    Yowza. Thank you!

    question: has a list been publicly shared of the non-GD/JG reels that were discovered? I know those aren't a priority for most of us, but it would add to the picture if to know who else BCJ taped (including opening bands, but also non-GD gigs).

      There are lists of the other stuff, but nothing public beyond dribs and drabs, sometimes because stuff circulated, like the Loggins and Messina 6/30/72, and some post-Jerry NRPS dates and so forth, IIRC.

    Thanks. While it's great info, there's not a lot of moving-the-needle type news here in terms of bringing new releases into possibility. Do you know if the cassettes listed are masters or copied from reels? If so perhaps they might patch the cuts in 3.18.77 NFA, 4.23.77 Franklin's etc.

    Bummer there's no more late '72 in there.

    The April '78 box set looms.

  7. Fate MusicWednesday, September 9, 2020 at 6:17:00 PM MDT

    The cassettes are mostly masters, I think.

    I am not trying to move the needle, just putting the info out there since people seem to want to know.
