Comments:

Part three of the Japan 73 recordings.  Circulated previously as the silver disc bootlegs Kill The King David and The Magician's.  This is also a complete show from this date and another very good audience recording. This one is the longest set of the three dates represented, it's clear that the band was in top form and having fun on stage.  Even if all three dates have the same set list, the shows have portions of improvisation during each that set them apart and demonstrate the strength this lineup had at that time.
