Go Ahead was a side band for Brent Mydland and Billy Kreutzmann while Jerry recovered from his coma. This tour included Alex Ligertwood and Dave Margen from Santana's band and Jerry Cortez of the Youngbloods and Jesse Colin Young. The show was recorded on the club owner's Nak and the masters were used to make the first gen copy (also dubbed on two Naks). Copies of the first gen tapes have been made for a few people over the years so the show is in limited circulation but thanks to the kindness of a few individuals it is now being spread into the digital world and despite the tape hiss from the cassette gens it sounds nice indeed.
