This circulates pretty widely and is often described as being a soundboard. Not sure about that, but it is probably the finest of the 1981 live recordings. My version came to me via a tape trade in the early 80's from a guy in Detroit, so this is from a low-gen cassette. 

This usually trades as March 1981, but I found a web site which lists a Jonathan show at Bookies on April 11, 1981, and has nothing listed for him for March. So, April 11 is probably the correct date for this.

The November 1981 partial doesn't circulate, at least to my knowledge.
