Here we have a brand new Zero recording being torrented for the first time.
This was also absent from the ETREE database, until now.
The sound quality on this is very good and enjoyable.
Thanks to Nathan for recording all those years ago and sharing with us here.

Guitarist Steve Kimock and drummer Greg Anton formed Zero in the early ‘80s after playing together in Keith and Donna Godchaux’s Heart of Gold Band—a group that performed only one show before former Grateful Dead keyboardist Keith Godchaux tragically died in a car accident. After recruiting a stacked lineup of some of the Bay Area’s most revered instrumentalists, including Nicky Hopkins (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who), Vince Welnick (The Tubes, Grateful Dead), John Kahn (Jerry Garcia Band), Pete Sears (Jefferson Starship), Bobby Vega (Santana), John Cipollina (Quicksilver Messenger Service), and Martin Fierro (Quicksilver Messenger Service, Legion Of Mary) among others, Zero earned notoriety among San Francisco’s tastemakers with their improvisation-heavy performances and psychedelic takes on popular songs, helping to lay the foundation for the modern jam band scene.
