Earlier this year we kicked off series of releases from a long time West Coast taper/collector that recently passed away. 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 possible upgrades.

We are pleased to offer an under-circulated show from the excellent 1973 tour.

Playing to a crowd of up to 40,000, unsurprisingly there was a lot of drug use resulting in 150 arrests and injuries to approximately 45 concert goers and 15 police.

Another excellent performance and an excellent audience capture, the show as cut short due to severe weather but it is unknown if there is much more beyond what we have here.

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.

Big thanks to Goody, our pitch master, for his continued to support of these historic releases, he does extra duty on this series of releases helping confirm the setlists and edits, extra thanks go out to him for this critical assistance!

Over the past year or so, we've unfortunately had a number of long time tapers/collectors pass on, leaving this mortal coil, fortunately many had the foresight to secure at least a portion of their archives with friends and collectors so they could be properly released and enjoyed by generations to come.

Dimers don't wait until it's too late to get those archives out into circulation, please get in touch, there are plenty of us here that can help get those out...no tape left behind!
