From different source:
11 Meeting of the Spirits (incomplete) 12:41
(I don't remember the source & venue for this one, I think I have recorded it from an FM radio).
Notes:
This show came originally labeled as: Montreux Jazz Festival 20-Aug-72
I and others are sure this is not Montreux but in fact "Montreal Canada July 13, 1973" the opening date of the 'Between Nothingness & Eternity tour' where they recorded the live LP in New York a month later.
This used to be traded amongst collectors as "unknown USA 8/1973".
The song list is nothing like they played or even the way they played some of the songs in August 1972.
A French Canadian saying a show is "Montreal" to a non-French speaking person can easily be misunderstood to have said "Montreux" which is how I think the mistake happened.
Also circulates as Johnson Gym, Albuquerque, NM, 1-Aug-73.
Heads up before you burn this:
Track 9 repeats the first ~ 33 seconds. It starts, plays for 32.8 seconds, then there's a glitch. After the glitch it starts back at the exact same spot as the beginning of the track. Hence, a 32.882 second overlap. I used CoolEdit to remove the first portion and the glitch. If done right, it will be a sonically seamless transition from track 8 to where you pick up track 9. --> Corrected in this version!
