Notes:
I received these CDRs from a trader (FH) in trade around ten years ago. I stumbled upon him thanks to the help of a dime member. He did not trade very frequently but he did have quite a collection of shows that he had either taped or were first gens from the NYC area dating back to the mid-70s. Many of his shows have made their way into circulation.
Just the other day, Dime member carlygtr came forward and announced he had taped the Beacon Rainbow shows and then traded them to FH. Thank you to him for bringing a boombox (!!!) into the Beacon Theater to record this historic gig!
I know this show has been bootlegged many times, and I can’t speak for how this version compares to those already in circulation. I just wanted to offer it up to allow Rainbow fanatics to take a listen and hopefully enjoy. The sound is distant and a bit boomy. My rating is above. (My apologies for the poor tracking, but this is the way I received this show.)

Thanks to the original uploader on dimeadozen!

My Notes
I’ve shared this as I received it from Perfect Purple.
As the notes state this show was uploaded to Dime best part of 15/16 years ago.
So I would like to thank the person that originally shared it, also the taper of the show, the 1st ever Rainbow gig, and also those that have continued to share it on other torrent sites.
The SQ to my ears is 5 pushing 6/10 or VG- pushing VG
Enjoy
