Taper Notes:

View NotesThe first set needed no patches (the deck was paused between songs and those breaks in continuity have been slightly edited to smooth the transitions), however the second set required three insert patches, at these locations:
* A. 03.56 seconds from shnid 96562 patched in between "To Lay Me Down" and "Playing In The Band" as PITB begins (pause deck error)
# B. 12.09 seconds from shnid 96562 patched 10 seconds into "Space" (tape flip) 
+ C. 04.52 secomds from shnid 96562 patched at the finale of "Sugar Magnolia" (master tape 2 side b ran out - tape change)

shnid 96562 suffers from a drop in sound quality during the second half of the second set, I suspect they needed to lower their mics to avoid getting discovered by a security sweep. This version retains consistent sound quality throughout.

Taper Notes:

View NotesNotes:

- there is a considerable sonic change from D3T02 to D3T05. I've tried to polish this up a little, but it's still very prominent.
Seeing how this is the only aud circulating right now, I've opted not to patch with the soundboard.

- This is a great, full sounding pull of a historic show. Many thanks to Mark for capturing it and lending his masters to LMPP to get them out.

Tapers Notes

- Jaime built the mic mixer and we all taped from the free throw line on the floor at the Oakland Auditorium. The mic's went from the mixer into my Sony TC-D5M. There was also a patch bay, but I don't remember how many decks were plugged in. I went to 10 New Years runs / shows from 1977 to 1990 and the 1981 run was my favorite.
