I downloaded this back in 2004, burned it to disc, then recently ripped it using EAC for archiving. If anyone has the original files, I'd be interested in receiving those.
This was presented as "The Syndrome". There was a venue called that back in 1971 (G'Dead shows, etc.), which was later called Chicago Coliseum, originally built in 1899.
I can not confirm if Free was even in the U.S. in January 1970, but when the original offer was made, some assumed it might be Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.

ORIGINAL OFFER NOTES:
Glad to see so much being shared by this great band.
Here's some more, a previously uncirculated (as far as I know) recording that was given to me by a friend back in the mid-80's. If he told me where he got it from, I do not remember, but I do know he was not the taper.
The reel sounds like it was the master, but I'm not 100% sure.
Anyway... the taper had a problem with his left channel mic, as it cuts in and out (mostly out) throughout. So I copied the right channel into the left, so what we have here is a dual channel mono.
Sound is distant & a little boomy, but all the instruments & vocAls are audible. This may be for completists...
Where "The Syndrome" is I do not know, but if I know this community we'll get it figured out. All that was written on the tape is what I used as the title of the torrent.
And one more thing, after "My Brother Jake" there is about ten seconds of "Mr. Big" which I did not include.
