Thank you for this post. I have been enjoying it. I have Conquistador, Unit Structures, and Student Studies, so this compliments these other titles quite nicely. But I have a question. The first track is 40:25and it starts with what sounds like the middle of a drum solo. It does not begin with the iconoclastic piano flurish on the studio album. Is this a partial track? I have been searching for information on this recording on the web and have found none. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks a lot. That dream quartet on the 69' show doesn't fail to impress.
