Source: 10” 1/4 track SBD Feed Master Reels @ 7.5ips;

Lineage:

10” 1/4 track Reels (Revox A-77 playback) -> Lexicon Lambda (24/96) -> Logic (mastering: speed correction, track indexing, dithering to 16/44.1) -> AIFF -> Xact (sbe correction) -> wav -> flac; Transfer (October 2009) and mastering (December 2017) by Alan Bershaw

Taper Notes:

View NotesThis is a previously uncirculated soundboard direct recording of this show. All three sets and some of the break material were recorded in mono onto three 10" 1/4 track reels at 7.5ips. All three sets run seamlessly with nothing missing. 

This was recorded surreptitiously from a monitoring feed in one of the executive offices at RCMH. All of the music was captured on the 10" reels except for the complete encore, where the 3rd reel ran out at 1:45 into "Uncle John's Band." Cassettes existed for the rest of the same feed, but were recorded on TDK D-60s without Dolby and sound vastly inferior to the reels. To keep this entire recording from a single source, the cassette transfers seamlessly patch the remainder of ÒUncle JohnÕs BandÓ to the end of the recording. Ditto for tracks 30 to 34 during break 1 and tracks 51 to 58 during break 2 which were not recorded on the 10" reels. Other than the patch to complete UJB, every second of all 3 sets is sourced from the 10" reels which do not suffer from any notable flaws.

I don't think anything this complete has circulated before. Even after all these years, the backstage segments with bandmembers and the Jerry's Kids telethon material is still relatively funny and sure to bring back memories for those of us who were there. And as I can testify, a whole lot we forgot about - like Bob Weir or Al Franken joking about underage girls in ways that don't sound funny anymore (if they ever did). Almost all of it is custom-tailored humor for Deadheads circa 1980, so if you take Franken & Davis in context, you may enjoy much of the previously uncirculated break material.

I've wanted to share this recording for a long time, but officially released material prevented me from doing so - despite all of this music being a significantly different mix than anything commercially available. If you enjoyed the previous night from this same source, you'll find this recording equally enjoyable.

Happy New Year!

Alan

C>SHN Conversion by Cousinit

Patch Source:

Master AUD (Sony ECM-280/D-5) Cass> PCM> ZA2> CD > EAC > SHN(shnid 1955)

except for part of drums (see below), which was patched with the AUD audio source from the circulating DVD (no source info given).

The following corrections were made:

- all tracks put back in phase by reinverting left channel in CE 2K
- multiple dropouts, splices, etc. patched
- first three tracks of second electric set put at end of CD 2 to allow CD3 to fit on one disc.  Disc change between CDs 2 and 3 is seamless.
- SBD from 1:32 of GDTRFB to end of the show is higher-pitched; this was corrected in CE Pro (stretched 100.383%) so speed and pitch matched the rest of the show.  It sounds like it was either patched in from an alternate SBD or played back on a different deck.

Many thanks to Charlie Miller for his advice on determining which channel to reinvert.  Thanks to Cousinit for the SBD source and his flaw notes, also mcole, Charles Weir, drgseeds and Deadhead for their SBD source comments and Charles (?) for his AUD source comment on the drums track.  Last but not least thanks to Jim Wise for his excellent audience patch source, as well as to (?) for circulating the DVD of this show, which provided part of drums.
