This recording is from the 2nd day. With an attendance of over 73,000 fans, the show started at high noon on Sunday, along with co-headliner The Steve Miller Band. Opening act was ex-Fleetwood Mac member Bob Welch's the Sanford-Townsend Band. Here is a pre-show write up from The Philadelphia Daily News. http://bla.fleetwoodmac.net/index.php?page=index_v2&id=524 Post-show review in Rolling Stones from a lousy critic. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/fleetwood-mac-clicks-without-nicks-19781005 Even though this is a newly surfaced recording from a 1st gen, this average to fair quality and becomes more distorted as it progresses, most likely due to a weakened battery. Recording Notes. Track 6 'Oh Daddy' has 2 drop outs @ 3:17 & 3:33. At the end of that song, there was a barely noticeable tape cut. Then the tape is missing the following 4 songs. Never Going Back Again Landslide Say You Love Me Gold Dust Woman Track 8 has some issues. There are 2 quick drop outs at the 0:20 mark right as Lindsey is getting ready to start the song. Followed by something that seems like a power outage @ 1:04. It's kind of strange, I don't know what really happened there. Later in the middle of the song there are 2 more tape cuts @ 2:15 and 3:10. After those cuts the volume had dropped dramatically. I had to raise and balance the volume to match the rest of the song. After track 8 there was the tape flip and I was able to seamlessly piece it together with no noticeable break. At the end of track 11 'Blue Letter', there is a tape stop, sounds like the batteries are dying. Track 12 'Gold Dust Woman' has a tape cut @ 6:04. I would consider this for the die-hard collectors who are looking to fill a missing gap in their collection. Regardless of the quality and missing songs, this is a brand new recording source that has never been circulated or posted. Thanks to Rich's brother for taping and thanks to Rich for the 1st gen cassette. I've added a scan of the j-card and cassette and a few additional photos inside the torrent. I'm left with 2 questions: With over 73k in attendance, why hasn't there been any other audience recordings to surface? Why wasn't this recorded and broadcast for the radio?
