Speed corrected using Cool Edit Pro:
- joined wavs using 'Open Append'
- speed/pitch adjusted using 'Pitch Bender'
- re-tracked

The proper pitch was determined by comparing to a guitar tuned to A=440.

d1 through d3t04 adjusted -23 cents
encore d3t05 adjusted +67 cents

The whole show needed the same adjustment, *except for the encore*.  The encore looks like the same source as the rest, but the pitch is clearly different.  The -23 cents correction doesn't bring it in tune like the rest of the show.  A -33 cents correction does bring it into tune, but then Dark Star is in the key of Ab, while it's always played in A.  I highly doubt they actually played it in Ab, and Jerry sounds awfully sluggish.  With this in mind, I found that raising the pitch +67 cents brought it into A, and Jerry sounds normal again.

My guess (just a guess), is that the encore was transferred from a DAT at a different time than the rest of the show, or using different equipment or settings, and a 48khz > 44.1khz conversion was not done properly, introducing the new pitch problem for the encore.  I'm fairly certain that it is correct now though.

View Notes- full moon and Friday the 13th
- shooting star over stage during start of Dark Star
- first Dark Star since 12 31 1981, more than two and a half years, 167 shows,
  and another wouldn't be played for 359 shows, more than five years until the famous Warlocks show on 10 9 1989
- Betamania source provides a few spots of tape flip and tape pause patching
- a "best of" radio show from this run debuted these tapes July 19, 2020 on Dead Air 91.3 FM KXCI Tucson

"“Yes, I absolutely did see the shooting star at the song’s intro. It whistled through the sky and disappeared behind the eucalyptus trees lining the Greek. MANY people saw it, and it took our breath away (a serious murmur went through the crowd). There’s no way Jerry could have set THAT up!”"
