The Marbal tape uploaded by LP and I (16-44 and 24-96 version) improves on What Syd Wants.

1970-07-18 Recorder 2
I saw that there is no lineage associated with this. It is likely to be reel > MD(0) > CDR(?) > FLAC.

A couple additional suggestions:
1969-04-14 Recorder 3 (Stern's sound man) - there was a recent audio-only 24/96 torrent posted of this, wasn't there? Or am I totally imagining that?
1970-04-11 New York, NY - should be "Stony Brook, NY"; the best-sounding version I've heard is the Highland boot "Trademark Moo", but it's missing a little bit of audience banter present in other tapes
1970-04-22 Port Chester, NY - such a weird case, because the big release of this show was missing the end, which was supplied later from an inferior source; there was some mysteriousness about the whole affair, IIRC
1970-06-27 - There are three recorders, I believe. One is the circulating source (not sure what the best version is), one is the audio from the Mind Your Throats DVD, and one is an uncirculating stage recording in EX quality. A snippet of the latter has been posted to the boards.
1970-09-12 - best version circulating is probably Doinker's tape, as I recall
1970-11-11 - given the recent updates about the Hannover show, I've come to suspect this is actually 1970-11-28 Saarbrucken; either way, the date is a mess, but Blokhead did a great job restoring AHM
1971-01-17 - Roundhouse show, missing date needs to be added; at the moment we only have ~6 min., but a full tape exists
1971-08-06 Hakone Aphrodite, Japan - is it confirmed that ASOS from this show is actually from 1971-08-07?
1971-09-23 Faulkner Theater, Copenhagen - wasn't this actually KB Hallen? Unfortunately a complete Rec. 2 hasn't been uploaded to the tracker, and Rec. 1 is controversial -- many people like "On Your Mark", I found it too bright/harsh and prefer a speed-corrected version of the Falkoner Teatret boot
1971-11-12 Philadelphia - my memory is that Higher Education is the best source I've heard for Rec. 1, and Philadelphia Experiment for Rec. 2, but one of those has an Echoes that's not actually from this date, and "who knows which is which" (why are Philadelphia shows always such a mess?)
1972-04-29 Philadelphia, 1973-03-24 Atlanta, 1977-03-01 Munich - might be worth noting that silent footage exists of all these, but no audio
1972-09-23 Winterland Auditorium, San Francisco, CA - only one source of this has ever emerged, right?
1972-11-15 Böblingen Rec. 3 - I'd humbly suggest my speed correction of this, though it can no doubt be improved upon with a non-32k source (EDIT: and it's also not 100% complete, of course)
1972-11-29 Poitiers - worth noting the existence of the video source; is The Devils Inside the best version?
1972-12-05 Vorst Nationaal, Brussels, Belgium - there are additional recorders/sources worth noting here, though they've been essentially obsoleted by the brilliant-sounding audience tape
1974-12-14 Colston Hall, Bristol, Somerset, England - this wonderful show is a mess to sort out, because the T source is going at the wrong speed and missing a big chunk of ACYL, and other sources that aren't missing pieces are in mono; I may address this shortly
1975-06-28 - date that needs to be added
Heh, I guess that was more than a couple. Thanks so much for all your work on this!
neonknight (referring to 1969-04-14)
That was one of my uploads. I don't know whether people rate it as being better than another older upload sourced from DVD by Bert13. I believe it to be.

The link for "1970-07-12 Soersfestival 3-Day Open Air Festival, Aachen Soerser Stadium, Aachen, Germany (Ulrich A.): The Theme from an Imaginary Western (R&D)" isn't working either - it sends me here

It needs more of the sources to surface but I think the two latter recordings you mention are likely to be from the same recorder audio-wise, and were recorded by Jack Moore.
Lots of bogus lineages go round about the full length recording that everybody has. Rolf explained the story on the forum. Any talk of master clones is nonsense. If Rolf shared the copy he obtained on DAT, which is uncertain, my impression is that the best available could be Reel>reel>DAT clone. I have a 48kHz DAT that was described as "off master", which could be an example of this.
neonknight (regarding 1970-11-11 which is probably 1970-11-28)
I think we can be confident that Rolf was correct when he suggested the date was Saarbrucken. This is a poignant example of how is passing will have an enormous impact on future research. He had such a wonderful knack for knowing the story behind recordings.
