Taper Notes:
View Notes* 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. Recorded with the permission of (at least some of) The Dinosaurs. John Cipollina - Guitar Barry Melton - Guitar Spencer Dryden - Drums Peter Albin - Bass Robert Hunter is not present in this recording. Presumably he had not joined the band yet. 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...
