There have been several releases of this venue. Even though it was a broadcast event, live on KIOI-FM radio, Dylan's part is not audible in most cases. There is no better tape in existence. The reason is that this is not a fault of the recording, but actual problems at the show due to a faulty mic and bad mic placement. It is an interesting piece for historical value. Just don't expect to get a Dylan rush. His vocals are barely heard, if at all. The rest of the mix is sad. It's as if there were no soundman. No problem ever gets fixed throughout the entire show.
