The Velvet Forum

* this tape may actually be in circulation
** bogus tape of this gig is making the rounds

these are (mostly) the tapes which are listed in What Goes On (Best of 1+2). If I could figure out how to post pictures here I would post the actual page in the magazine which lists them.



Ok that's a thumnail of it. I'll try to post a full size version if someone can tell me how to....

You can see from the context that the authors of that page had probably not heard the ones you list - they are not on the "annotated tape list".

The "Joseph Freeman" Max's tape certainly exists.

I'd like to think that recordings were made at the Fillmore West, and that they are in Wolfgang's Vault with the rest of the Bill Graham archive, but that is really just wishful thinking on my part....
