This is not one of Mr. Godwin's most accurate reviews.

That "49 minute Dazed" is actually a combination of the Dallas (5/18/73)
and Bradford (1/18/73) versions.  The Dallas part runs for 28 minutes
and is very nearly complete, with just the last few seconds cut.  This
is followed without pause by 21 minutes of the Bradford version.  The
first few minutes of the Bradford version are missing.

The edit is at 28:02 on "Heart Attack" (Toasted Condor).  I don't have
"Thunder Rock" (Great Dane) any more so I am not sure whether the edit
is at an identical place, but you can't miss it once you know roughly
what to listen for.

Like the latter part of "Dazed", it's from Bradford.
