As often happens looking for something else I literally stumbled upon an old live recording of one of my favourite Gordsongs Minstrel of the Dawn dressed up by the redoubtable attaremad into an ersatz "video"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NVwX7uYTyA
The video is another of attaremad's strung together videos featuring
for a change irrelevant clips of Cash, Denver, Croce and Taylor
Before I attempt to get an answer from the uploader toYouTube does anybody here have a clue where the audio recording came from. and what's more if indeed it is as attaremade claims a 1969 performance?
That is possible because it appears that the track on the (1970-issue) Sit Down Young Stranger/IYCRMM album was laid down late in 1969.

It's from the Skip Weshner recordings from 1968-1970. Can't say this is 100% accurate, but I've seen this session referenced as recorded 1969-08-09 in Los Angeles.

Many thanks Daryl and Mende for that info
I had quite forgotten that Gord had previewed that later album (IYCRMM 1970) track on Skip's 1969 show
and I see on
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=12215&highlight=weshner
that MOTD was performed on the Skip Weshner broadcast on August 9 1969
I have those tracks as lossless flac format files somewhere
from either Dime or guitars101

on which the links to the mps or flacs once stored on Mediafire and Rapidshare are now dead but there are reasonable quality (224KBPS) streaming/downloadable m3s of every track on

that page has a too small image of a CD case inlay but also has an accessible pdf with a larger version from which I have made a screenshot and stored it by posting on Facebook so that I can now display it here

Having compared the mp3 to the YouTube video version I think that Daryl is correct
Also on that bigozine page are downloadable m3s of Your Song and The Seabird Song
