There's nothing like a good case of "I need more shows" to jolt me out of my blogging doldrums. If you haven't seen it already, lightintoashes put out a call for some known-to-exist-but-not-digitally-circulating tapes. One taper, Simon Phillips, has very kindly uploaded copies of the songs missing from the currently circulating fileset for 9/9/74 and a never-circulated(?) patched version of 9/10/74 (the Dark Star night), neither of which are at LMA or accessible to the masses. His links expire very soon, but now that they're out there, they shouldn't be hard to find in the future. I'm happy to pass them along if anyone is reading this too late and missed them.
tbh, the extra 9/9/74 material will satisfy the completionist in you and that's about it, and the 9/10 "matrix" isn't a sbd/aud mix, but a transfer of the sbd with a few aud patches to make the show complete, including the Phil & Ned set. The true matrix will have to wait, but it's a mouth-watering proposition. 9/11/74, as you may recall, is a pretty tasty show.
EDIT: Goes to show: Charlie Miller has new transfers of all three of these shows now at LMA:

The patches are great to have, of course, and this new 9/11 transfer includes all of the Phil & Ned jam in sbd (prior versions had the first 15 min patched in from the aud tape).
Also, if you want another perspective on these shows, there's this:

Here's hoping that aud tape of 2/24/73 makes it out into the world soon, too!
