While listening to my friend's copy of Live USA I noticed
something weird. 30 seconds into HAC, I heard what sounded to me
like an extra guitar solo laid on top of the usual track. This
guitar solo (which sounds totally different from that of Dave)
lasts 45 sec, and then dissapears for the remainder of the show.
Now, I own a copy of Caught in the Crossfire, which is from the
same show (NY, July 2, 77), so I never bothered to listen to Live
USA. So this was kind of a shock/surprise to me. What I did then
was i put both of the albums into separate cd players and started
the songs simulteneously. Indeed, Caught in the Crossfire is
missing that guitar (but the "background" music is exactly
identical). Also, the vocals on Live USA start 40 seconds later!
Now I am totaly positive, that these songs come from the same
show. My guess is maybe the roio maker added this solo in while
inserting and extra chunk of the "background" music. Because
really I have not heard dave play that solo on any other show.
