The date on my tape says Oct 4th 1975. but i know that is wrong, becasue the stage announcer talks about up coming shows.

Coming this fri & Sat is Roger McQuinn "just off the Bob Dlyan tour" (tour ended 5/25/76)

Also mentioned "Then the following weekend on the 20th and 21st is Muddy Waters. "Just celebrated his 63rd Birthday"

Muddy Waters is documented as playing on Aug 20 & 21 1976.

That would place Roger McGuinn on the previous fri & sat Aug 13 & 14, 1976

That would place my 8/10/76 tape on a Tuesday.

The 8/10/76 tape mentions that BB is playing the next night (presumably) on Aug 11, 1976.

I'm making the assumption and educated guess that my 10/4/75 tape is actually from 8/11/76,

based on the other information present on the tape. Based on the following.

1) BB's description of each band members time spent as a member in the band, matches identically

on both 10/4/75 & 8/10/76 tapes. Along with his remark about celebreating 30 years as a performer.

2) The fact that Muddy Waters is documented as being there on Aug 20 & 21, 1976

3) The fact that Roger McGuinn is documented as being there on Aug 13 & 14, 1976

4) Ron Levy is absent in both recordings. Ron Left the band in early 1976.

The only available day that is possible for the 10/4/75 tape is 8/11/76 (early show).
