Taper Notes:

View NotesGeneral Notes:

This is my favorite show from this run, as evident in the double
encore which included one of only 9 She Belongs To Me in 1985 (only
other version was in 1966).  Minglewood through Dupree's is sick,
an epic China->Rider for the era, and the transition into Gimme Some 
Lovin' is quintessential.

Both SBD sources were synched to the AUD.  Set 1 SBD was pitched up
on average of 50 cents, and set 2 SBD was pitched up around 2 cents,
except the 2nd encore where I synched the AUD to the SBD because of
a 700 millesecond dropout in the AUD @ 0:42. No EQ was applied, and 
very spare Waves L2 limiting was employed to the matrix mix.

Thanks to Randy Griesman for the set 1 SBD source, and to David Gans
for the set 2 SBD editing (it really helped!) and to Joe Samaritano
for transferring David's work.  Thanks to Jim and Doug Oade for 
recording the wonderful AUD, Doug for transferring it, and Darrin Sacks 
for tracking it.

Enjoy!

Taper Notes:

View NotesFix of GDLive download source (shnid 5682).  Overlap between CDs 2 and 3 was eliminated in Cool Edit 2000, allowing for a seamless transition between the two - perfect for playing on hard drive or recording to DAT or DVD audio.  The dropout between TStones and NFA was patched using Doug Oade's excellent AUD source.  The AUD was pitch adjusted in CE2K, then the splice was done with fades to ease the transition using DDClip.  Wavmerge was used to merge fixed d2t06/d3t01 combo file with all succeeding files on CD 3 (including the patched TS>NFA), then retracked in CDWave to compensate for "ripple effect" on sector boundaries from deleting overlap between discs 2 and 3.

Note: There are 3 loud pops at the beginning of Throwing Stones, most likely from Phil's amp.  Although I originally softened them in Cool Edit, I ended up pasting that section back in from the original GDLive download (being extremely careful to match the beginning and end points in both sources at the sample level - that section is now restored exactly as it was before I touched it).  The pops also appear on the Oade recording, so even though they're annoying they are part of what was heard at the concert and not physically hurtful to ears or equipment, so it should be left as is. - 4/26/06

Known errors:
Minor dropout before d2t05.
[Dropout between d3t04 & d3t05.]-patched

compiled from two different bootleg CDs; patched from Oade AUD

Taper Notes:

View NotesTwo different bootlegs were used to compile this new seed:
- "Greek Theater 15/6/85" supplies all of Set 1, China>Rider and U.S.Blues;
- "Dead Man's Tape" suppiles the remainder of Set 2 and She Belongs To Me.

Both bootlegs are apparently from the same source tape. "Dead Man's Tape"
was only a part of Set 2 but was cleaner than "Greek Theatre".
"Greek Theatre" was complete but a bit hissy. Both bootleg versions had a
bad edit in Throwing->NFA, which is now repaired with Doug Oade's AUD.

Some of the between-song silence during Set1 has been edited -
this is already on the bootleg source.
