The recording is in mono, and reflects very occasional analog tape flaws such as bursts of flutter. These flaws are from the master. The lineage information available states that Dolby A decoding was not performed, but the sound is nevertheless very good and does not sound compressed.

As with the other Port Chester recordings, a slight whine comes and goes throughout the recording. We have applied a very light notch filter as needed. The filtering was accomplished using Cool Edit Pro, and consisted of a sequence of notch filters at and around 8k, approximately 1 kHz wide and only 2 db in depth. The filtering was mainly during the in-between banter but also on the songs where required - more so in the 2nd set. In The Other One there were two short bursts of static that appear to have come from the stage, and these were reduced in level. No other filtering was performed.

As indicated in the set list, Bird Song is cut. There are also several cuts on the master during crowd noise before Truckin' starts the first
set, but who cares?

Indicated timings in info file are of the music, not of the track.

Taper Notes:

View NotesI'm sure all of you know that this is the 1st show without Mickey Hart for a few years.  Yes you can D/L the show from GDLive or Archive.org or you have already had it for years. BUT! This is a new perspective. I recently borrowed 1st Gen Reels of an AUDIENCE recording of this show! It is amazing to hear the audience and bands interaction. This is NOT an A+ recording but I'm an engineer and remastered to the best of my abilities. There are some cuts and even a little bleed from whatever was recorded over when the dub was made. My friend Don was there and got the dubs. The masters cannot be tracked down but these were 1st gens! I'm 99% sure this recording never really got out there. It was a 1st gen .5" reel. I already forgot if it was 7.5ips or 15ips. The tape was recycled too, meaning it was taped over to record this show. My friend knew the taper but can't get anymore details. The reel sat for years before we did this transfer. There was more on the reels that the community was happy to hear about too. It was a mono recording and I remastered it. I'm happy to have been able to restore this gem for the masses to hear. I've gotten so much from you all it is great to give some back!!

I had vined this in summer of 2002 but this might be the first data distrobution.

Here's to a full decade of missing Jerry Garcia!  I hope you enjoy the early audience recording!  and remember if you must clap, keep the tempo! ;)
