[ * ] indicates a cut in the tape. These are not yet listed for every tape
[ / ] indicates that songs run into each other without a pause in between

QUALITY : I use the Jimpress grading system.
(E+) Excellent+, cd quality
(E) Excellent, top quality analogue source
(VG+) Very good +, vinyl, very slight noise / distortion
(VG) Very good, generally good but not professional quality
(G+) All instruments audible, some distortion
(G) Good, all instruments audible with excessive hiss, compressed sound or distortion
(R) Reasonable, fair instrument balance, but sound quality below avarage
(F) Fair, poor balance, at least one instrument inaudible, bad distortion
(P) Poor, only main instrument clearly audible (e.g. guitar or vocals), very distorted with bad hall ambience
(A) Abysmal, virtually inaudible

This list only includes clean discs, as far as I know any noises / drop-outs / cuts exist on the masters
or on all copies circulating, unless otherwise noted.

The master is lost, the taper had transferred it to a reel so this is the lowest generation available.

The Met Centre, Bloomington, Minnesota, USA?

The original cassette had no info about the Led Zeppelin recording so the date and location is very likely later guesswork based on date and location of the Hendrix recording but this seems to be the date Led Zeppelin collectors give to this tape.

The sound for the rehearsals used in the film is a different recording than this soundboard tape. The film sound was probably recorded separately by the film crew along with the other non-concert audio. It could be that this sounboard tape is complete and Ezy Ryder just wasn't recorded on multitrack.

Drums overdubbed by Mitch Mitchell at Electric Lady Studios.
Track 1 starts with a short snippet of Jimi thanking the crowd (repeated from the end of Foxy lady).
The choice of songs (the lp includes all of the tracks included in the Rainbow Bridge -movie along with others that weren't used) and the editing (the edit in "In from the storm" also appears in the movie soundtrack, the medley segment was the only part of the medley used in the movie) suggests that this lp could be lifted from the original edit of the concert film before Chuck Wein re-edited it.

Circulated in May 2006. The original cdr that this show surfaced on had clicks at every index & noises at 2.41, 2.44, 4.08, 5.19 & 6.25 in Red House, these have been repaired on this copy. Also included on the disc is an mpg-file of the 8mm film shot by Paul Wultz.
It would seem that this is not a direct digital transfer of the master, there are phase & balance fluctuations and heavy leakage in the left channel all the way through the tape while the music would seem to be mono with no channel separation to speak of. Probably a mono master was copied on another tape in "stereo", ie there's at least one analog generation in the lineage between the master tape and the cdr transfer. Also, everything above 12k is cut which probably is a sign of lossy compression, all circulating copies have this same problem.
Recorded by Jim & Bill Worthley.

First source. NOTE: This is a new transfer of the master circulated in 2000 so it's possible that the drop-outs now are on the master due to ageing of the tape. However, they weren't originally on the master since older copies of this tape don't have these drop-outs.

A tape recorded by concert organizer Tim Sievers from under the stage also exist (see UV #16) but it's not in circulation.

Wednesday 16 September 1970
A soundboard recording made by producer Jerry Goldstein supposedly exists, as well as a tape owned by War's guitar player Howard Scott. In 1998 a press release by Genesis Media Group announced that it had aquired "exclusive worldwide rights" to Scott's recording and that it would be released "this summer". Neither of these have been released or in circulation, if they do exist they might also be one and the same tape...
