The US and UK releases are virtually identical, with the differences shown. The US record labels have a picture design with palm trees, the UK record labels are plain with the WB logo and text only.
This 3LP set is housed in a deep single 12" sleeve, not a gatefold, and includes a 12" 12-page booklet. The rear cover shows only the list of artists who participated.
All tracks recorded live with The Band, Winterland, San Francisco, CA, 25 Nov 1976. R-0140-0143 - Bob Dylan with The Band; R-0144 - Bob Dylan with The Band and ensemble.

R-0144 I Shall Be Released
In this release the order of the concert is altered considerably from how it actually took place. The Band played a long set on their own, then a set with guests one after the other, then a shorter set on their own again. Finally Bob came on for his set with The Band, followed by the finale. Here the songs with guests other than Bob are misleadingly sequenced throughout the discs - this incorrect order was unfortunately repeated in the 2002 4CD release.
Thanks to Stuart Moore for scans of the Australian 3LP release, which also has a front sticker. Thanks to Steven Fant for scans of a Warner Bros. Music Show promo postcard with dates a radio show from that series featuring the 3LP set was broadcast in the USA over the weekend of 5-7 May 1978.
Thanks to David Burgess for scans of his copy, which has a front sticker and uses the US record label design with palm trees (also used in the CD reissues of the original set, see below). Thanks to Steven Fant for scans of the US 3LP release.
