We are please to continue our series of releases featuring material from a dedicated West Coast taper and collector who passed away a few years ago. Prior to his passing, he meticulously transferred his extensive archive onto CDR's and entrusted them to a close friend. This friend, a stalwart of the Bay Area music scene for over five decades, understands the importance of sharing these historic shows with the collector�s community.

Release #54 captures the second of two electrifying nights at the Old Waldorf. As with the previous evening, Santana delivered two performances, and this recording is most likely from the late show.

We've confirmed that our anonymous collector was actively taping in 1977, so it's highly probable that both this recording and the one from the night before originate from his master tapes.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the anonymous West Coast collector (may he rest in peace) and his motivated friend, who recognized the importance of preserving these historically significant shows before they were lost forever. A special thanks also goes to dime member �davmar77� for facilitating the connection, and to Goody, our pitch master, for his unwavering support of all our historic releases.

We also would like to thank "https://www.santanamigos.com/"; for a great website that is a wealth of research information for this release confirming the band.

Collectors, don't wait until it's too late. Together, we can ensure these invaluable archives reach all who will appreciate their magic, myself and others are here to assist...no tape left behind!
