Ed Perlstein, who has archived collections by Nick Gravenites, Spencer Dryden, Steve Keyser (John Cipollina’s manager) and others, and who currently possesses John Cipollina’s personal tapes, was given the approval of John’s sister, Antonia, to share John’s live and studio outtake recordings in the interest of keeping his music alive for future generations. Steve Keyser, who recorded most of John's live shows with several different bands while he was his manager, has allowed Ed to digitize his master cassettes, and to share them with John’s fans and collectors.

Comments:
- Show dedicated to David Allen and Rodney Albin

Notes:

- Side 2 of tape a was damaged in one channel for the last 12:45, so the good channel was copied over making it mono.
- It was normal for them to play two sets at this time but there is no mention of a set break. It's not obvious where it was so I've decided to track it as one long set.
