Thanks to Peter Losin for The last MFT missing.
1 Naima (J. Coltrane) 07:03
2 Traneing In (J. Coltrane) 19:16

The order of Tracks is given Following the John Coltrane Reference.
Following Losin's Site the first 6 tracks are supposed to be the First Concert but it is not Sure.
The Second MFT (Track 6) is supposed to come from the Second concert.
The Coltrane Reference States that there is no evidence at all of this.
We only know that intermission was between Mr Pc and Naima probably in both concerts.
That MFT was always the Last Track Played .
The other 6 Tracks played in the Losin "second Concert" + Mr.Pc from the "First Concert" are commercially available in the pablo Box (partially misdated)
here we have the Losin data:

Goody's notes for the anal:
Pitch of 1, 2 was approximately 37 cents flat.
Pitch of 3 was flat at first, then gradually changed, getting flatter til the end.
Initial complete track offset: +53
Further offset adjustment after this correction to adjust gradual speed change:
Speed/pitch drift started around 6:22.454 to the end, and went flat by an additional 30 cents, or so.
McCoy's piano has some very out of tune keys, as well.
Due to the gradual pitch correction algorithm in software, there will still be moments where the pitch
will be slightly out of tune. This was essentially unavoidable,
but overall the correction is now much truer overall to a corrected speed/pitch change.
Pitch of 4 was approximately 1 semitone (100 cents) flat, and towards the end of this track, after Garrison's solo,
upon Contrane's re-entry, there seems to be further damage to the recording, causing the speed/pitch to waver, increasingly.
Unfortunately, this cannot be repaired. C'est la vie.
Pitch of 5 was approximately 39 cents flat.
Pitch of 6 was approximately 36 cents sharp.
Goody's notes for the still as yet not too bored:
Thanks to Maurizio for the work he did on this set, which lead to my discovering and fixing it further for y'all.
These are beautiful performances for a very fortunate audience.
New inspired inventions and improvisations spun effortlessly and masterfully.
I really do believe that properly tuning these things up (or down...) makes a huge difference in being able to feel
these tracks groove more naturally, as they are now being heard again for the first time
as they were originally performed over 47 years ago.
There's a reason for the tempos taken at that time on these tunes by master timekeeper Elvin Jones.
The results are absolutely evident.
McCoy - sorry about the bum piano they gave you to play on. You tamed that thing as only you could. I feel you.
In every note and every harmony.
Thank you Jimmy for the pulse. For the cool walkin'.
And to Trane, there's so much you can do with just one note. Every one of them gets your life breathed into it. And dances. And then becomes magnetic. And so we have you to listen to whenever we like.
I give thanks.
