Comments:

A few changes in the set list appear on this date.  First, Traveller In Time is no longer included, then we get the only abbreviated teaser of Magician's Birthday we've came across other then what is official on Live 73 from this lineup.  We find this strange since we have shows ranging from January through March that are complete, yet it never appears in the set list till now in June. 

Lady In Black is the closing encore, the version which speeds up like at the Munster 72 concert, we wonder if this was just a German special since it isn't found anywhere else.  Plus this is a major set change, but due the popularity of the song in their country we think that may provide the explanation, either that or someone tampered with the original source tape.  

We also start looking more into the between song talk taking place, the openings and intro for each song are also interesting to note.
