Easy Ed's Notes: | |
- | recorded by Rick C. |
- | matrix mix of soundboard and Sony ECM-989 stereo microphone > Sony PCM F-1 (Beta, 44.056kHz, 16 bit digital recording) |
- |
transfered to cdr by Easy Ed * from Rick C's loaned PCM Beta tapes: Sony PCM-F1 analog out > Sony DTC-700 (A>D only, no tape) > optical digital out > Zefiro ZA2 soundcard > Sound Forge > CD Architect > Phillips Omniwriter cdr. EAC from Easy Ed's cdrs > .wav > FLAC level 8 encoding, aligned on sector boundaries * 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. |
- | 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... |

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. |

- | 09-17 and 09-18 have identical setlists for early & late shows, but different guests sitting in. |
- | this is the show from the 17th, announcer greets the audience "...see you tomorrow..." at end of early show |
- | imo the already circulating sbd tape from 09-17 is actually 09-18. |

Got this one with a box of Cipollina sbd's back in the late 80's from head now deceased. I am hoping to go through them and weed out some lesser traded shows. This one seems to be relatively obscure.... I think! It features a host of local talent for Marin county at the time, and maybe contains a few more players than listed.... who's on sax? The capture is pretty clean, with a minor glitch on track one. They probably played longer, as the weird dissolving jam on Mona testifies. My tape listed this as the 2nd, but research proved otherwise. |

Opening for the Grateful Dead.
"'Level With Me' cuts in with only the first few seconds missing (tape flip)
This AUD master tape is owned by me, but I didn't record the show. Before me, it [was] owned by Jeff S. Recently, Jeff said this wasn't one of his own recordings, but he picked it up at a flea market just a few weeks after the show! He transferred the tape to his own CDR for his private collection, then gave it to me as a gift! One has to believe there is a SBD of this show as well, although it never has appeared.
I did no EQ'ing or editing on this. This is a 'pure' recording of what the twenty one year old tape sounds like. As you will hear, it is still in amazing shape! As always, this is for trade only and NOT FOR SALE!
This FLAC was premiered on CipQuick, an online group specializing in John Cipollina recordings, with a zest of using the best known sources. You are welcome to check us [out] at... http://groups.msn.com/CipQuick
Endless thanks to Jeff S. for the source tape! This is for you!"

"This tape (see below) came to me from the girlfriend of the person who promoted the Dinosaurs 7/16/83 performance in Seattle, WA: https://etreedb.org/lookup_show.php?shows_key=82063" |
"According to him, this tape was made by the band and distributed to local radio stations to promote the performance. The "Not for Air Play" wording doesn't support that explanation, though. More importantly, if the promoter had made these tapes, either at the show or otherwise, I believe he would have told me. When he says that the band made the tape, I tend to believe that's accurate." |

Charlie Kaiser has recently given us access to his soundboard masters. He was the Front Of House soundman and recording engineer for virtually all of John's bands from about 1983 until his passing. This included Thunder and Lightning, Dinosaurs, Terry and The Pirates, Problem Child, and any of the spinoff bands |

- | "We Shall Be So Free" - song title taken from j-card |
- | According to a comment on the LMA recording: "jmci - January 23, 2010 Subject: Confirmed: Skip Spence I met and talked with Skip at this show and have a photo of him playing. He borrowed Barry's guitar and Barry watched Skip like a hawk during his song. He may have done another song also, but I'm not certain. This song's title could be "Fall For Me" or "You'll Fall For Me."" |

- | (2) - someone says "right now we've got Michael Dijon sitting in with us, playing guitar". The next track is sung by a different person, who sounds a lot like Mike Wilhelm to me |

- | A few tracks might have been normalized, so I de-amplified them to make them the same volume as the rest of the tracks. |
- | sound levels fluctuate a bunch during Reelin And A-Pitchin as the soundmen fix things. The mix is much better by Love, perfect by set 2. |

John Cipollina The Official Archive Series 55, released September 8, 2024.
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. |
Charlie Kaiser has recently given us access to his soundboard masters. He was the Front Of House soundman and recording engineer for virtually all of John's bands from about 1983 until his passing. This included Thunder and Lightning, Dinosaurs, Terry and The Pirates, Problem Child, and any of the spinoff bands. |

