After the show Mike Appel took possession of the master tape, so none of the performance was ever re-broadcast by the station. Fortunately a fan taped the entire show from their radio, although the sound
quality was weak. Although this audience audio had been in circulation since the mid-1970s it had never appeared on any mainstream bootleg, exception for the track “You Mean So Much To Me”, which first surfaced
on the 1976 vinyl LP boot 'Resurrected' in poor quality. This later appeared in better quality on the CD "Radio Waves" (Great Dane) The entire fan-recorded version is now available on a custom CDR boot entitled
"Strictly Prohibited". A low generation copy of the entire original master tape (noted above) first surfaced (in very limited hands) in the early 1990s. Then the recording of the track "You Mean So Much To Me" from
this source emerged on the 1998 boot ‘Deep Down In The Vaults' (E Street Records) and in 1999 on ‘Missing Tracks, Vol One' (Thrill Hill). The complete master tape in perfect sound quality finally emerged into the
wider collector community in early 2007, and is available on CD 'On The Road Night' (Crystal Cat), tracks 8-13.
