This one is still sold at Dutton Vovalion as Quad SACD along with the album Booger bear on the same disc:"Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles - Live!" was in Quad?! Oh man.... know of any for sale?
I was ar that concert... the melb one as per your posted ticket. The four of us turned up so early we also watched them rehearse. We just walked right in. TD and an audience of four kids.Discussion of Tangerine Dream live in Sydney in 1975 brought up the fact that their PA was quadraphonic

The broadcast of the show was in real quad.This one is a bootleg that was long reported to be QS. The Who - Decidedly Belated Response, The 1973 North American Tour.
Sadly the recording is not encoded, in fact the channel levels aren't even balanced. The record states the following information on the sleeve,
TARKL 1961 STEREO (THIS RECORDING WILL PROVIDE A QUADRAPHONIC SOUND WHEN PLAYED ON EQUIPMENT UTILIZING THE QS MATRIX DECODING SYSTEM) Thanks to JIMMY....
That statement while deceiving was not actually a total lie, as any stereo record produces Quad surround effect when played through a decoder!
I was at the Dylan/Band concert in L.A. There was no surround setup that I remember.According to Billboard Magazine ,
The Grateful DEAD performed live in quadraphonic. Their P.A. system was set up in quadraphonic for concerts .
A very in depth and interesting article on this is found on page 44 and 52 ....November 02 ,1974.
"The Grateful Dead has the most elaborate P.A.system" .
Also same issue page 36 .....features information about live concerts. Specifically the TycoBrahe (24 in 4 out) recording mixer that the Wally Heider Remote utilized for both The Dead's last concert and The Band/Bob Dylan concerts .
(It is not mentioned if the Dylan/Band concert was in quad )
If we're talking about live surround performances, how has the Floyd not been mentioned in the first post?! Arguably the grandfathers of live surround sound performance. Live shows from 1967 thru 1981 in quad surround with only a handful of early festival dates in mono or stereo. Nearly all their solo career shows after that in surround as well. They were aggressive with it in the early days! Especially pre Dark Side. Rick had his own joystick panner sitting on one of his keyboards (which you can spot in a few old videos).
