We are pleased to kick off a 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.

Our second release features yet another completely uncirculated show, seems to be a trend shaping up here, from the brass powerhouse Tower Of Power captured at the legendary Old Waldorf in San Francisco.

Quality is once again very pleasing and there are appear to only be a couple of short videos circulating from this era of the band. The 21 minute version of "Knock Yourself Out" is worth the download alone.

Tower of Power played two shows a night on the 11th and 12th with The Rowans opening, unfortunately we don't know if this is the early or late show, we have included a couple of advertisements for the shows

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.

Also, a big thanks to Goody, our pitch master, for his continued to support of our historic releases.

Dimers don't wait until it's too late to get those archives out into circulation.
