Patti Smith's performance at the Boarding House, San Francisco, California, on 15 February 1976, as broadcast of FM radio. There were several versions of this circuating, which have been speed corrected, EQ'ed and edited together to create the best-sounding complete version in May 2007 - this in turn was given a going over to tweak a few remaining glitches that August.

From the notes of its creator, coyote - "Highly recommended, much of it sounds great, it's my favorite Patti recording. According to http://setlists.pattismithlogbook.info/ there were 2 shows on this date; it is unknown if this recording is from the first or the second show. This is a significant upgrade. I've remastered all of, and made fixes to, the previous (May 2007) version. Only the artwork remains the same. I prefer as little processing as possible, but while listening a million times I found more was necessary.
First version
This combines 3 incomplete sources, all from FM broadcast on KSAN -
Source 1 (~32 minutes): CDR. Excellent, I rate it "A" (in places it varies as low as "B+")
Source 2 (~2 minutes): from WAV files. Good, I rate it "B" (I grade hard and use all the letters ABCDF)
Source 3 (~22 minutes): from WAV files. OK, I rate it "B-"
Patching and remastering: WAV>Cool Edit Pro 2.1>FLAC(level 8)
Source 1 of this complete "best" version is the excellent-SQ version in circulation. It's 42 minutes long, but unfortunately the last 10 minutes are corrupted by digital noise and distortion, so here it is patched with other sources. Towards the end of the uncorrupted part of Source 1, I remastered to balance level fluctuations (for 1 minute 2 seconds starting 1 second into Louie Louie).
Source 3 is the last 22:31 (from the middle of Pumping to the end), where it sounds better than Source 2.
Source 2 (53:56) was patched by Vineland from other sources. I used Source 2 to patch numerous gaps in Source 1, mostly between songs (I'll speculate that many of these gaps might be the result of edits before the rebroadcast). The gaps are: the first 5 seconds, 5 sec @2:16, 6 sec @2:26, 5 sec @6:36, 0.2 sec patching diginoise@27:08, 14 sec @30:09, 36 sec @32:16, and 55 sec @33:05. Most of the gaps weren't obvious, including the 14 seconds@30:09 in the middle of Pale Blue Eyes. Many thanks to Vineland also for Source 2 and Source 3 (and Source 4 which was not used)!
Second version -
1. Source 1 was remastered to balance level drops, with special attention to many spots where I improved levels or the mix.
2. Both sources used for the first 6 seconds faded in; I raised the levels to 'unfade' them, fixing some noise that became audible in doing so.
3. During the talk between the first two songs, t1 between 2:48 and 3:11 the levels had jumped up too high so I lowered them to match.
4. I eliminated a half-second of overlap t6@3:11
5. I patched a glitch on Source 3 with Source 2 t12@7:01
