Oh My God I am in shock that someone posted this on Facebook in the group Dickey Betts Fans.  I was at this show!  Only time I saw ABB in the 70's or earlier.  I've never heard ANYTHING from this show until now.  Audio is not bad at all and I'm wondering what the source was............audience cassette tape?  And FYI they were great that night..........a predominantly instrumental show.

It's an audience tape. Recorded from a hand held Sony TC-40 with built-in microphone on to Maxell UD C-90 cassettes.

Yes audio pretty good. I saw 4 shows on this tour. Their first long tour since 1973 and in 75 and 76 I believe they never did two nights in a row. Always a day or two or more between dates. 

1975 also is the first year Dickey played Goldie in the ABB. It has a great tone and was pretty much his number one until 1994 the year he moved to a Paul Reed Smith guitar. 

I may not remember correctly now but I'm almost sure Bill Stewart played congas a d percussion at the 4 shows I saw. Bill was on the back row between Butch and Jaimoe just as Marc Quinones used to be. But the last years of the band, Butch moved to the middle and Marc was to the audiences right. 

And some reports were they couldn't get all six guys to sit at the poker table at the same time for the cover of Win, Loose or Draw but here and before I see pictures of them at the poker table. The two chairs tilted against the table on the cover ard for Duane Allman and Berry Oakley.
