I started a vine of this show almost 3 years ago. A better copy has
since become available, which I got off Zappateers. This source is
lossless (original was mp3) and the show is more complete - Details
below.
Any interest in having this go around again?

Soundboard - Pretty decent soundboard recording. Much better than the
previous upload of this from a few days ago and hopefully at the
correct pitch this time... Check out the samples to hear for yourself.

The interesting thing about this source is that it was Carlos Santana's
cassette copy. Carlos is actually a tape collector and this is from a
cassette he had since the early '70's but didn't care about anymore so
he gave it to a mutual friend who let me copy it. It turned out to be
better sound quality than any other source of this show that I've
heard. There is some tape hiss, but it's really not bad at all. There
is some crackle in the original mix in the background in a few spots
and if you listen on headphones there is a faint repetitive clicking in
some that sounds like it was introduced by a very cheap cassette
recorder in the lineage. But that can only be heard in a few entirely
quiet spots and even then only with headphones, so I think everyone
will enjoy this version. The short part that is spliced in from the
alternate source is between songs so all of the music is from the
improved copy. I'm still hoping someone can come up with an even better
version, but until that time comes this one works for me.
