There were six shows in total, early and late shows over three days, IIRC. It's all out there in good quality on bootlegs. The Ryko disc it a hodgepodge of stuff from different shows.


The tracks Ryko chose for the Live at Winterland are puzzling at best. The unreleased Winterland versions Spanish Castle Magic, Red House, Foxy Lady and Like a Rolling Stone are much better than the ones Ryko picked. EH should do a 4CD box of the best of the Winterland performances. Soundboards of all 6 shows (2 shows per night) circulate...
