Ed Perlstein, who has archived collections by Nick Gravenites, Spencer Dryden, Steve Keyser (John Cipollinaâ€™s manager) and others, and who currently possesses John Cipollinaâ€™s personal tapes, was given the approval of Johnâ€™s sister, Antonia, to share Johnâ€™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 Johnâ€™s fans and collectors.

Comments:

- The tapes for this were dated 11-11-1983 however, during "Closer" Barry mentions that it is Abraham Lincoln's birthday and says "That's why we are here, to help you bring in Abraham Lincoln's birthday.  At first I thought that this meant that the show took place on 12th November but I now think that the use of the words "bring in" is referring to the next day being the 12th.
- On a couple of occasions Kathi refers to them as The Dinosaurs, we are not sure why as clearly there is no Robert Hunter present.
