But you're right about problems with that 11/69 date too. I must admit that I have not yet listened to the show, but just the setlist and track times make me agree with you that they've got the date wrong again. In all the band's other shows from 11/69, "Rattlesnake Shake" was under 11 minutes long (and still less than 13 minutes in San Antonio in mid-December), and I've never heard a live recording of "Underway" until January 1970 - yet this show features a "Rattlesnake Shake/Underway" combo that's over 24 minutes long, much more like how the band was playing this number in the first few months of 1970. And I have not heard a live "World In Harmony" before mid-January 1970.
So difficulty in establishing the correct date and venue of old recordings is not only a problem with bootlegs!  |
I think the concert in question is from early April 1970, if it's from a Scandinavian country. I've seen posts with people trying to explain this to the Vault, but they seem to think this 11/69 date is valid (at least they admitted 3/69 was completely wrong). As you state, some of those songs weren't performed until the three month U.S. tour and after. "World in Harmony" is the key clue.
Update:
I think it's one of three shows: 3/28/70 Copenhagen Denmark, 3/30/70 Odense Denmark, or 4/3/70 Helsinki Finland. 4/1/70 Stockholm is ruled out because a known recording of that exists and the set-list is not the same.
