Quality:   G     -PIET (Raymonds book)

Comments:  Reissued in 1978 with deluxe b & w cover
           Reissued in 1984 as box set with different insert

           Breathe is taken from another concert      -GJC

           Original issue of this set is said to be of very high
           quality, and goes for quite high prices    -TOR

                   This beast comes in a stunning variety of packagings, including
                   one which (how original) has a box of crackers on the cover.
                   Maybe there are better sounding versions of this show around,
                   but the one I heard wasn't the best of qualities, and much
                   better 72 shows do exist. However the audience chatter and the
                   tuning up between songs,a s well as the huge explosion at theend
                   of the first set make this set worth listening too. Not the best
                   quality, but an enjoyable listen.          -GERHARD
