Notes:
-This is the first ever Dinosaurs concert, according to all the discographies I've found.
-t05 has some strange sound problems from 9:05-9:34
-I'm not entirely sure about the musicians present... I don't hear Merl and he's not introduced during t05 or t06 when everyone else is, but the show info had him listed. Also, Barry introduces Vince Delgado and Ianto(?) during the band intros. I don't know who these guys are.

Notes:
-I removed the 2 second gaps between tracks, but there's still evidence that there were cuts on the original recording to remove audience noise between songs. Only the opening of Who Makes The Moves is missing as far as I know.
-There is a volume drop on the  left channel on d1t06.


Ed Perlstein, who has archived collections by Nick Gravenites, Spencer Dryden, Steve Keyser (John Cipollina’s manager) and others, and who currently possesses John Cipollina’s personal tapes, was given the approval of John’s sister, Antonia, to share John’s live and studio outtake recordings in the interest of keeping his music alive for future generations.  Steve Keyser, who recorded most of John's live shows with several different bands while he was his manager, has allowed Ed to digitize his master cassettes, and to share them with John’s fans and collectors.

* there were some imperfections in the 17 year old (at the time of the transfers) mastertapes.  Where the beginning of a song was cut, I have put in a quick fade in (usually between 1 and 2 seconds long).  Where there were dropouts or gaps I have put in a quick fade out and fade in to make it less abrupt.  All of what was on the original master tapes aside from these fades have been included.

A scan of the flyer from the show is included.  Photos from the shows by Brian Quinn are included.

It was a thrill for me to meet Rick C. many years ago at a party thrown by mutual friends, who told me, "This is Rick, he's a taper, too".  Those were in the days before internet, in the days of tape lists and snail mails and B&Ps, and I'd often go a full year between new contacts with a fellow live music collector.

Rick C. is the person who made the master recording of "The Jam At Mickey Hart's Barn", which I tranfered and circulated in the late 90s.  He made a reel to reel copy of the recording for John Cipollina, a transfer of which also circulates, sometimes mislabeled as a soundboard.  Another fun recording Rick made was of The Rolling Stones at Winterland (1978?) where he had his mike on a pole, but was so 'altered' that he wandered around the hall, often not even facing the stage: a document of the event, perhaps, but not an audio treat...

The Old Waldorf
San Francisco, CA, USA

EX Soundboard cassette master. This show features many guests including
Country Joe McDonald, Mickey Hart, Sam Andrew, Righteous Raoul, Nicky
Hopkins, Merl Saunders, David Nelson, Harold Aceves and Mike Wilhelm.

There is a short seamless patch from an alternate 1st gen. soundboard
source at the beginning of Blindman and for the stage talk before that
song starts. (Fortunately, there were at least 2 different patches to
the soundboard for this show and I got a copy of my one cut song soon
after the show from the other source).

This is the first time that these shows have been torrented from a master
source and as you might expect, it all sounds much better than the previous versions.

early show:
disc 1 - 44:07
101 [01:00] talk and tuning
102 [06:10] Who Makes The Moves?
103 [04:03] One Way Out
104 [04:11] Got Love
105 [04:53] Only To Believe
106 [04:23] Babylon
107 [00:48] talk - Sam Andrew intro
108 [05:38] I Can't Dance [with Sam Andrew on sax]
109 [00:38] talk
110 [05:43] Promontory Rider
111 [00:19] talk - Righteous Raoul (Joshua Raoul Brody) intro
112 [06:21] Jesse James

disc 2 - 38:04
201 [00:14] talk
202 [04:15] Blindman
203 [01:07] talk
204 [06:48] Franklin's Tower >
205 [21:33] Closer [with solos]
encore:
206 [03:47] Crooked Judge [cuts in]
207 [00:20] thanks at end of early show

late Show:
disc 1 - 42:47
301 [01:41] tuning and talk
302 [07:33] Love Machine
303 [04:10] St Louis Blues
304 [00:38] talk - Nicky Hopkins intro

308 [02:37] tuning and talk - Mike Wilhelm intro
309 [04:15] Howard Hughes Blues [Mike Wilhelm vocals] >
310 [03:48] Dust My Broom
311 [04:21] Passing Thru

disc 2 - 45:46
401 [00:19] talk - Sam Andrew intro
402 [08:11] Chemical Body
403 [01:20] talk - Harold Aceves intro
404 [07:36] Mona

407 [05:52] Minglewood Blues [David Nelson lead vocals]
408 [06:31] San Francisco
409 [01:26] thanks, applause and tuning before encore
encore:
410 [04:05] Dinosaur
411 [00:16] final thanks and applause Barry Melton, John Cipollina, Robert Hunter, Peter Albin and Spencer Dryden with guests Sam Andrew, Mickey Hart, Nicky Hopkins, Country Joe McDonald, Merl Saunders, David Nelson, Harold Aceves, Mike Wilhelm and Joshua Raoul Brody [aka Righteous Raoul]. It should be noted that Sam Andrew plays alto sax and not guitar.

Lineage: Soundboard > Sony TC-D5M > Dolby B encoded TDK MA90 metal tapes.
Patch source: Same as above with an extra generation of TC-D5M > Dolbe B encoded TDK MA90
tape. (The Dolby was left off for the original transfer from the master to the 1st gen. cassette.)

2011 Transfer: Nakamichi Dragon [Dolby B decoded] > Macintosh with Digidesign AudioMedia III soundcard >
Pro Tools ("nip and tuck" edits, normalization and tracking) > AIFF > xACT (FLAC level 8 files with
sector boundaries verified).

(Note: This will easily fit onto 3 discs if the 2 shows are divided up differently.)

And finally - special thanks to John Cipollina (RIP) who helped to make this master recording possible!

Enjoy and SHARE!

Opening for the Grateful Dead on New Years Eve, the band shines greatly on this one! Many special guests make it even more appealling!

I transferred a master AUD tape, Sony UCX-S 90 Metal, for those counting. It is not mine, but recorded by a friend who gave it to me as a gift! I am sort of out of touch with this kind fellow, so I don't recall what type of mics he used for this, but the deck was a D-5.

With a little net research, I have discovered only one other source in cirrulation. According to someone that has heard them both is the other one has better sound on the instruments, but mine is better on the vocals. All in all, he gives mine a better rating, so this is the best in cirrulation.

One last note, I did no EQ'ing or editing. This is pure recording of what the twenty one year old tape sounds like. As you will hear, it is still in amazing shape!

Please enjoy and feel free to spread it far and wide!
