I respectfully disagree that Boogie Mama’s release is definitive. The packaging is very nice and they utilize the recent audience fragment nicely but it sounds like they used Flying Disc’s Mudslide without doing anything to improve the quality of sound or correct the speed issue. The original Pb LP runs at correct speed and has clearer, more dynamic sound than the subsequent re-pressings of Mudslide. I’m not sure if any other labels (Tarantura) used a copy of Pb for their releases. I read that Genuine Master’s used a vinyl rip of Pb. I ripped my vinyl and cleaned up the surface noise and it blows away all other versions I’ve heard of this show.

Some have said it was a radio broadcast, but no record exists. The story is that the taper arrived at the venue and was able, thanks to a generous sound engineer, to plug his cassette recorder into the PA to capture the show.

I was always under the impression that this came from a radio broadcast and was the reason that it was so heavily edited.
