Ah, forget about any other version of this show. Forget even about the nice tracks from the Omay Yad LP. Straight from a 1st Generation Reel, comparing it to the other versions around wouldn't be fair for the other releases, because this never sounded as good as it does with this version. You wont find a better version of this concert till the master reels gets transferred. And as if this wasn't enough, now we can hear Green is the Colour, Careful and Saucerful which werent available till today. It gets a bit distorted on the louder parts but it's absolutely listenable and the definition is still very good, I can live with that. Bass is really good but lacks a bit of highs, still, it has excellent brightness and definition overall. Another source with better highs would make a better difference even.
