Taper Notes:
View NotesComments: * includes jam with St. Stephen and China Cat teases Notes: - This is a remaster of shn id 21779 - When Ken and Judy recorded this their microphones were attached to the rail at the front of the balcony. Some of the audience were tapping/banging on that rail, particulary during the acoustic section of the set, and these taps were picked up by the mics. John removed as many of them as he could and sent me his files to see if there was anything else that I thought could be done to improve it. I found some more knocks which have been removed. There are a few that are exceptionally hard to remove completely but have been attentuated. - Pitch adjustments have been made, in this connection I had to redo a patch that John had made because the patch source also needed correcting. The patch is the last 18.5 seconds of "Easy Wind" I also patched in the last 35.3 seconds of "In The Midnight Hour". I eq'd the patches so that they are a better fit. The patch source used is shn id 124148 - Thank you Jim Cooper and Rob Berger. -A number of dropouts have been repaired and level adjustments have also been been made. Thanks to Ken and Judy Lee for recording this wonderful show, to John Hance for the original transfer and others involved in the original release Pigpen was such a vital part of this show so I want to dedicate this release to his memory.

View Notes::: Middle of the road audience quality recording for the period. Check the samples for illumination. ::: NOT the Ken & Judy Lee Port Chester Resurrection Project source. I do not know the name of the taper. ::: Warts: Taper turned off reel-to-reel between songs, so there are some late starts & I think there was 1 splice. "St.Stephen" cuts. ::: Catfish was advertised & may have opened for this late show. ::: After many hours of work, my entirely finished original textfile got zapped, so this is somewhat abbreviated & lacks most of the edit details, sorry. ::: Comments courtesy Deadlists & http://db.etree.org : "The Friend Of The Devil has different lyrics. Wake Up Lil Susie is in response to an audience request..." ::: As Jerry calls 'em at one point, the audience is a bunch of "unruly freaks"! Just havin' a good time, you'll hear 'em. ::: "Easy Wind" does not cut off at the end. Likely there are other patches or possibilities to combine this with the Ken Lee source in some way. Line-up ::: Jerry Garcia - acoustic & electric guitars, vocals // Bob Weir - acoustic & electric guitars, vocals // Phil Lesh - electric bass, vocals // Mickey Hart - drums // Bill Kreutzmann - drums // Ron "Pigpen" McKernan - organ, percussion, vocals. Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline. CoolSonics 108 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! My copy came from the Florida Kid, who borrowed some Port Chester reel masters from a friend & kindly dubbed me some copies from the masters. ::: Corrections welcome ::: "Wishing well with a golden bell, bucket hanging clear to hell, Hell halfway twixt now and then, Stephen fill it up and lower down and lower down again." It used to be a running, not so funny joke among us Dead tape collectors that "St Stephen" was cursed. One of the greats & version after version that appeared back in the day was cut in some fashion. Anyway, plenty of other things good about this, so let yer ears have at it. Enjoy. More recordings on the way, making up for years of slow netspeed. Kudos to Zongo for life support, Lochner for mikes & much more, & to Fast Freddie for runnin' Video Dick's Record Emporium with the bathroom office full of tape decks. Thanks to Hanwaker (few among us can keep his pace) for over 30 years of trading & friendship. Mountains of gratitude to Davmar, D.White, Sanchez, Elliot, The Florida Kid, Kloiber, Zingg, JTW, Bershaw, Boston Gold, Weeks, Dixon, Moore, Gough & SO many more for all that collecting & sharing... Royal thanks to The Man In The Palace, Doc Tinker, Brinkhoffs, Barely Eatin', Reel Master Gaule, Parrish & all the traders who housed me thru my music acquisition & travel years. Hats off to Brother Kent, Uncle Jake, Little Queenie (& her neighbor Frank) & his honor Ptomaine Thomas. Glasses raised to Byron for musical horizon expansion & much obliged to J & Thurston for keepin' my concert fires burnin' since my continental shift. Thanks to the Mods for keepin' DIME alive.

