The Old Waldorf
San Francisco, CA, USA

EX Soundboard cassette master. This show features many guests including
Country Joe McDonald, Mickey Hart, Sam Andrew, Righteous Raoul, Nicky
Hopkins, Merl Saunders, David Nelson, Harold Aceves and Mike Wilhelm.

There is a short seamless patch from an alternate 1st gen. soundboard
source at the beginning of Blindman and for the stage talk before that
song starts. (Fortunately, there were at least 2 different patches to
the soundboard for this show and I got a copy of my one cut song soon
after the show from the other source).

This is the first time that these shows have been torrented from a master
source and as you might expect, it all sounds much better than the previous versions.

It should be noted that Sam Andrew plays alto sax and not guitar.

Lineage: Soundboard > Sony TC-D5M > Dolby B encoded TDK MA90 metal tapes.
Patch source: Same as above with an extra generation of TC-D5M > Dolbe B encoded TDK MA90
tape. (The Dolby was left off for the original transfer from the master to the 1st gen. cassette.)

2011 Transfer: Nakamichi Dragon [Dolby B decoded] > Macintosh with Digidesign AudioMedia III soundcard >
Pro Tools ("nip and tuck" edits, normalization and tracking) > AIFF > xACT (FLAC level 8 files with
sector boundaries verified).

(Note: This will easily fit onto 3 discs if the 2 shows are divided up differently.)

And finally - special thanks to John Cipollina (RIP) who helped to make this master recording possible!
