Many Dregs collectors have had this show for years of mostly unknown lineage.
I was always frustrated with the quality I would run across in the tape trading
circles back in the day.
Living in Tucson and knowing folks in the recording industry, I went on a hunt.
I knew someone had to have a master cassette from the FM broadcast or maybe a
pre-FM master.
I contacted some folks who worked for KWFM, Lee Furr, the owner of the studio
and various engineers who worked there, spending months making phone calls and
following up on any lead I could find. Many were dead ends.
When one day, making a phone call to an engineer who worked at Lee's studio and
was now working for the local PBS affiliate I explained what I was looking for
and if he might have a lead. Wow he said, I have the tape right here!
I offered to buy him lunch at a restaurant of his choice if he would let me borrow
the tape for a few days.
I dropped by his office and picked up the reel and quickly transferred it to the
only decks I had available at the time which was two Sony beta Hi-Fi VCR's and
one VHS Hi-Fi VCR.

The first song on the master reel was cut and did not contain the interview that
as I recall was played in the middle of the live FM performance.
I used the first 33 seconds from my best FM cassette source and spliced it into
the master reel version. I also used the FM Cassette source for the interview.

So sit back and enjoy this absolutly stunningly clear version of the Dixie Dregs
first Tucson Show!
