I was one of the TVTV. Producers and I edited Hard Rain with Bob. Goldsmith is correct about screening the two clips together. We ran Tambourine Man from both shows simultaneously with Sugarman in the room. It was no contest. The Florida show cut a verse to go to commercial.
Ray, the RTR "Rolling Stone" from Niagara Falls, New York was bootlegged, but it has never circulated. Go back and watch the Scorsese doc, its in there as well...very short snippet though (sorry, don't know the time stamp).
Loving this 76 review…if push comes to shove I would take Hard Rain over the 75 concerts but thats just me. If we are going to get a Bootleg release of 76 (hooray!) what odds on a Blu-Ray of both Clearwater and Hard Rain??? Pleeeze. The VHS copies circulating are such bad quality…

Hi Hudson, just seeing this, mind shooting me an email? Would love to interview you and hear more of the story! rfpadgett@gmail.com
I'm all in for "That furious 1976 sound"
Maybe the Biltmore Hotel recordings simply weren't furious enough for Bob!
Ray this is fascinating! I never knew all this and I certainly never saw the Clearwater tape in full before! Thank you!

Thus was a real treat.

I'm hoping these hints you keep dropping about a 1976 Bootleg Box Series aren't just wishful thinking...
