Radio spots?

I find it interesting that they used D'yer Ma'ker and Living Loving Maid in the ad.  Neither one was ever played live of course, but both were big on the radio in their time. 

The live Dazed at the end sounds like a bit of TSRTS but that was not released for 18 months after this ad.  Was this part of the ad or something put on at the end to go with the footage in later years? 

On another tangent, does anyone remember the drag racing ads in the early 70s that opened with "Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!"?  They were on AM radio all summer back then.  I clearly recall the Heartbreaker riff in the intro to many of those ads for drag strips in NJ, maybe even Raceway Park in Englishtown NJ, just recently closed by the way due to real estate development/restrictions.  Anyway, I know I heard the Heartbreaker intro in those ads, but I can't find it on YouTube even though there are many of the 60s and 70s old drag racing ads on YouTube.  What I cannot recall clearly enough is if the audio was really Heartbreaker or some studio band playing it.  This was AM radio so the sound was not great, and this was almost 50 years ago.   Did anyone else ever hear those ads?

Boston 1969 has a radio interview in Boston the same day or week as the shows where they talk about tickets and such I believe:

Thanks for posting that interview. Cool that the radio station already had a bootleg of the 1/25/69 show only a few months later.

Could this radio interview be the reason the tape is misdated? Just a thought

Edit: If I had to guess, I'd be led to believe this interview was conducted on 5/29. JJ refers to Jimmy as "blowing everyones socks off" (or something like that) on Tuesday Night. Tuesday would've been the 27th, Wednesday the 28th, and Thursday the 29th. Had this interview taken place on Wednesday, surely he would've said yesterday rather than Tuesday. 

 

By this logic, this radio interview occurred just hours before the group put on an epic 4 hour marathon for the first time in their career. Crazy.
