Benefit show for A.R.T., Artists Rights Today, an organization of SF poster artists.

Huge thanks to EnXXo for this! This is his FLAC, info., etc.
He also helped me end a decade search for this recording! ;)
All I did was rename the files for L.M.A. standards. Nothing else was changed or done.

Of note, of course, is the special guest appearance of John Lee Hooker! Billy Roberts also makes a rare appearance,
 singing his own song that became a legend, "Hey Joe." Also, this is the only Gravenites Cipollina show I've seen 
 with good ol' Greg Alton (Zero, Heart Of Gold, Greggs Eggs) is drummer, making some of regular songs sound bit different.

Cipollina fans might want to check out an online vine group twith a zest of using the best known sources.
