Matrix by Hunter Seamons using Final Cut Pro (SHN & FLAC>AIFF>Final Cut>WAV>FLAC) 
August 30, 2008

Notes:

1) Fades were used to create a "seamless" (i.e. continuous) AUD track.

2) The transition between discs is seamless.

3) Show notes by Eric F. Wybenga, from his book, "Dead to the Core":

"This show opens with an all-time Sugaree and picks up from there. The second set is sick from start to end, starting with a very clearly sung and played Alabama>Greatest and a Terrapin>Playin' that's nothing short of phenomenal. Jerry's singing in the Terrapin is very sensitive, and the band jams it out fully before going into a Playin' of historic proportions, highlighted by Brent's lush, otherworldly synth runs. The post-Drums cascade is a series of momentum-building, flawless transitions between exciting versions of Uncle John's, Miracle, Bertha, and Good Lovin'. The Casey Jones encore, like the rest of the show, has that little bit more that kicks it into another realm. This one's hot, a must-have."

Recorded By Mason Taylor on a Nakamichi 550 Cassette Deck, on chrome tapes, with Nakamichi microphones

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…"
