We are pleased to kick off a series of releases from a long time West Coast taper/collector that recently passed away. He transferred his extensive archives to CDR years prior to his passing and then passed it to a close friend. His friend has been involved in the West Coast music scene for the last five plus decades and understands the importance of getting these historic shows out to the collector’s community. We are working closely reviewing the shows and researching current circulation as well as possible upgrades.

Our eighth release features a wonderful FM broadcast from Stomu Yamashta's Go captured at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on the 1977 tour in support of the excellent "Go Too" release.

This is the last night at the Music Hall of a two night stand playing two shows a night at 9 and 11:30.

We’ve included newspaper ads and a review of the show, with the headline "A jazz onslaught of indescribable volume and style", the review is positive stating "...the overall concept of Yamashta's music, and his direction, made for some of the best-ever Great American Music Hall listening." The review mentions it being a 10-piece band, we have confirmed 9 of the 10 members if that is correct.

There are a number of folks we are indebted to for access to this exciting new archives, the anonymous West Coast collector, may he rest in peace, his friend that had the motivation and understands the need to get these historically important shows into circulation before they were lost forever and a huge thanks to dime member “davmar77”. He did not currently have the bandwidth to facilitate such an undertaking at this time and put us in touch...this is how dime should work.

Also, a big thanks to Goody, our pitch master, for not only getting this historically important show at the correct speed as well as helping tidy up the setlist.

Dimers don't wait until it's too late to get those archives out into circulation.
