I was wondering if anyone knows the true origins of the "9/13/78 soundcheck" recently posted on gdlive. The info file is at the end of this message.
 
To my ears, track #1 sounds like it may well be the Dead w/ Hamza doing an Ollin Arageed soundcheck on 9/13/78. It sounds the same as an old analog filler I have, which is labeled as "9/13/78 soundcheck". The remaining tracks definitely sound like live Hamza, without the Dead, perhaps the opening set to one of the 3 Dead shows (9/14-16/78) of that run.
