Rising Arrow has released the Jan 21 1978 Budokan show before, as a 4CD set from 2 sources (The King’s Return). Listening carefully to the crowd, this certainly appears to be a 3rd source: sadly, I place it below the other two. The drums are well down in any ensemble playing, the bass is generally an undertone, and the audience is very ‘clappy’, which is distracting as it is very much to the fore. The lists described it as ‘Truly perfect sound’. Yeah: I wish. :(