Dinosaur Diner Notes Impossible to insulate. Insidious to assimilate. Sinking a great red battleaxe into a long cold dusk. Born in the jungle at the dawn of time like Gertrude Stein singing: a rose is a rose through a hot black swamp and nothing to do but climb. Concluding at the beginning in brash Cipollina sweeps where soft is loud and loud a celebration of pain in grave gray garterbelts of insidious precision: a strumpet midnight song. Meltonian metabolics of sweat-soaked ecstatics stab blindly at shadows where drips of chloroform anaesthetise the generation he grew brave on. Merl, breathing a foam flecked sigh, carries a sackful of splintered guitars to the edge of the battleground with a taste of blood in his eyes. There are diminished chords but none is really lost. Peter flattened a sack of sheltered potatoes and twisted their sickly skins into strings. In the hot lights they snap sometimes in rhyme. We wait for it with relish knowing that it is OUR mother not another's, who runs screaming through these jungles of our better times. Into the breech, dressed in a sackcloth sail, spins Spencer Victorious, with eyes of broken bottletops slapped between two slices of rye and commanded to be a sandwich. Lend him your teeth. Stick this record in your ear and wallow, you humping cowards; unpeel
a ten spot from your greasy roll and slap it on the counter while the
fit is on you. It will atone for many crimes. We love you. Robert Hunter
[Notes from CD booklet] DINOSAURS, music's most authentic tribute to the legendary San Francisco
blues-rock era of the sixties, first performed in August of 1982. From
the beginning their spontaneous, unrehearsed, "music for the fun of it"
style has maintained a tradition virtually extinct on today's musical
landscape. "Hell no," replied Barry Melton when a voice from the audience asked if his group knew some current tune. "We're just a bunch of old dinosaurs." This happened back in 1982 during a gig at Russian river to the north of San Francisco. Melton's vibrant guitar lines were once the essence of Country Joe and the Fish, but here they were leading a trio of himself, Peter Albin and Spencer Dryden, one of the many collectives working around the Bay Area. The 'Spirit of '67': of a freer music, uncompilated by commercial pressure, is retained in these often temporary arrangements where musicians are free to cross from one to the next with enjoyment the abiding benchmark. One such aggregation had Melton and Albin performing as a duo. They'd already worked togther in a version of the Fish which punctuated Peter's time in Big Brother and the Holding Company, who'd split when Janis Joplin left and reformed when they'd found a new confidence. The Russian River gig required a drummer and initially Barry had approached Greg Dewey, another ex-Fish and one-time member of Mad River. He sadly took ill, but a replacement was found in Spencer Dryden, once of Jefferson Airplane and latterly drummer, then manager of the New Riders of the Purple Sage. Dryden and Melton knew each other from San Francisco's rich past, but were more recently involved with the Freedom Foundation, an organisation for prisoners' right. The trio's gig was a success; there was clearly both an empathy and a demand for their evocative style. By coincidence, the group was representing part of the West Coast's golden age, each having played in a seminal unit. Perhaps there was room for expansion. Guitarist John Cipollina was an obvious addition. The soul of Quicksilver Messenegr Service, his nomadic path through Copperhead, Terry and the Pirates and Raven had established him as a musical Paladin, drifting from band to band, firing them up with his distinctive sound. The last to arrive was Robert Hunter, lyricist to the Grateful Dead and a songwriter and performer of some stature. Hunter only stayed a couple of years, but the Dead connection remained in organist Merl Saunders who came in to replace him. During the early 1970s Saunders had recorded with Jerry Garcia and had occasionally fleshed out parts of the parent group's performances, guesting on part of their "Skull and Roses" double. The Dinosaurs, who's assumed their names from Melton's off-hand quip, are still nt a full-time commitment. Peter Albin is an executive in a Bay Area company and works with the reactivated Big Brother - himself, Sam Andrews, James Gurley, David Getz and newcomer Michelle Bastain. Merl Saunders scored TV productions, notably the new versions of "The Twilight Zone", which has also featured various SF alumni, including John Cipollina who can be found in Zero, Thunder and Lightning (with Nick Gravenites), the Rainbow All Stars (the Dinosaurs without Melton but with Greg Douglass and others) of Fish Stew (with Barry and the bassist from Thunder and Lightning). "I'm currently in and out of six bands," he told Relix magazine in June this year, before running through which group he'd be touring with for the next few nights. Barry Melton is a practising attorney, while Spencer Dryden's "into all kinds of things." Yet none of this deflects from the power of the group. Much has been said of their resurrection shuffle and how the ghosts of their various pasts appear in the sound. But while moments of Fish and Quicksilver magic flit in and around the songs, exciting diversions and new possibilities emerge from the various combinations. Both are clear on this CD. The Dinosaurs' seemed way off this final
commitment, fearful of losing something of their original spontanei.
Yet for those unable to catch their vibrant performances, this is a
fine alternative, from the live workouts of 'Mona...' and 'Do I
Move You', both extended to flex Dinosaur muscle and in particular
the stinging guitarists, to the haunting 'Who Makes The Moves'.
Featuring special guest Robert Hunter, it closes an evocative collection,
summation of individuals and an era. As much as the Kelly and Kelly/Tuten
posters designed to promote their concerts, the Dinosaurs both recreate
the past and suggest what's happened since. That way their music stays
alive and something lost has thankfully been regained. Brian Hogg: August 1988

