  1. The RKO Captured Live series apparently went back and forth between pressing LPs and using reel to reel tapes. I've seen this one on Ebay on reel, but never on LP...so it's almost certainly recorded from the reels.

  2. I was at this show. Had no idea it had been recorded or was available in any format. Looking forward to hearing it again after all these years!
