year 
anniversary of the closing of the Fillmore West.  The lineages of 
that set seem a bit suspect to the ear (plenty of hiss and lo-fi 
quality for something saying it is from master reels), plus it was 
a bit of a hack job in its assembly (large level discrepancies between 
sources, SBEs at every track ID, etc..).  That version also mentions 
four missing songs at the opening.  However, this new version provides 
the Bill Graham intro running directly into the first song, 
"Workingman's Blues," with no tape splice.  So, this missing song 
issue is debatable. This version here is sourced off of different 
reels, and while the quality is not *A*, it may be found to be a 
more enjoyable version of the show to the ear.

A few of the tracks from this date circulate (SBD) on the official 
re-release of the Riders debut LP.  The NRPS archivist, Rob 
Bleetstein, has given permission for the safe on-line release of this 
FM version of those songs (Feb 2005).
