We are pleased 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.

Out latest release is a special show in our series, beautiful quality in an intimate 1500 seat setting and to top it off Super Boogie and the following Blues Jam features Buddy Guy.

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 on pitch as well as the occasional wow & flutter fix.

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

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!

Artwork is included.
