For both the early show and the late show, I had to do some guess work. Both of these come from an official record, which I think is now out of print, called "Alive in America." I looked at the liner notes, and there was no mention with whatsoever about the date of the concert or even the year. Also, it just had roll the music from the early show and the late show. After I listened to it, I decided there was a pretty clear break between the early show and the late show, and it was standard procedure at the venue to have early and late shows most nights, so I broke it into an early show album and a late show album.
The left the problem of figuring out the date and year. Luckily, at one point, there a series of official releases of some songs from Ebbets Field. Four albums came out, with one song per performer. These releases are extremely hard to find, as they are also out of print, but I managed to track down copies of all of the songs. There was one song from Spheeris, "The Original Tap Dancing Kid." I compared it with the versions of that song from the early show and the late show - it was almost the only one he played in both shows - And I determined that it was the exact same performance as this one in the late show. The official album gave the exact date of that performance. So I assume that since that song is from this date, the rest of the early show and the late show are also from the same date. Further supporting that idea, some of the songs are from his 1975 album "The Dragon Is Dancing," such as "Tequila Moonlight" and "In the Misty Woods" from this late show, so 1975 makes sense for the year.
This album is 37 minutes long.

The cover image is from some point in the 1970s. I don't know any details beyond that. However, it's from the same show as the image I selected for the early show.
