Soundboard recording.
This is one of the best piece of instrumental west coast music I ever heard in my life. Those are the r. for the movie "68" (the cover of the VHS is posted below), featuring Neil Young as a motorcycle vendor, and in which you have a short but fantastic live appearance of 68 band at the Golden Gate Park. The camera open on a John's guitar solo and you can see well Wilhelm and the other guys for circa 2 minutes.

Really good audience recording with some minor drops and some distortion in some points that does not bother too much. So you know, please do not post the usual boring comments about those flaws.
This is the only live appearance as 68 band and the show is great and really rare, so it worths to be heard, even if is it not perfect sounding.
