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 tape for this date was dated April 1, 1983 and labeled â€˜Barry Melton Bandâ€™ â€˜2nd Setâ€™ on Side A and â€˜2nd + 3rd Setâ€™ on Side B. The start of Side B with â€˜Working For The Ensenadaâ€™ (with a â€˜this is KSAN San Franciscoâ€™ announcement preceding a continuous set of music) appears to be a transition leading into a subsequent set. Accordingly, this has been marked as the beginning of the 3rd set. It is also possible that these are partial sets and other songs may have been played. Opening song The Dance starts abuptly and was faded in.
