I got this tape from a guy in St. Louis (probably the taper, but I can't say for certain) 
in 1977 or early 1978.  It doesn't appear to circulate in digital form.  The Jerry Site lists a tape of the first set from this night, but that appears to be a different tape. 
This one has a cut for a tape flip in Knockin' on Heaven's Door and has all but the last 2 songs as the set list appears on the Jerry Site.  
The guy I got the tape from never mentioned anything missing, as far as I can recall.    

I am fairly certain of the lineage for two reasons:
a) the recording is pretty clean and high frequencies are still present
b) there are only 2 bumps at 60Hz, suggesting the master and my copy
c) side b of my first cassette has a very short stop/start between How Sweet and Harder      they Come
d) On my tape, "Harder they come" was started at the end of the second tape, but tape ran    out so it was copied again, starting from the beginning, at the start of the second       tape that was given to me.  Ordinarily, I would expect someone to have realized that 
   harder they come wouldn't make it on the tape completely as soon as the first copy was    made, and so not waste the time of copying the fragment and recopying it (this is         analog, real-time copying - why waste 10-15 minutes copying something you're going to     have to redo?).
e. I added a little equalization to the whole show.


Regardless, here's the list (divided into two disks):
_________________________________________________________________________________________

--Set 1--
101-d1t01 - Sugaree (11:35)
102-d1t02 - Catfish John (13:35)
103-d1t03 - Mystery Train (9:23)
104-d1t04 - Knockin' on Heaven's Door (16:15) (cut for tape flip)
105-d1t05 - They Love Each Other (7:35)

--Set 2--
201-d2t01 - Crowd (0:59)
202-d2t02 - Sitting Here in Limbo (13:40)
203-d2t03 - How Sweet it Is (6:44)
204-d2t04 - Harder they Come (17:47)
205-d2t05 - Russian Lullabye (9:40)
206-d2t06 - Tore up over you (9:07)
_________________________________________________________________________________________

I did the following:

1. fade-in to audience for Sugaree.
2. cut (tape stop) in audience at 0:23 (just before Sugaree); cut and faded in
3. slight gain change at :28 of Sugaree because of tape start (taper missed about 1          second of Sugaree)
4. crossfade Knockin' at approx. 8:48 in because of an unfortunate spot for a tape flip  
5. fade out at end of How Sweet It Is because of tape stop
6. Cut about 2 seconds out of audience between How Sweet It Is and Harder they Come          because of tape recorder getting up to speed.
7. Fade in of crowd section (d2, track 1), which I left as a short separate track.
8. Added gain for left and right channels for "Harder they come"  (left and Right) and       "Russian Lullabye" left only). (Started at +4dB and ended with +0 dB increase).
9. combined how sweet it is and harder they come, added a 5-second crossfade during crowd    noise, and recut (less than .03 seconds off in timing).
10.fade out at end of Tore Up Over You because of tape stop during applause
_________________________________________________________________________________________


The Jerry Site lists this as the setlist:

Set 1
1. Sugaree
2. Catfish John
3. Mystery Train
4. Knockin' on Heaven's Door (cut for tape flip)
5. They Love Each Other
6. Sitting Here in Limbo
7. How Sweet it Is

Set 2
8. Harder they Come
9. Russian Lullabye
10. Tore up over you
11. Friend of the Devil
12. Lonesome and a Long Way from Home


I would guess that TLEO is the end of the first set and that Tore Up Over You is actually the last song played that night.  I say this because there is a hard stop on the tape afterThey Love Each Other, and the crowd is louder before Sitting Here in Limbo, as if it they are getting ready for the second set, and the band sounds like it is getting ready for a second set, rather than between songs. 
 
If the show ended with Tore Up Over You, the total music time is about 2 hours, which is consistent with other shows around the same time (March, 1976). the show scheduled for the following night was cancelled due to a band illness. The revised setlist also fits with what I have on the tape, which would indicate the taper probably used 90 minute cassettes. He/She/They got the first 44 minutes, did a tape flip.  got the last 15 minutes of the 1st set, stopped the recorder, Got the first 20 minutes of the second set,switched to a new tape between How Sweet it is and Harder they Come, which allowed for the uninterrupted last 38 minutes of the show.  It could be that the second tape had a second side with FOTD and Lonesome, and that was just not recorded or not copied for me.  My second tape has Commander Cody on it for the last side, so for whatever reason, the person who traded it to me didn't have the last two songs listed.
