I had a recording of this concert on cassette in the late '70s, long since lost. I now have it on CD.
Lineage: Audience tape recording > unknown digital transfer to CD > EAC (rip logs included)> FLAC > torrent

Very good audience recording, although it's a shame about the cut in Tarkus - missing the whole of Mass and Manticore.
There is also a cut in Abaddon's Bolero and some tape tracking problems following the cut so it looks like the tape got 'chewed up' at some point, which may also account for the gap in Tarkus?
...the band are out of sync with the backing tape of Bolero...the louder it gets, the worse it gets!
Oh, also on my 'Wanted' list is Birmingham Nov '71 (again, I had this many years ago on a C60) where they play Fugue, Hoedown and Tarkus in between messing about and Emo ranting about the price of Pictures at an Exhibition in the shops. I believe this show appears on Stomping Encore along with the Gaelic Park show but I don't know if it's complete. i.e. with all the banter.
Second is an interview on Japanese radio from 1972, which again is, er....fun.