Although the band Dinosaurs acquired its name from
an off-the-cuff remark by Barry "The Fish" Melton at
an early gig when he responded to an audience request
as to whether they knew a specific song by saying
"No, we're just a bunch of old Dinosaurs," it was to
become a special band for Melton and fellow members.
It was also special to a devoted cult following of fans
and actually deserves more than a cursory mention
when reviewing the history of Bay Area music. In fact,
the band would in many ways redefine what was so
special about music from the Bay Area - spontaneity,
honesty and a no-nonsense approach. In essence it
was a fun band. Remember, the band flourished mostly
during the stoic synthesizer drenched 80's, which was
hardly one of music's better decades. True, they left
behind only one solitary album but they were a band of
the moment and very much an experience to be enjoyed
live as anyone that saw them will certainly testify.
By the time the band played the 50th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge, Melton recalls, "People started actually looking at us as some kind of civic representation." Further explaining, "It really was the best band I was in and that's no bullshit. We had a philosophy that if we weren't doing it for fun we shouldn't be doing it. It wasn't a serious project. When it got to resembling work, we stopped doing it, and that wasn't until much later, after Papa John died. Then it was a feeling of we're doing this for a living or to make money. It was like we were forcing it and it is not that we didn't take some terrific guys out on the road with us. We took Jerry Miller and David LaFlamme, and I always loved playing with both of them." It's no wonder that Melton recalls the band as the best he was in, it contained members from the cream of 60s Bay Area bands; Spencer Dryden from Jefferson Airplane and the New Riders of the Purple Sage, Peter Albin from Big Brother and the Holding Compnay, John Cipollina from Quicksilver Messenger Service. Initially Robert Hunter was the Grateful Dead connection and after about two years he was replaced by Merl Saunders. When Cipollina passed away in 1989 Papa John Creach, who is also now deceased joined the ranks, and as Melton mentioned both Jerry Miller (Moby Grape) and David LaFlamme (It's a Beautiful Day) played with them for a short period of time. Like many of the good things in life, the band formed pretty much by accident in July 1982. Dinosaurs played around 130 shows until they called it quits in June of 1996. Melton and Albin had known each other for many years and still play together on a regular basis. In fact, all the members had many years of high profile experience, but more than that they didn't bring an attitude with them. Melton recalls the early days, "I was on the board of directors of this organization called The Freedom Foundation which met inside the San Quentin State Prison. The chairman of the organization was this guy called Dennis Jones who was doing life for three counts of conspiracy to commit murder - he is out now. Well, he was promoting concerts at the time, and Spencer was also on the board of directors along with Norton Buffalo. Peter and I had a trio and we booked ourselves a gig on the Russian River, this was 1982 and our drummer fell out, so I asked Spencer if he still played as he'd been half managing the New Riders. He said sure." It was at this show that the "Dinosaur" quip came and afterwards they decided that what they had was probably part of some bigger idea or concept. "When we got back we called Cipollina to see what he was doing." John, of course was in a half dozen bands at the time and as Melton jokingly remembers "The offer to be in another band was more than attractive to him, so he joined up." By the time they played their second gig things were beginning to take shape. "We booked ourselves as a quartet and we called ourselves Dinosaurs, just Dinosaurs. There never was a "the" in front of the name." Manager Steve Keyser elaborates "Barry pointed out that there were a lot of Dinosaurs and it would be very presumptuous to say that they were "The Dinosaurs." There were many other Dinosaurs, and one of the nice things about about their live shows was they would do whatever they could to get other "Dinosaurs" to sit in, which happened a lot." In fact, it happened right from the first show! Melton takes up the story again. "I wrote up a press release for a gig at the Old Waldorf, Alton Kelly did up a poster. "We did it the old way. We went through the city and distributed the posters and the first night we played tons of people showed up. It sold out. A lot of our musical contemporaries showed up, Bob Hunter among them. Garcia was there but didn't play. Hunter jumps up on stage and starts playing harmonica." Hunter ended up hanging around after the show and one thing led to another and he joined the band. Melton, Cipollina, Dryden, Albin and Hunter were the first official line-up of the band. "It lasted about a year and it was really kind of successful on a local level" says Melton adding "I don't know if we wanted to do anything with it or not. We played LA, Phoenix, Denver, Santa Fe, Portland, and Seattle." The band did actually make one or two forays to the East Coast but as Albin remembers "We didn't play that much really. There were so many off-shoot bands. Spencer didn't want to play unless it was an "event". he wanted to make it a special kind of thing every time we played. By 1987 Big Brother had gotten together so there was a bit of a conflict sometimes." Dinosaurs played mostly small theaters amd larger clubs but outside of the Bay Area they didn't really have that big a draw which made it difficult. "We had the one album on Relix" recalls Albin. "They didn't promote it and neither did we." Melton, however sees it a little differently, "It was harder for us to play a lot because we decided to do the posters, the light shows and all that other good stuff which was kind of smart." But of course, concurrently there were off-shoot bands, Fish and Chip, The Melton, Cipollina, Saunders Band that tended to play smaller clubs. They also played with a variety of other folks including Novato Frank, and of course Cipollina was in Terry and the Pirates (another much underrated band) and the early configuration of jam favorites Zero, as well as Problem Child, San Francisco All-Stars and Thunder & Lightning. But despite some minor gripes the reality was Dinosaurs, as Melton explains "was never meant to be a commercial enterprise" and on that level one simply cannot argue with their level of success! Keyser concludes "The whole idea of the band was for it to be music of the moment... to play what you feel at that moment which is why they got into some long extended jams. It didn't have the polish that some other bands had but it had more of a warmth and feeling of what was going on at the time. I regret that they didn't get a bit more exposure and recognition for what they did. They were unique in that they