Some years ago i received a box of master reels to transfer, all recorded in the S.F. area
in 1969 and 1970, and including a variety of artists. I think most of these are in
circulation, how widely i don't know. They were all recorded by the same taper, and these
were the original reels. Most were 5-inch spools but a few of the earliest recordings were
on 3.25-inch spools. The taper re-used tapes frequently, often recording over older shows.
Sometimes recordings were made on both sides of the tape (mono, although recorded on both
channels) and later a single channel of each side was re-used for a new one-channel recording.
Tape box and reel labels often referred to older recordings that no longer existed, and even
the accurate listings often gave no dates or venues. So there's uncertainty for many of these
regarding exact date/venue.
This one was pretty easy to date. The reel containing this recording on one side has the
NYRRE recording on the other side, narrowing the timeframe to this 4-day run of shows at
the Fillmore West. It's unknown which date of the four this is from.
Another Delaney & Bonnie show from this run is on the tracker:

That one claims to be from the 21st; if that date is correct, then this one is from one of
the other three nights, since it's a different performance from the other torrent.
