Comments:

* Joan Baez solo
** Joan Baez with Mickey Hart
*** Joan Baez with Grateful Dead
**** without Brent

- the mix changes just after the start of It's All Over Now

- another great recording.  Thanks to Mark for lending his masters to LMPP

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.
