yes and no
it is possible to find a source of the full 2 CD bootleg audience recording (it is not as I at one time believed a spirited away/illicit copy of the aborted soundboard recording that was apparently intended to be an album release until Gord detected the effect of his broken fingernail
meanwhile read this old corfid thread

Then visit the sugarmegs website where you can see the setflist of one of the March 1974 Massey Hall concerts and listen to a streaming audio or download it as (probably) a single continuous compressed file in either wma or mp3 format (the latter is only 96MB so do not expect good enough quality to reconstitute the CDs from.
