The previous weekend the tapers had been told not to try to go FOB at the Frost. Therefore Mike and Kenny chose to ride it out alongside Aaron's crew and patch in to their customized microphone, pre-amp and dbx noise reduction system. All the credit goes to Jaime Poris and James Olness who were some of the west coast tapers who comprised what I term the "second wave" of Grateful Dead recordists. These guys came of age in the late 1970's to early 1980's when the game was all about sneaking in the gear. By this time in 1986 Dan Healy had created the OTS (Official Tapers Section) and for certain tapers often correlated to certain venues this became a grand audio engineering experiment of "best practices" for recording live soundfields. The setup they used for these shows was a customized Nakamichi 700 microphone with each omni capsule placed into plexiglass plate for increased frequency response. Also using a custom microphone pre-amp instead of the onboard Sony TC-D5M preamps. This signal was fed into a dbx224 customized for battery power and then into a splitter box which had both a dbx and Dolby output. This recording's master originated from the dbx output side then decoded for this first gen copy. These are truly unique recordings which sound equally as good as all the fancy words spent describing the gear.
