The sound quality is very good... The tape is valuable because it contains a rare extended jam on the opening song Hari's On Tour. The musicians continue to jam for a while before Harrison comes out on stage. It would later be shortened... Something is played in the slow, thumping arrangement which completely baffles the audience. But Billy Preston plays a playful and energetic version of Will It Go Round In Circles which ignites the audience. After Sue Me, Sue You Blues Harrison introduces Ravi Shankar and his part of the show. Luckily, the taper in Seattle didn't turn off the recorder as tapers in other cities have, so the entire Shankar set is captured in its glory. The audience are extremely quiet as Harrison tries to convince the audience of the music's importance. It is valuable because it is a rare performance of Jay Sri Kalij would later be dropped from the set. Cheparti receives the loudest ovation of the night for Shankar set. By the time they finish I Am Missing You the audience sound very thankful. As nice as the Indian music is, it goes on too long and tests everyone's patience. The show definitely improves with the long jam in For You Blue. Harrison introduced the band at this point before a short, "disco" version of Give Me Peace. A rare and excellent recording of the unreleased Soundstage Of The Mind is an asset for the Seattle tape. The rearrangement of In My Life follows but Harrison sings the last line "In my life, I've loved you all" instead of "I've loved God more" as he does later in the tour. The show ends with What Is Life? and the 10-minute long version of My Sweet Lord as the encore...
