[note: the alternate version included in this vine utilized a noise reduction experiment dubbed "Separate Channel Noise Reduction" in which the noise (hiss) pattern of each channel was analyzed and reduced independently owing to differences in broadcast channels and tape heads. The results, though much cleaner than standard noise reduction, were not entirely satisfactory as an artifact, though minimized, can still be heard in quieter passages. The FW team voted to go with the original version.]

CommentSeveral of the shows included in this special vine offer significant upgrades to the material originally included in the Fillmore West Closing Week tree. Especially of note, are the performances of Grootna and Yogi Phlegm in which a second source has been mined to complete and restore the performances. Also included are two complete alternate versions (Stoneground and Elvin Bishop) with notes and explanations below.
