06:57am Jul 7, 1997 PDT Dick Latvala: "3/16/88- HJK. . . is a really excellent show and maybe should come out!"

03:00pm Jul 11, 1997 PDT Dick Latvala: "As far as my thoughts about the Tom Constanten period, well, can I say that I want to have every show that he ever played on? It's quite clear to me that you guys will get your fill of great stuff from this period (late '68 thru early '70) Obviously, the songlists from this period have a lot in common, but the performances have a lot of uniqueness. I am in total agreement about this stuff, in fact this is the best of the best music ever played on the planet!!!"
