Recorded by Scott Bernstein and Geoff Tischman with Eliot Byron's mics (it's not clear if Eliot was at this show personally or not)
Transferred (10/2010), mastered, and tracked (12/2010) by Scott Bernstein

Glitches:  .056 second dropout at 4:43 + .032 second dropout 4:45 into S2T5 have both been cleanly removed so that they are completly inaudible; .064 second dropout at 6:57 + .031 second dropout immediately aftewards in S2t10 have been removed and are nearly inaudible (bonus points to your golden ear if you can hear it)

Taper notes:
BARN67 exactly the stuff in the BARN series I really savor getting to -- a never-before-circulated, and frankly, hardly-listened-to recording of a once favorite band of mine.  Not only is this recording just incredible sonically, it's historically important, with a slew of brand new tunes played within a week of their introduction (though the record is currently a little hazy over how many times each had been played before this show -- the show exactly a week before this one on archive only contains the first set).  Some of these tunes became GSW glassics (Mile By Mile, Into The Sea, and arguably Run To You and Ballroom) and some of them, not so much (Miss Leonardo)  Either way, I present to you a spectacular-sounding timecapsule of GSW as they introduce a whole slew of new songs to their NYC fanbase!

Songs of particular note:  A stupidly great version of Stupid Hat, the cool segue into Nightengale, an all-out rockin'Stone House (already on-fire as a set closer), a jammin' Gretchen that really spotlights Tomo's drumming, and a raging Morning Cigarette.


Enjoy!

Scott
