One source of the show is a soundboard recording. Appears to have come from the PA mix for the audience. Vocals and drums are the loudest, just what one would expect to be amplified to match the roar of Jimi and Noel's amp stacks. Still, the guitar is plainly heard, possibly due to leakage into vocal and drum mics. The bass is present as well, though sounds rather thin and distant. A multi-day festival situation would most likely mean that they used the 'house PA' rather than their own traveling sound system - good thing for us, as they never seemed to make board tapes from their own rig. And there is a surviving audience tape (with some light crackles) of about 35 minutes that helps plug some, but not all gaps.
