Notes:  Cassette #408 features the David Grisman Quartet (David Grisman-mandolin, mandola, Darol Anger-fiddle, Mike Marshall-guitar, mandolin, mandocello & Rob Wasserman-bass) recorded in Tokyo, Japan, October 18-20, 1983.  Side A is a nice recording of a radio broadcast, while Side B is an audience recording of relatively inferior fidelity in comparison.  It's nice, for a change of pace, to hear Grisman's Quartet rather than his more typical Quintet recordings, while featuring tunes from "Quintet '80" (1980), "Mondo Mando" (1981), and "Dawg Grass/Dawg Jazz" (1983).
