We are pleased to continu our series of releases from a long time West Coast taper/collector that passed away last year. He transferred his extensive archives to CDR years prior to his passing and then passed it to a close friend. His friend has been involved in the Bay area music scene for the last five plus decades and understands the importance of getting these historic shows out to the collector�s community. We are working closely reviewing the shows and researching current circulation as well as upgrades.

This is the final release of the Devadip Orchestra only portion of our series.

The Devadip Orchestra opened the European shows during the 1978 "Inner Secrets" tour and this is our 8th release from the tour.

As with our previous London release this one already circulates but based on our source it's at a minimum a generation upgrade and hopefully a moderate upgrade.

This show commonly circulates as December 6, however the source which is about as close as you can get the actual master listed it as December 4, 5 & 6, 1978. It's possible the actual night it was recorded between the 3 dates is unknown. We've stuck with December 6th date so there is no confusion.

There are a number of folks we are indebted to for access to this exciting new archives, the anonymous West Coast collector, may he rest in peace, his friend that had the motivation and understands the need to get these historically important shows into circulation before they were lost forever and a huge thanks to dime member �davmar77�. He did not currently have the bandwidth to facilitate such an undertaking at this time and put us in touch...this is how dime should work.

And finally, a big thanks to Goody, our pitch master, for his continued to support of all our historic releases.

Dimers don't wait until it's too late to get those archives into , we are here to assist getting your precious archives out for all to enjoy.
