Taper Notes:

View NotesI used the Barbella source (shnid 6025) to patch in an extra 1:40 at the beginning of drums.  The Barbella source also provides the majority of 1:57-5:30 of Throwing Stones, except for 2 dropouts (5:08-5:14 and less than a second at 5:21), which are patched with a purported multigen cassette source purported to be from an FM rebroadcast at some later date, which I downloaded from alt.binaries.gdead (no shnid).  This source had all of Throwing Stones intact, but was of decidedly inferior quality, and like the other two sources was missing part of drums.

I switched the left and right channels in the Barbella source and time/pitch stretched it to 102.1% to match the Miller source.  All editing was done in CE Pro and resulting SBEs fixed using shntool.

Taper Notes:

View NotesCelebrating 30 years!!!! … The master cassettes are getting older and need to be Archived digitally before they are gone…. A new start to going though my recordings. Nothing special about this run… I was way in the back of the HJ Kaiser in the balcony in the Official Taping section. Though seating capacity is only around 6000, so it’s not huge. Running my Toa K1’s Spaced at 24” on bar about 10’ up > xlr to mini (1/8” /3.5mm) TRS,> direct to Sony WM-D6C..There must have been more that 30 or more mic stands up and who knows how many decks, not to mention any front of board tapers. For me personally it’s historic, as It was 30 years ago, and this set of shows were the first Grateful Dead shows I taped (recorded).
A big thanks to Ron Cook who custom machined my  24” spreader bar for my Toa K1’s and James (Jim) Ford both of whom helped getting tickets and seats  to secure taping locations in 87, 87, 88, 89…
I will begin to jump around in my collection of recordings to find special ones and or ones that are unique or of better quality of my uncirculated captures.


enjoy - ArchivalAudio
