Actually, I don't think this has ever been released on vinyl.  (It's a
CD put out by Grateful Dead Merchandising; I bought it through their WWW
site.)  You may be mistaking it for its more famous counterpart, _At
Fillmore East_, recorded and released in 1971.

It also illustrates well the difference between a warts 'n' all live
recording (a la _Fillmore East, 1970_), and a cleaned-up, selective,
assembled "live recording" (a la _At Fillmore East_, or, worse, _The
Fillmore Concerts_ [in which "live" tracks are digitally stitched
together from different shows]).

Btw, I *love* _The Fillmore Concerts_, but _Fillmore East, 1970_ is much
closer to what a real 1970 ABB gig would've sounded like to the
audience, I think.  (And rather nice, too!)

Cheers,

Paul.
