John, let me say it for ya:
"It's in the FAQ...'

But seriously, I'd like to hear that one myself.  I have the 12
incher with Flaming Telepaths on it, but the quality isn't too hot,
I'm afraid.  There is a version of Stairway [albeit this too is ropy]
on Live '76, though I'm not sure this is an official recording.  But
since I mentioned it, and made reference to Al's fondness for
OYFooYK, it strikes me how hot Al's drumming is on both these
records.  And given the way he attacked his kit at tBS show I saw a
couple months ago, it's clear that Al really gets psyched in a
concert environment
