This has been around before, usually seen as an audience recording. Actually this is a slightly subpar (hence the audience tag) FM broadcast, done by SWF3 at the time. These particular files appear to come from a rebroadcast, as the original broadcast ending has been faded in & added (in it's correct place) to the end of 'Johnny B. Goode'. 

This particular show was apparently a little riotous, & the crowd called for another encore for a full 5 minutes before being told by the Radio MC/announcer to basically shut up...that little section appears to have been edited out of the rebroadcast, hence the addition - & to ensure the tape's veracity, I've checked the setlist against the known tapes of the era, just to Make sure it is Mainz '75 & not something else... The files have also been run through Audacity, to ensure they are lossless. In itself, it's a really good show from an era when all engines were firing beautifully. The audience are up for it & the band respond in kind, a seriously good performance, definitely worth having if you don't already.
