Comments:

Remastered complete concert.  Partial concert tracks have been circulated on silver discs bootlegs titled Byron's Lost Poem, Time Was Gypsy Eyes and on BBC Sessions & Live.  This show marked the debut of Rock N' Roll Medley (which became a trademark on Live 73) and Lady In Black.  

The rare item here, may be Lady In Black.  Not the normal acoustic version, it starts out that way, Hensley on lead vocals and acoustic guitar, the same old rendition.  Something changes around the 5 minute mark as the crowd is doing the normal "Ah, ah, ahhhh, ah, ahhhh, ah, ah".  The band gets into the rocking mode, speeds up and up and up till (check the sound file) it provides us with a really fast version of this classic song.  Was it preformed more times in this fashion?  We have no idea yet.
