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.

Guests:

Notes:

- The vocals were very low in places so they have been made more prominent.
- "H-Bomb" was cut around 1:18, the rest has been patched on from an unknown soundboard and adjusted so that it is a better fit. Thanks to Ray De Costa for the soundboard.