represented that 1965 to 1972 classic San Francisco era as good as or better than any other band in as much as they were an amalgamation of players." Keyser did, however, understand their philosophy "They clearly were not a commercial project, it was just music for the love of it. It was never about the money, it was never about success which is a bit frustrating to me as a manager, but I understood and went along with it." One might reasonably argue that the band was a true jamband long before the phrase had ever been coined as it was always five or six musicians from various bands jamming. Keyser further states, "They loved the music and up until John died they were playing the same music" says Keyser. Of course, that low-key aspect in the end was somewhat detrimental as Albin reflects, "When we first started as Dinosaurs we definitely had a following with Dead Heads but when they realized we were playing the same songs over and over again they stopped coming. We did the same set all the time. Barry didn't want to do a set list, he refused saying that every audience was different and that he had to feel out the audience and then pick the song, well he picked the same songs all the time! We only rehearsed about twice and with Bob Hunter we really needed to rehearse. Sometimes on stage with Hunter he would start a song that we that we had never heard. He wouldn't even say what key it was in, what the tempo was or the feel was. He would just start a song and just go for it. In a way I liked that kind of concept but for putting out recordings it just didn't work." Of course, the band suffered a major tragedy when John Cipollina passed away in 1989. John with his tenacious and wild playing was a huge part of their sound. Initially Melton recalled that they felt like packing it in. "When John died I was devastated" he recalls, "John and I were really tight. We had Fish and Chip, Fish Stu, The Melton, Cipollina, Saunders Band, we played with Novato Frank. After John died we didn't play any dates for a while and then Merl said 'I'm really tight with Papa John Creach, why don't we book a date and try it.' I remember we had some rehearsals at Merl's and it changed it, and it didn't change it because Papa John was just as much a madman wailing away on the violin as John was on guitar. It was neat having him in the band... what an incredibly up guy, a really nice man and his wife Gretchen was a really nice person. It was special and it was a replacement that [the] audience immediately accepted, not that there could ever be a replacement for John, but lets face it there was no denying John Creach was a dinosaur!" And even though the dynamic of the band changed with the arrival [of] Papa John the spirit and vibe was intact and they continued to make some great music until, sadly, Papa John passed on and some of that music is represented on this set. Many fans and members of the band felt that the lone album they recorded, presented here as disc one never quite captured the true power and intensity of the band. Melton went as far as saying "There's a Dinosaurs bootleg that was better than the album we recorded." Even though most of these comments are true there's still some good material on the disc. Hunter had already left the band but he returned to the fold to contribute to the stunning "Who Makes the Moves?" and "Resurrection Rag." Melton's arrangement of the traditional "Butcher's Boy" is also notable as are the two live tracks, the slow burning soul grooves of Merl Saunders singing Nina Simone's "Do I Move you" and the blistering "Mona" which focusses on the interplay between Cipollina and Melton. In this reissue package the original album is bolstered by two previously unreleased tracks which are outtakes from the original sessions. Both are by the late Cipollina, "Honky Tonk Jekyll and Hyde," a song that John played in a number of his "many" bands and the quirky "Overnight" which offers a glimpse at John's oddball perhaps twisted sense of humor. The title of the set "Friends of Extinction" is also the original title that Cipollina had wanted to use. Out of respect for the original producers of the album, neither of whom could voice their opinions at the time of this reissue, John obviously because he is sadly no longer with us and Merl because he is unable to speak due to having suffered from a stroke, the original running order of the album is left intact, although Melton did eventually concur that my take of switching "Who Makes the Moves?" and "Lay Back Baby" was probably a better choice. "You're probably more right on that as we used to open the shows with "Who Makes the Moves?"" Dryden remembers that he wanted to do a live album in its entirety but it was a struggle getting just the two tracks on the album. He says, "There were two track board tapes that I felt were more representative of the band than the album. There were just all kinds of good stuff that we could have used." Albin says "the studio recording we did was okay but we were better live." Of course, given the band's lack of commercial aspirations when it came time to to do a record, funds were limited. Almost everyone in retrospect agrees with Dryden's idea that they should have recorded the entire thing live. Melton says "We made a half serious attempt because we figured we didn't really have enough money to make a really good record. Merl and John produced it because the rest of us had other stuff we had to do." Disc two of this set is here to support the theory that the band was better enjoyed in a live format. It is a previously unreleased collection of concert material that's intended to give a cross-section of music that the band made covering the different line-ups and members. It features contributions from all the key members, as well as a few guests. These tracks were culled from many performances and have been chosen based on performance and sound quality. There were some other great performances that truly reflect the band's stature as a live unit, but due to uneven mixes, tuning and other technical glitches they were unable to be used. Sure, even here there are a few warts but there's also some superb music that captures the essence and spirit of the band. "I'm pretty excited about the release," says Melton adding "it contains some of my best ever guitar playing." In fact the jam-heavy tracks such as "The Dance" and "Closer" really are testaments to that fact. The latter in typical fashion finds Robbie Hoddinott of Kingfish wandering onstage midway through and adding a third guitar to the sonic onslaught of Cipollina and Melton. And yes, there's the majestic Papa John fiddle work on the mellower "I Can't Get Started With You," and Kathi McDonald's ballsy duet with Pete Albin on the Big Brother chestnut "Blind Man". These two discs serve to remind one that Dinosaurs despite not being a commercial enterprise made some great music that as Keyser said in many ways exemplifies the classic San Francisco sound as good as or better than anyone else. Enjoy! |

