This is a different version of the show to this one - www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=323728

Notes:
Even more incomplete version of the show at Pacific Coliseum, Vancouver, on 2 November 1974 - the first of the 1974 North American tour. It omits "The Lord loves the One (That Loves the Lord)", "Who can see it", "Hari's on Tour", "Something", "Sue me, Sue you Blues" and "For you Blue", and Billy Preston's "Will it go round in Circles", as well as the Indian music interludes. And the song order has been jumbled up.

However, the sound quality is much better than on the previous version seeded here, with more presence and the treble not coming in and out all over the place. Unfortuately, a version of the complete show hasn't turned up. Surprisingly, George's vocals aren't hoarse at this one, the start of the tour, despite being so for much of the Dark horse album, recorded before, and the rest of the tour.

I received this one in a trade, and it was in a strange TAO format, with small gaps before each song, often with an intrusive snippet (from elsewhere) before the gap. I've edited all of these out, on occasion smoothing out transitions which were abrupt, no doubt from the tracks being out of order. The frequency analysis of Track 1 (included) looks very healthy, and shows it's not mp3-sourced.

Track 7, "Dark Horse" has a section of diginoise from 3:59 to 4:09 (?the same ubiquitous copying mistake mentioned in the review below). Not present on the other version, I tried a couple of edits, neither of them entirely satisfactory. For the first (included as "Extras - Track07 - edit.flac"), I excised each portion of static (there were about four per second), but couldn't get rid of it all, and the result was that the flow of the music was jarringly sped up. For the second (included as "Extras - Track07 - patch.flac"), I patched the same section from the BMW version, raising the levels to match - better result, but still noticeable. I've left the original in - take your pick!

Bootlegzone reviews -
"The problem of this album is the fact of inexplicable absence of "The Lord Loves the One(That Loves the Lord)" and "Who Can See It". The tracks were only performed on this unique occasion on the 74 tour. Does a vcomplee version of the show exist? I don't know..." Teran (edited to make sense in English)

"All the CD releases, this and Black Cat's "Pacific Coliseum" are incomplete (plus the Black cat release unfortunately has been corrupted by a copying mistake that seems to plague every known copy). Even Green Grape left out this show when they tackled all the other known releases from this tour. The only complete source is the double vinyl album on the Singer's Original Double Disc label, # 005. I think a remaster is in order." thewalruswasjohn

NB. The SODD (Singer's Original Double Disc) version mentioned above does not contain the two otherwise unplayed songs, let alone the full show.
