The Dark Horse Train rolls on! Not sure which version I have, and there's a good chance they are identical, given the home-made feel of the unknown version's artwork. The below review notwithstanding, the sound quality isn't bad at all - the sound comes across loud and clear, and in stereo! Not a great stereo effect of course, and it pans back and forth at times, but still... There's a bit of a crackle at times, but to these ears, it's one of the better recordings of the ill-favoured 1974 North American tour.
No Indian music section here - I had assumed that the matinee performances were shorter, and tended to omit a lot, but now I suspect not. Anyone out there who remembers?