I [johnieappel] recorded this show and hit pause between some of the songs. It is not to bad but there are some cut ins and cut outs. I tried to smooth things
out with out doing too much editing. The master tape got trashed years ago & I made a copy, so everything up to Mona is 2nd gen. cassette. Mona & Mojo
Navigator are from the master. (tape II didn’t get trashed) |
Awesome show with David LaFlame throughout. If anyone has a SBD copy or another better audience, please share it! Enjoy what we have here, it is a very good, decent sounding recording. |

Notes: | |
- | Minus the beginning of "Midnight Special" missing, this is probably the complete show. |
- | Beginning of recording has some mixing (of which I lowered the first 2 seconds by 50% to not blow your speakers out!) going on. These are on the master recording. |
- | Rest of original volume of show was set very low on this, so I gave it a boost. |
- | The tracking was done before was poor. I edited by removing dead spaces and making better track markers. |
- | Tape flip (master?) in the middle of 'The Dance' (44:41 of total time), where about 8 seconds was removed. |
- | "Lovely Night For Dancing" is known sometimes as "Get Up And Dance", and was performed by Reconstruction (Garcia, Saunders and others); but "Lovely Night..." is it's true title. |
- | There was no EQ'ing or remastering done. |
My friend, Rosannah, wrote about this very show a few years back. The following is her comments & review...
"The Dinosaurs at the Berkeley Veteran's Auditorium was a benefit for the Dinosaurs' roadie, Kevyn Clark.. I still have my ticket (#121), it says "A Benefit to Free the Madman"; I guess he got busted and this show was organized to raise some money for his legal defense. Kevyn used to put on shows in People's Park, a couple of which I went to, big fun in the sun. This Vet's hall benefit was a good time, esp. the epic - 15+ heartfelt minutes - Mona that closed the show." "I remember several of my friends climbed the 12 foot cyclone fence along the east side of the building and snuck in the side door (we were 17 years old at the time, what can I say); I didn't want to sneak into a benefit, so I paid at the door, though the woman taking tickets let my friend in free with me on my $10 donation. The Unreal Band and The Vicious Hippies opened; during the break between bands Calico gave away tickets for the Dead on New Year's Eve. There were a bunch of tie dye tapestries hanging on the walls of the Vet's hall and it was a real festive atmosphere. The Vet's Hall's a great venue, spacious, decent acoustics, and across the park from the Berkeley Community Theater and Berkeley High." |

