Taper Notes:
View NotesComments: - This is not a remaster of what has gone before, it's a redo using the original raw files. - "Silver Threads And Golden Needles " is now complete, John came across another tape with it on. You also get 4 or so extra minutes of tuning at the start of the electric set. Notes: Acoustic Dead: patches - "FOTD" - all - part of the banter before "Cumberland Blues" source used shnid 100223 - Thank you Bill Gadsden and Chuck Reynolds The patches have been eq'd so that they are a better fit. NRPS: - A few knocks, bumps, clicks, etc removed - There are probably 4 or 5 seconds missing from the start of "Cecilia" because of a tape flip. There are no sources available to patch this with. Electric Dead; - Azimuth and phase adjustments have been made - The lights came up after "UJB" but nobody was ready to go home. A Joan Baez record could be heard over the PA but the audience wanted more. So the boys came back on and gave them what they wanted. Joan has been edited out for copyright reasons. Thanks to Ken and Judy Lee for these wonderful recordings. Thanks to John Jay Hance for the transfers and passing the original files to me. Thanks to Joe B. Jones for his advice on pitch correction. edited and mastered SIRMick February 2019

Taper Notes:
View Notesthe material on disc one is missing from the Lee/PCRP source. the material on disc two is new to digital circulation. Black Peter - end is patched with Jim's 2006 transfer - shnid:32710, part of Minglewood,most of China Cat and all of Rider and UJB are mono due to problems with left mic cable. parts of NFA & Easy Wind are garbled due to tape damage BUT when it really counts the sound quality is very good.

View Notes"Source Information for The Usher's Tapes Tree "the person who is responsible for the bulk of the capitol theatre audience recordings is a fellow by the name of ken lee (not sure of his last name spelling). this is the guy who was employed by howard stein (local ny area promoter of the time) my source is his brother in law, mark c (a long time dead head & quite a nice & unassuming person) i owe mark a huge debt of gratitude. ken's port chester masters were recorded on a sony cassette deck (don't have the 'model # or mic info) his positioning was generally center lodge with mic's mounted on the rail. 3/21/70 had the mic's spaced at over 15 feet, and the recording bears out that information. 6/24/70 set#2 was mastered on a 120-minute cassette. ken is reported to be very un-friendly and intimidating (6 foot 5 inches with a security guard attitude) he was at tompkins square park, nyc 6/67 and reported a ? hour dancin' in the street, fwiw. he recorded many local shows (queens college, all 4 stands at port chester, Manhattan center.etc. mark says he was doing this only for himself and never did much of anything at all with his recordings. at port chester he had howard steins permission to tape, with the footnote of never letting them out. so...marks older sister is married to this guy & he would occasionally let mark have tapes & mark was apparently pretty free with his copies over the years. most of what circulates from gd @ port chester originated mainly from mark's 1st gen copies, not ken's masters. as time went on their relationship deteriorated (now they are estranged) and ken literally & figuratively shut the door on mark. marks last score from ken's tapes was back in 1986. when ken was out, mark & an instigating friend went armed with sony tc d5m's and recorded as much from the masters as they could get away with. ken arrived in the middle of all this and was outraged and shut it all down & proceeded to take all the copies (not all it turned out) mark told me that at that point in time, all the tapes he witnessed were badly in need of restoration (and this was back in 1986) i am sad to relay that even though these master still exist, there are rotting in un-kind hands it took me close to 2 years & many phone calls to hook up with mark, and then only for one day. things were haphazard & i taped what i could given the time i had on hand. mark had 2 separate copies of 6/24/70 late show. the older copy he received with ken's blessing in the mid '70's, this was on a xl 2, no dolby, the fresher copy was from the incident in 1986. this was on a mx metal cassette and had a better frequency response, but there was a bad squeal & lisp on the right hand channel and proves the deterioration of the recording. i went with the older copy that was made when the master was in better condition set list has; nfa easy wind (very powerful), me & my uncle, dark star ikyr, then uncle johns band (which is not the encore, as they never leave the stage. the encore is an acoustic "swing low sweet chariot" it was mia, but I WILL get it 3/21/70 has never sounded this good. it's actually quite fantastic in spots. it's the best recording i've ever heard coming out of that room 11/5/70 is a powerful psychedelic feast. i could never sit through it before, because of the abysmal quality i want to, and enjoy bringing pleasure to fellow music lovers. please let it be known i have zero tolerance for any suspicion, or dishonesty. criticism, on the other hand i can handle fairly well. so give me a few days & i'll get seeds to someone who has already volunteered to handle the administration and decimation on deadlist. our 1970 caretaker, jim powell, will get cd's from me for his analysis that's the story" THANKS, Jim!
