Notes:
The last date of George Harrison's ill-favoured 1974 North American tour saw two shows played at Madison Square Garden on 20 December 1974. This one is the evening show, the very final show of the tour. Most of the Indian secton seems to be missing. The recording is rough at the start. Overall, it's a bit distorted, and lacks treble, but the sound is clear enough. It seems to be made by the same tapers as the afternoon show.

Some (roughly interpeted) show identifiers (free free to correct them, everyone!):
CD1, Track 1, 0:44 - Female fan shouts "yeah!", George says "Good evening New York!".

After "In my Life" (5:27) - "Thank you! God bless John, Paul and Ringo, and all the other ex, ex, ex exes!"

CD1, Track 4 4:27 "I'd like to do a song from the 'Material World' album which was all and forever in New York city."

CD2, Track 5, 4:39 "On behalf of the whole crew, everybody else ... who stepped down tonight, a proclamation from the last 15 gigs, and all them who give you people, all the people who dug it, all the people who didn't dig it, all the ones who had too much in their heads, for everybody here, this is it, this is it, God bless you all, it all come out..."
