Peter Albin : bass, lead vocals on "Blind Man"

*Harold Aceves : drums on "The Dance"

This show has never been circulated until now (mid-Oct. 2005) I believe, so here it goes!

I received a CDR copy from the master tape, but it was only one track. So, I made a CDimage, then used CD Wave
to make the tracks. Then, into rename and finally into FLAC. I did no EQ'ing of this, as I like to 
seed recordings "flat", plus didn't need it as you will hear for yourself!

If you wish to a simple basic "Dinosaurs 101" show, this is it. Short and to the point, but it's a very good performance.

Dedicated to my current home of Tempe, AZ neighbor and friend, Harold Aceves. 
Thanks for letting me sit on with you and Barry Melton, truely a experience I will never forget!

  A nice sounding Dinosaurs show, be it unknown generation. I would guess just one.
  
  This is a good show to show the Saunders era of Dinosaurs rather well. 
  Highlight is the nearly 25 minute Mona where Cipollina pulls all the stops and plays some of his best of this era.

  I did no EQ'ing or editing on this, but sounds to me someone did and it's good job.  
  
  As always, this is for trade only and NOT FOR SALE!

  Cipollina fans might want to check out an online vine group that I co-run for his material with a zest of using the 
  best known sources. This site is found at groups.msn.com/cipquick
  
  Big thanks to Rich, who gave me the audio CD of this many years ago. This one is for you!
