View NotesNotes:

There is speculation that there may be an additional cassette generation before Will Boswell's Reels (Garcia's?). This is part of the Debbie Stash

- Thanks to Matt Smith for the source and transfer
- Thanks to Charlie Miller for coordinating this effort
- Two sets of soundboard masters were used to make this show seamless and complete
- Thanks to Dave Hollister and Greg Hamilton for the shnid1234 soundboard source which supplies a 0:21 patch in "Weather Report Suite Prelude", a 0:29 patch in "Dire Wolf", as well as a 0:27 patch in "The Other One"
- Thanks to Joe B. Jones for his assistance with the pitch correction

This is a pitch corrected, patched and re-mastered version of the shnid1234 sbd.hollister source

Taper Notes:

View NotesNotes:
- Lineage of this shnid1234 sbd.hollister source is questionable for a number of reasons a) the majority of the between song tunings/banter are missing, the beginning of "Ramble On Rose" is clipped (typical of a Dick Latvala transfer to cassette), b) some 2nd set songs were out of order (unusual for a master reel > Dat transfer), c) there is a cut in "Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo" that was tightened up (not noted in nfo file), d) spectral analysis indicates there's most likely an additional analog generation. This shnid1234 source almost certainly derives from Dick Latvala's 1st generation cassettes made from the master reels (Master Soundboard Reel > Cassette > Dat > CD > EAC >SHN)
- Two sets of soundboard masters were used to make this show seamless and complete
- Thanks to Will Boswell and Matt Smith for the soundboard cassette source which supplies the tuning and first 1:00 of "Ramble On Rose", a 0:24 patch in "Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo", a 0:29 patch in "The Other One", as well as most of the in-between song tunings/banter (additional 18:00 or so of audio)

patch details

- d1t01  approximately 9 seconds was missing at the start, to which I have added 20 seconds of crowd/tuning
- d2t05 - left channel partial dropout from 5:36 - 5:37 replaced
-d3t02  patched 3:56 - 4:21
- various problems (clicks, crackle, etc) have been corrected, most of which occured on d1
- d3 retracked to match the song order of the aud source

from original notes:

d1t01 (Ramble On Rose): some sound system problems 
d3t05 (UJB): appears to be from different source, lineage
             possibly S:MR > cassette > DAT > CDR
