Promised Land | 1973-06-09 | Grateful Dead

View Notes*** This is a fixed version of gd73-06-09.130939.mtx.dusborne.flac16 ***
*** I purchased a new computer at the end of May and when installing my DAW the 
in/out settings were incorrectly configured. This reflects the corrections I made
and should replace gd73-06-09.130939.mtx.dusborne.flac16.

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header
of each flac file. It will display on any player 
capable of directly playing flac files. 
If converted to wav during processing, all tags 
will be stripped, however audio data will remain 
unaffected. If you must transcode to a lossy format, 
do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.

SBD patch Lineage:
MR > PCM > cassette > DAT > CD > EAC > SHN > WAV > Samplitude Pro > 24/96

This AUD recording epitomizes the very best of the Grateful Dead "live sound" for the time. The prototype Wall of Sound is nailed by Alembic and the sound crew for this show. Set within an outdoor Stadium, this close-up infield FOB spatially captures sound from the two Aux PA towers on the infield, behind the taper. This sound delay adds a touch of ear candy as it rolls around the stadium. This show, and June 10 was by far the best sound I ever heard come out of a PA System, period. It was a sensational orgy of sound.

Matt Smith did a great job transferring these tapes of mine! Thank you!

This AUD recording epitomizes the very best of the Grateful Dead "live sound" for the time. The Wall of Sound is nailed by the sound crew and the Dead for this show. Set within an outdoor Stadium, this close-up infield FOB spatially captures sound from the two Aux PA towers on the infield, behind the taper. The sound delay from the Wall of Sound to the Aux PA towers adds a touch of ear candy as it rolls around the stadium. This was by far the best sound fidelity experience I ever heard come out of a PA System, period. It was a sensational orgy of sound. -- Monte
