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.

Comments:
- We are not certain about the set split between I and II as there is nothing to indicate where it was, so this our best guess.
Notes:
- The first 3:57 of Set I had a number of problems in the right channel. Most of these were repaired by copying over the left channel.
- There is a tape flip in "Mean Old World", not too much is missing.
