The arch bootlegger in the UK,who this time around is calling himself "buzzfledder"
The same "gentleman" has now added another interesting unauthorised bootleg CD
(actually a 2-CD set) of the aborted 1974 Massey hall recording that was abandoned after Gord had spent (I read somewhere very recently but cannot refind dammit) $20,000-$25,000 setting up the recording "session" because he was disatisfied with the sound because of a broken fingernail.

Those who are fortunate to already have this will know that it contains very nice "Live" versions of the following unreleased songs
Tennessee Stud
Pleasures of the Night
Divorce Country Style
Partners
and an earlier live Stone Cold Sober
this 1974 concert has been discussed here before at:-

Oh God the pride of man broken in the dust again
Sometimes a broken dream Will make you sad or make you mean
Lord abide, let us stem the tide Of broken dreams
