Notes:

- There are a couple of small dropouts in "It Makes No Difference" around the ??? mark.  I've done what I can to repair them
- There is a tape flip after "The Weight", as a result of this the start of "Mystery Train" is missing.
- A little NR has been applied


Comments:

* with Stan Szelest - piano

"Stan Szelest was a living fountain of rock and roll piano, a one-of-a-kind player. His presence, the way he could play piano, was overwhelming. I tried to play what Stan was doing with his left hand. I wasn't stealing. I was learning. One night, Stan gave me a look while I was copying him. He stared at me with a super-conscious look in his eye - and magic! - all of a sudden I got better at doubling his left hand. He had transmitted some powerful force to me. Stan could just give it to you if he wanted."
-- Rick Danko, This Wheel's on Fire

#  with Happy And Artie Traum - guitars


This set was recorded in extreme condtions, there was a very heavy downpour throughout. Despite that this sounds great.

This set is not well circulated and it's the first time for this recording.  Even http://theband.hiof.no/ didn't have the complete setlist.


Many thanks to Floater and Keo
