Taper Notes:

View Notes--this is from a reel recorded in '69.  There are a few minor discontinuities/blemishes in the recording
--there may be missing songs before Schoolgirl
--several minutes are probably missing from the beginning of Schoolgirl.
--there is a splice in Schoolgirl @ 1:26
--the first couple notes of Cryptical(1) are clipped
--the band is forced to finish Viola Lee acapella after the plug is pulled on their instruments, presumably, for playing past Avalon curfew
--Sound Forge was used for a slight pitch correction and a few minor edits

Taper Notes:

View NotesCOMMENTS from deadlists
  Total time [1:36:18 +].  This show was broadcast live on KPFA-FM
Berkeley.  The FM broadcast, from which the circulating tape derives, cuts
in during Good Morning Little Schoolgirl.  The cassette master of the FM
broadcast from which these timings come has cuts, both brief, during
Cryptical reprise at 6:20 and 7:09.  At 10:48 into the Viola Lee Blues the
Dead's instruments lose power, Bobby says "It seems someone is trying to
tell us something" and they finish the tune with a chorus of vocals only.  

From Keith Hunter & Jack Warner

Extraction, Retracking and SHN encoding by Alan J. Fink
Additional editing
1. Added the DJ intro found before Schoolgirl,
2. Some stage banter/announcements found after King Bee and
3. Some stage banter/announcements found after Viola Lee Blues
from Jack Warner's copy to Keith Hunter's cleaner copy.
