LB-note on LB-2716, (67min+79min), TRIPLE-TURBO REMASTERED; Torrented at Dylantree.com, "2nd transfer", Includes sets by Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, and Roger McGuinn., This stereo recording was discovered just a few years ago by "A1Pump" (not his real name) who very kindly lent me the cassette he received. This second transfer is somewhat better than the earlier transfer (which was promptly bootlegged). It includes a rare performance of "Fourth Time Around"; bit torrent download 05/05; very good to excellent sound [B+]. A little hiss (a close EAC match was bit torrented 7/06 described as "2nd transfer - Lowgen")

Bob Talks:
Here's an autobiographical song for ya. (before It Takes A Lot To Laugh. It Takes A Train To Cry)
Here's a true story, could happen to anybody. It's called Isis. I wanna dedicate this to Keith Richards.
I wanna say hello to Rusty. Rusty are you there? OK. (before Simple Twist Of Fate)
How about a hand for Luther Rix, Howie Wyeth, Rob Stoner and Scarlet Rivera ... Mr. Soles playing on that ... he'll be greatly honored I hope ... gonna do a song about a man who is in jail right now in New Jersey. (before Hurricane)
