It was at the Trenton Speedway which is part of the New Jersey State Fairgrounds in Hamilton Township, NJ
Apparently over 60,000 attended and the concert security was completely overwhelmed, ending outdoor concerts there until the Aerosmith event August 24,1975. It was a great day.
The recording I have here is a very listenable B grade AUD, with numerous cuts, blips, bleeps, and whatnot…definitely worth having for the performance itself, but I’d love to get my hands on the remaster, if anyone out there has it!
What a show – one’s as good as the other on here. They break it wide open on Liz Reed.
