Taper's Comments:
1 - HELP!! If you have any uncirculated SPIRIT shows, or better quality FM
broadcasts than what's been posted here before, please share them. If you
know anybody who has shows that fit this category that aren't on DIME, please
dub off their stuff and share it. I'm trying to write a book on SPIRIT and need
all the information I can get. I have a database of over 1500 gigs 1967-1996, and
want to find as much information as I can to add to it. If you have any memories
of where you saw SPIRIT, the more specific the better (venue, city, date, supporting
bands, etc.), I'd love to know that as well. Please leave that in the comments
section or PM me. Thank you!

2 - Show description & comments follow:
Here's John Kay & Steppenwolf on their comeback tour, trying to salvage the band's
reputation from a bogus Steppenwolf that had been touring in the previous years.
I think it worked! Great show, especially since the Palmer Brothers are on board.
I had a tape jam on the flip losing most of "Ain't Nothing Like It Used To Be", but
nothing else. Enjoy!
