Wallingford CT
September 23, 1975
(Small indoor audience, radio station/studio. Thirteen songs: Get Like You Used to Be, Station Man, Spare Me a Little, Rhiannon, Why, Landslide, Over My Head, I'm So Afraid, Oh Well, Green Manalishi, World Turning, Blue Letter, Hypnotized)
The former might be from the Capitol Theatre in Passaic NJ (326 Monroe Street), where the band played on October 17, 1975. But what little decent evidence there is suggests it's the outdoor show in New Haven. However, Don't Let Me Down Again from the 1980 "Live" LP might be from the Capitol since the sleeve says "Passaic."
The Wallingford recording definitely predates the King Biscuit recording -- you can hear it in the arrangements (Rhiannon, for example). Wallingford is a lot more similar to the Landover show on video, which is probably from October 5, 1975 (twelve days earlier). The South Orange NJ audience recording falls in that time frame as well: October 13 -- eight days after the Landover video & four days before Passaic. You can hear lots of similarities in arrangements among this small cluster of late-September/early-October shows, whereas the King Biscuit & the Wake Forest University shows sound more evolved in terms of arrangements.
Caveat emptor, Sugah!
