Tape 1

[saipanda]

Sorry, I seem to have misread your original message.

In my previous answer I was thinking the next show was on part of tape 1, two parts on 
tape 2 and one part on tape 3. Don't know where I got that from.

Must be the exhaustion!

Anyway, if I have got it right now, think the solution for the first show is to add 
appropriate links, comments, info on the Tape 2 page, the 7 July 1978 page, and the 400 
Box main page.

Will do this when I get up. 

Cheers,

Steve
