ARTIST: MOTHER MCCREE\'S UPTOWN JUG CHAMPIONS
ALBUM: LIVE AT THE TANGENT, PALO ALTO, CA 1964
GENRE: FOLK, JUGBAND
YEAR: RECORDED/PERFORMED: 1964, RELEASED: 1999

The performances on the album were recorded by Stanford University students Pete Wanger and Wayne Ott. They played the recordings on the folk music show "Live from the Top of the Tangent", which was broadcast on Stanford\'s FM radio station KZSU. The tapes were thought to be lost to history until Pete Wanger and his brother Michael found them in the attic of their mother\'s house in 1997. The recordings were subsequently mastered for CD by Grateful Dead recording engineer Jeffrey Norman. Michael Wanger was a boyhood friend of Bob Weir, and wrote the liner notes for the CD.

Mother McCree\'s Uptown Jug Champions includes several songs that were later played in concert by the Grateful Dead — "Overseas Stomp" (also known as "Lindy"), "Ain\'t It Crazy" (a.k.a. "The Rub"), "On the Road Again", "The Monkey and the Engineer", and "Beat It On Down the Line".
