2CD Band bootleg released on the Wild Wolf label in 2000, with tracks from 1971 live recordings and rehearsal tapes. All previously unreleased/ uncirculated according to this "ad" for the CDs:

Incredible 33-track, superb quality from master reel sources. Another fab Wild Wolf set with 25 previously unreleased/uncirculating performances from the NY City, Academy of Music, December 28-31, 1971/72 gigs that spawned Rock of Ages - but no overlap with that one. Plus a terrific 8-song rehearsal from UltraSonic Studios, Long Island, in Dec 1971, also uncirculating & in primo sound.
Beautifully dressed up color glossy set w/vintage Band pics (6) spread throughout a 3-panel gatefold paper sleeve and classic color live shot from the Academy on back cover. Disks are 24K gold plated, audiophile design, with black/gold song titles on disk. An absolute knockout 155+ minutes and an instant Hall-of-Famer.

According to collectors, the CDs are of excellent quality. However, as usual, the track list is somewhat off. On Disk 1, track 17 is both track 17 and 18. There is no gap or track number change between tracks. On Disk 2, tracks 3 is both 3 and 4. The rest of the tracks are then off by one. Also, a hidden track appears: The last track on disk 2 is "Crash On The Levee" with Bob Dylan .
