Greatest Story Ever Told | 1982-07-28 | Grateful Dead

View NotesSoundforge was used to make fades, and to patch-in the first
five seconds of Shakedown from the AUD source taken from LMA.
The missing segment of drums could not be patched-in since the
same segment was missing from the AUD source.

There was a rain storm during this show, which seems to have
caused some sound problems in the mix. Both Jerry and Bob's
guitars drop in and out of the mix during the first set, and
are almost gone at times. These moments occur in spots between
TLEO and Women Are Smarter. There's also light static in the
right channel at a few spots, and a few brief moments where the
vocals go out, and the bass pops. All of these are likely due
to the rain storm, and not a problem with the transfer or your
download. Still, it's a great source, so don't let that scare
you away. There's minimal cuts and hiss, so I'm guessing this
is a low-gen source, or possibly a reel source. Big thanks to
Joey Browning and Jake Feinberg for the cassettes. ENJOY!

every time the band stopped. The theory was saving
batteries and tape space. We would learn to record the
entire show by Spring 83! I cut dead space or faded down/up at those cuts
but there are a few harsh stops/starts-apologies from my 21 year old self!

Red Rocks Amphitheatre Morrison CO Night 2 SAT July 28 1982
mic location- 50 feet from stage dead center
This day's story starts during set 2 the night before. About 10 minutes into the downpour a tarp comes over my head as I wore the mics and the amount of rain hitting my head was greatly reduced. Looked around and it was 2 dudes who had noticed we were recording in the pouring rain holding a tarp over our heads.Those same guys showed up early on this day 2 and offered to set up behind us again and help us cover up in case of rain. Those two guys were great and I traded tapes with one of them for 3-4 years afterward. Jim Morrison (his real name) going to school (Tulane I think) in New Orleans at that time and his friend- Jim. If either of if you hear this- THANKS!

It rained steadily most of the first set into set break but mercifully stopped at the start of set 2. At one point the rain got heavy where Bob mentions hoping they don't go up in sparks . They played the expected rain songs, Lazy Lightning in the first set and Let it Grow in set 2 being notable. The lack of rain during set 2 was refreshing and allowed the crowd and Rocks to dry out a bit. The complete story of our summer tour can be read in the text file.

Recorded By Mason Taylor on a Nakamichi 550 Cassette Deck, on crome tapes, with Nakamichi microphones; Transferred on Mason's restored Nak550

Taper Notes:

View Notes"Mason B. Taylor was a taper from Chicago that recorded concerts by many bands in the Chicagoland area and on Dead tours. He used a Nakamichi 550 with Nakamichi 300 mics with shotgun capsules for most of his earlier recordings. In later years he used Sony D-5 and Sony D-3 cassette recorders with Nakamichi 300 mics.

Mason captured spectacular musical moments and loved to share them with his closest friends. In honor of Mason and all the love he put into his recordings we are now able to share these moments with those who can appreciate them most.

As the shows get uploaded we would love for you to share your stories about the epic times the music evokes so we can all dial back into that moment when the magic was happening.

Thanks to Mason’s family and his Chicago and Cleveland friends for opening up Mason’s Jar…"
