Thank you :)
OK I'm just listening to it. Can somebody fix the speed ? :-)

Quick, hopefully simple, analogy: when you watch a film, you're actually looking at between 25 and 30 still photographs whizzing by every second. This fools the human eye into seeing fluid movement.
When you listen to digital audio (i.e. a CD), you're actually hearing 44,100 'photographs', or snapshots, of audio per second. Likewise this fools the ear into hearing continuous sound. Current technology can increase this to about 192,000 snapshots per second, but 44,100 is the CD audio standard.
The 16-bit part means that each of those 44,100 snapshots is stored as a 16 digit-long binary 'word' (piece of information). Again, this resolution can currently be increased to 32-bit words (maybe even 64?), but 16 is the CD audio standard.
You can see from this that the more snapshots we use per second, coupled with longer words (think of increased decimal places or accuracy of the snapshot), the greater the resolution of the captured audio will be.
Hope that helps.
And many thanks indeed to everyone involved in getting this recording to us!

This is fantastic! A new US 1974 recording, really exciting!
Many thanks to everyone who is involved for making the share!

It's running too slow!

Perfect analogy, Stark. Whenever people say that they can't hear the difference between 16/44 and 24/96, I just think, "I guess not all ears were created equal."

But still.... why would someone not check before uploading...

Not everyone has the musician's ear and can hear such things... it's as simple as that.
Wow - thanks Ginger, you're my favourite! ;-)
Thank You !!!
It's nice to have a new recording, thanks to the sharer(!), but the quality is terrible. I can't listen to this. Then again, one shouldn't expect too much from such an old recording.

Well, you should... ! It all depends on what gear they used, where in the venue they were standing, how good the sound mix was that night, etc.
The recording from next night in Portland sounds leagues better than this. And there are audience recordings from the late 60s that sound even better than that.

Exceptions taken into account of course. But generally, I think you should not expect too much.
