You might be interested to know that the LZ set has turned up once again on a 5CD release from Neverland Records (not heard of them before, but I think they’re an offshoot of Wendy) called the Texas Int’l Pop Festival that also includes the sets by Canned Heat, Janis Joplin, Sly Stone, TYA, ISB, Santana and Delaney & Bonnie though I don’t know if EC was with them on this particular gig. The LZ set is the familiar one used by Oh Boy in their box set release of many years ago.

It has been confirmed already. Disc three is the same source as disc two.

Weedwacker reported that there’s 3rd aud recording that clocks at 45 mins. around so either it must be a high gen of Reggie the Bullet or a new one. Confirmation is needed to clarify this case as well!

Disc #3 is a higher gen incomplete version of the “Reggie The Bullet” source. I was told this was not done on purpose to deceit collectors. There’s some other issues with this release that I believe will be mentioned soon. If the vinyl LP “Never Healed” is indeed from this show, I know many of us would like a confirmation from someone who has heard this rare album.

I never heard that LP but from what i assume the acetate was made from poor sounding source and track listing can be wrong or just not including detailed info. Many old vinyl boots have at least incomplete/incorrect track listing, sometimes mispelled also. We need much more assistance from our friends to complete database.

I wondered if disc three is the vinyl source for Never Healed. I’ve never heard the vinyl, but the timing would fit an LP (about forty minutes). However, the track listing doesn’t match. According to the excellent Led Zeppelin Database, the tracklisting is:
NEVER HEALED (IDI AMIN LZ869A-B)
Side 1: The Train Kept A Rollin’/Dazed And Confused
Side 2: How Many More Times medley incl. Suzie Q, The Hunter, The Lemon Song, All Shook Up/Communication Breakdown

Side two has a complete “How Many More Times” and “Communication Breakdown,” while disc three of TCOLZ has only half of “How Many More Times” and no “Communication Breakdown.” Thus disc three couldn’t be a transfer of the LP (unless I’m missing something).

I cannot agree with above comments in full. First, although this newest title from TCOLZ label issued one source twice, the poorer sounding transfer is very interesing because of the fact it was used on ultra rare Japanese LP acetate, “Never Healed” many years ago and its value is unquestionable for some of completists. Also the final word that this set is not definitive is not true – in fact, so called unreleased source not yet liberated anywhere is very, very possible a higher gen copy of Reggie the Bullet tape already released in their two versions on this newest release. If any new source really exists for years, it could be released almost for sure in the past and the lack of it seems to proove my own theory of being a mistake. Finally, the soundboard tape used here is an excellent and pure transfer released in the same way as Oh Boy title, recognized by many as the best sounding version of this show and so far unavailable anywhere except online auctions and private trades. All in all, I have to admit that, since maybe this not TCOLZ’s most spectacular release, it is still worth having, at least just for the fact gathering all known sources in one package and without any worries you paid for something that is worse than any of previous titles.
