Complete show, first generation copy with flutter-free end part.
Second of two shows (1st was on July 29th in hard rain, this went down in sunny weather).
Most collectors may have this c. 105 min. running show either as a copy off the old incomplete “Such a Night” vinyl bootleg or from a – complete - tape source which suffers from bad wow and flutter starting with “My Generation”. What you find here is a) first generation, b) complete and c) flutter-free
The show was taped on a 90min. TDK (chrome?) cassette, and you can clearly hear the tape change just before “My Generation” some 80 min. into the show. From there, the sound is audibly inferior due to the lesser-quality Normal cassette being used for the rest of the show.
Both master tapes originally ran OK. Early in the copying process however, both master cassettes were obviously lent to different people. One never cleaned his tape heads or rollers etc. so the 2nd cassette did not run smoothly and developed wow and flutter virtually from the start. This is the version that unfortunately got into wider circulation - either in complete state or on C 90 cassettes with “Magic Bus” cut midway through.
Such a 90min. version was used for the “Such A Night” bootleg a few years down the road and up the analog copy generation lineage. The bootleggers chopped off the “Magic Bus” part after “My Generation”, and placed it at the end of side 2 of their double album. Plus, they claimed on their cover the show took place on September 31, 1971.