View Notes-Original tape was baked in "Susie Q", shell replaced and transferred on a Tascam 122mk3 via a Lucid ADA1000 Analog to Digital Converter directly to disc on a Tascam CDRW700 by John Jay Hance. -Cleanup performed by Peter G with Soundforge. -Retracking with WavMerge2.1 and CDWav. SHN conversion with MKW (seekable) by Evan Bellaff "Sit Down, Shut up!"- Definitely the crowd mantra at this Grateful Dead show at the Capitol Theater. The energy of an extremely restless audience was beautifully captured on these tapes by Ken and Judy Lee. Not at all shy about making their presence and demands known, this feisty New York crowd tested the band's nerves during the first half of the show with an endless arsenal of hoots, jeers, cries for quiet and a relentless bombardment of song requests. Fortunately in typical Grateful Dead fashion, the band rose to the occasion and harnessed and transmuted crowd chaos into one of the most powerful, over the top and enjoyable finishes in Grateful Dead history. Enjoy this 2.5'nd installment of the Port Chester Resurrection Project- Grateful Dead at the Capitol Theater, March 21, 1970- Late Show. Thanks to Ken, Judy, Peter and John Jay for another excellent effort. If you are ever at The Capitol Theater in Port Chester, stop by the balcony and say hello to Ken and Judy, but remember to be "vewy, vewy qwiet" (and no tapping on the railing, please)!- Evan Bellaff (01/04) Notes: (!) 06:42-07:24 During this portion of a fine "Dancin'" jam, Phil and Jerry's lead open into a state of grace which is breathtaking. The ensuing 7:30 of jam is quite beautiful as well. (1) Pig mistakedly begins singing the first verse of "Easy Wind" as the band opens the song with the chorus. (2) "Easy Wind" cuts off at 7:36. The remainder of the track is a leadin to the acoustic set, containing some great stage/crowd banter. (3) 09:42 Bobby- Hey Let's hear some... let's hear some insults. Why doesn't everybody turn to their neighbor and insult him as worst as you possibly can. 10:36 Jerry- Take it easy out there you unruly pigs! (4) 00:20 Audience member (screaming over Jerry's guitar intro to "Friend of the Devil"):Please sit down!! Jerry: Shut the f*@K up (second two words clearly muttered under his breath). (5) 03:37 One example of several audible instances of a fan tapping on the balcony railing, to which Ken's microphones were fastened. This sound is noticable during the acoustic set only. (6) 00:16 Shhh!!!....Shhh!!!- This sound is none other than Judy Lee containing crowd noise. Notice how the "clap along" to the UJB introduction suddenly drops off into silence after the audience is well reprimanded. (7) 00:00-00:29 Bobby: You guys wanna hear Pig Pen? ...well let him KNOW about it ...I don't think he hears you, maybe you better shout a little louder ...and here he is now folks, Pig Pen!!! 00:43 Pig Pen: You probably heard this one last night because it's the only one I know. (over noisy crowd) Yeah, you can't hear the mistakes unless you shut up!

Taper Notes:
View NotesKen and Judy Lee didn't think anyone would be interested in hearing their recordings... Between the years 1970 and 1971, Ken worked security at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, New York, while his girlfriend Judy ran movie projections between sets. One of a few live music taping enthusiasts of the time, Ken was granted exclusive permission by club promoter Howard Stein to record the shows at the theatre for his own personal use. Judy was on hand to perform the tape flips while Ken was busy doing his job. In 1968, the couple took Judy's brother Mark, who was nine years old to his first concert at "Cafe Wha?" in New York City. The Monkees were on tour and Jimi Hendrix was along for the ride as their opening act. Several years later, Mark was introduced to the music of the Grateful Dead at the Nassau Coliseum on March 19th, 1973 in Uniondale, Long Island. This single event marked the beginning of a life long odyssey of musical experiences with the band that affected him most deeply. Along with his good friend, John Jay Hance, who Mark met at a Dead show in 1979, the two traveled around the United States with the band in search of the ultimate musical experience, attending over 350 shows together. The two also shared a common interest in seeing live music of a wide variety of genres, and during the 23 years that they knew each other attended more than 1000 total concerts together, until Mark's untimely death in November of 2002. Mark knew of brother in-law Ken's recordings from the Capitol Theatre, and had a strong interest in having the shows circulated; however, being true to his word to Howard Stein, Ken kept the recordings under wraps and the tapes never saw the light of the trading domain (One noteworthy bending of this rule occurred when Ken agreed at Mark's request to circulate the late show that the Grateful Dead did on June 24th of 1970. This show is highly regarded as an all-time magical performance by the Dead during their 30 year history as a band)
