Seeing my ownnotes I saw I reseeded this already once in jy of 2009. There's been asked for it again, so here goes :)
Since I just saw the "Charge of the Light Brigade" be reseeded ... here is the complete "Birthday" show, parts of which feature in that torrent. This seems to be where the nucleus of early Journey (i.e. Schon and Rolie) is reunited after leaving Santana.
Thanks to taperpat and the uploader on D.a.D...
Created missing FFP (on 2009), checked for sbe and lossless.. check out just fine!
enjoy the goosebumps, share the gigs, support the artists

******************
This show comes from taperpat’s 1st Gen. reel copy of this amazing performance!
Note that there was no 'remastering' done to this recording apart from a 6.9 gain boost, cleaning up the cut from original tape flip and adding beginning and ending fades. There was no re-encoding or compression added.
There is some light tape crackle in the left channel on tracks 4, 5 and 6 that was on taperpat's original reel. This, to me, does not affect the overall quality of the recording, which again is excellent!
I personally feel the sound quality is superior to all other complete and incomplete versions of this show out there (I have 5 different copies – 3 from Dime!). It is a nice, warm mix with excellent stereo separation. Neal is on FIRE and the rest of the band ain't too bad, either ;)

Comments from taperpat regarding this version of the tape:
I can't comment on the band title but can help a bit on the original taper. My version of this show came labeled as Birthday 1/1/73 and I have had it since mid '73 at the latest. Same personnel and set list.
