This show is already on the tracker, but the seed needs to be fixed because of incorrect track split and, most importantly, it does not run at the correct speed. It's a great show and one of the most important of The Mothers of Invention, so I'd like to present it according to Zappateers standards Wink

The show is marked as a B- on FZShows, but I would rate it slightly better. It's very hissy and muffled in places, but the loud sections sound quite clear. I think a B is more fair or, at least, a B/B- for the quieter parts. Considering this is a 1969 audience recording, I don't think it's bad at all. The taper was just overzealous in hiding the recorder.

Lineage is a bit patchy but it sounds ok to my ears, but there are some CDR glitches in one section. As mentioned, the speed is incorrect, but at least it seems to be linear. Suggested speed correction: -100 cts.

I also have a T (T32) version in my collection. Hissy, but pretty clear. I'm afraid it's eq-ed though.
If you wanna hear it, just whistle

from info file:
Frank Zappa 1969-06-06 Royal Albert Hall London England (T-32)

This release is sourced from cassette tapes that I got in trade in the mid 70's. I got it from UG at ZARK (Zappa Archives). It's an audience recording.

Still waiting for the Jon Naurin collection to arrive here but hasn't wanted to force anything since he's suffering badly from his sickness. But maybe there's a better copy luring there...

So sorry to hear Jon is suffering. Such a terrible thing. I hope he gets to a state of comfort soon.
