Wow, just noticed this from: http://www.billevansmusic.com/

Coming March 24th on Fantasy Records:

On A Monday Evening offers Bill Evans fans a rare treat: an unreleased (and never bootlegged!) concert recording of The Bill Evans Trio, featuring Eddie Gomez and Eliot Zigmund from Monday, November 15, 1976. Captured live at Madison, Wisconsin’s Union Theater, On A Monday Evening finds Evans at the top of his game, performing both contemporary compositions from that era, as well as his longstanding signature tunes to a packed house. New liner notes by GRAMMY Award-winning jazz historian Ashley Kahn round out the package, featuring commentary by Eddie Gomez and Eliot Zigmund.

On vinyl at music direct it says it's a Concord release ($29.99) while at amazon it says Fantasy ($23.99). Same or different pressings? From md:

"You can hear it all unfold in exquisite detail on Concord's 180g vinyl LP, which presents the program with exceptional clarity, immediacy, and perspective. Plangent Processes handled the state-of-the-art tape transfer and audio restoration. Historian Kahn penned the liner notes, which feature added insight from Gomez and Zigmund. Deluxe gatefold jacket packaging complete a release whose historical significance is trumped only by the music making within. This is not to be missed. Pull up a chair and enjoy your ticket to Union Theater. Evans and company are about to hit the stage."
 
I managed to have a listen to the first track before I left for work.

It's not audiophile quality (no surprise there), and it's in mono, but sounds like it's well worth a listen.
