A nice copy of mono soundboard recorder 1 that ends with two incomplete songs from stereo audience recorder 2.

It appears that nobody knows for certain how the soundboard recording was made and whether it was done with permission. Fillmore West shows were often recorded from the light show booth. Recorder 1 clearly has direct soundboard content and it seems to also include a room mic matrixed in.

Stratcat58’s source got his reels from a Californian contact. The cassettes were recorded with Dolby B on and I left it off for playback. My thanks to goldenband for his helpful speed correction advice. A correction of -3.7% was applied.
