The Great Wall Of 1974 did not always produce great recordings. July 17, 1974 was a great show, with a great recording with clear separation and strong bass. A great job of a soundboard recording produced by the amazing Charlie Miller.
The 29 minute version of Playing In The Band is a high point of the night and is probably the best of the summer. Selland Arena in Fresno is not a very nice place. You can hear the whole concert here on the Internet Archive.
