I think Bromberg says the band is a 13 piece band. He does introduce the players.

For some reason when I was recording this show I stopped the cassette between songs: fortunately I mostly only did it at the beginning of the show and only between songs. I've indicated where the stuff between songs was omitted with [] symbols. At about 5 minutes and 25 seconds into "Sharon" there is a very brief unexplained gap - I did a quick fade out/in to make it less abrupt.

Recorded by Easy Ed. This is not a multigenerational cassette received in trade years ago. This is my transfer from my master soundboard cassette.

The venue for this show was The Cotati Cabaret in Cotati, CA. It was a small club that held about 300 people. Cotati is a small town located about an hour north of San Francisco. This recording was made without the consent or knowledge of David Bromberg or of the management of the Cotati Cabaret.

Cotati is next to Sonoma State University, which was called Granola State University back in the days. SSU is where the great 1973 recording of Old & In The Way with Ramblin' Jack Elliott opening was made (which I and many other people have).