Golden Gate Park Music Concourse - Spreckels Temple of Music [aka "The Bandshell"]
This is the audio from a multi-camera video of an afternoon show "in the park". I'm seeding the audio first because I'm missing at least one of the song titles and would like to get the setlist completely correct before I finish authoring the DVD. This audio source was probably a close-to-stage microphone on a tripod to the built-in audio input of one of the video cameras. There is a bit of background noise in the mix that can be heard only in quiet spots between songs.
My Beta tape did not track that well during transfer. Because of that, there are quite a few splices, mostly during the jam of "Closer", where surgery was done to patch bad spots as seamlessly as possible.
Barry Melton says they will be playing again later in the day with fireworks at Crissy Field. That later show is listed as a video on www.johncipollina.com but is not what's being shared here since the video clearly shows that they are playing at the bandshell.

This video DVD is from a multi-camera video of an afternoon show "in the park". The quality is not great but not too bad either because of the bright outdoor sun shining into the courtyard of the aquarium.
My Beta tape did not track that well during transfer. Because of that, there are quite a few splices, mostly during the jam of "Closer", where surgery was done to patch bad spots as seamlessly as possible.

Notes: Admission was the cost of the aquarium entrance fee. There was an exhibition of sculptures of dinosaurs made from old cars in the courtyard and the band played there in the afternoon sun. This may have been for the exhibit opening. Later they played in the early evening at Crissy Field outdoors for free with a bunch of other bands and fireworks (since it was the American "Independence Day"). Then finally, John played late night at a biker bar in northeast SF with Thunder and Lightning. Three Cipollina shows in one day!

Notes: | |
- | I don't have an audio recording of this show so I have remastered the original soundtrack. It's not great but it isn't too bad either. There is a little wow and flutter near the start. |
- | I know that there is a soundboard out there and I am trying to get a copy. In the meantime this is a stop gap. If and when it shows up I'll author this to dvd. |
- | This is an NTSC DVD compliant mpeg |
Comments: | |
- | Other acts included: Jerry Garcia and Friends, Country Joe McDonald and Nick Gravenites and Animal Mind. |

Got this tape when I was living in Eugene from Taper Bob. Quality A- sbd, a bit of hiss, CD1 small drop out between track 5 and 6 missing no music, same between Tracks 5 and 6 CD2, all in all a great recording. This show has Papa John taking John Cipollina's place in the band. Haven't seen this circulated so come one come all and enjoy the Dinosaurs in Duck Country. |
