Tarot Music: Garcia, Lesh, Constanten, Hart, Greene

unkn cassette gen from late 70s trade > Pioneer CT-F1000 > sony pcm-r700 > sbm 44k > delta dio 2496 > cooledit200 > levels raised > shn > wav > flac

4 tracks are instrumental songs (11:22 = 1:57 + 3:52 + 1:18 + 4:14)

first song sounds like it has Jerry on pedal steel and accompanying acoustic guitar and violin and maybe more

This is not the Tarot Outtakes filler on this:

Tom Constanten site lists playings:

and has Richard Greene only on a 1970 Pacific High Recorders Tarot Demo Session which does not mention Garcia but that is how the date was chosen for this

I did internet searches and checked at losslesslegs forum if someone had more information or a copy with known lineage but none has emerged. I was not near the top of the cassette trading order, so I always expected a better version circulated. There was always at least a friend between me and whoever they got their stuff from. But maybe if this is out there now someone can top it.


The cassette was titled "Old Dead". The full cassette tape contents are:
