Depends what you mean. It's my understanding that multitrack (ie, for 
possible record release) recordings were only made of the late shows. That 
said, Bill Graham made stereo recordings of many/most (?) shows at his 
venues, so it's possible recordings of the early shows were made in that 
manner.

Yes, although it is unclear how accurate those boots are. Bottle Of Red 
Wine shows up on the boots of both nights, yet it is the same performance. 
And (if memory serves) Have You Ever Loved A Woman is edited on the 10/24 
boot (as it is on the official release), yet there's another boot that has 
it unedited. It's unclear what else may be "wrong".

See above.

I don't have this, but I've got a CD-R with 4 soundboard tracks that 
*claims* to be from the early show on 10/23. I don't have the audience 
recording to compare, but one of the tracks (either Presence of the Lord 
or Litle Wing - it's been a while) is identical to one of the late shows, 
only just a bit slower. The other tracks are clearly different from either 
of the late shows, though, and Got To Get Better In A Little While has 
what sure sounds like Bill Graham announcing.

Again, see above. It seems like there's actually quite a bit that hasn't 
leaked out yet...

On a related note, Wolfgang's Vault has been playing some D&D tracks, but 
they are all from the official releases. It's unclear if they are even 
using their own tapes, or are simply playing tracks off of official 
releases and bootlegs.
