Got this in a snail mail trade years ago. I think I'm right in saying that this is the earliest live recording of the Mahavishnu Orchestra known to exist and the setlist is interesting as, despite this being such an early show, it features a performance of "Miles Beyond" which wasn't released until the second album. And a performance of "Dream" which wasn't officially released until the live "Between Nothingness and Eternity" album, recorded almost two years after this! I've heard live performances of this track from late 1972 onwards though but no other ones as early as this. Actually, I'm not even sure that track 3 is "Dream", but it sounds quite like it so I'm assuming it's some sort of prototype version. If I'm wrong and anyone else knows what it is, please tell me. Although this is a radio broadcast the sound isn't perfect but it's still very listenable.
