total time is 3:07:14

Notes:
-- Donna Godchaux does not sing in this show
-- pitch correction and mastering by Monte Barry using Samplitude Pro ver 7.22

This is a matrix of shnid 122508 (source 1 AUD) and shnid 116498 (source 2 SBD)
-- the AUD is the pitch and sync source for the entire matrix
-- the SBD was synched in segments by using pitch correction in resample mode

Matrix mixing:
-- AUD source 1 is mixed at -5.0 db
-- SBD source 2 is mixed at 0 db

Patches, repairs, and flaws:
-- Me And Bobby McGee track is SBD only (not taped on the AUD source)
-- several tiny tape screeches were removed from one channel of the AUD (tiny tape creases?)
-- Weather Report Suite is AUD only for one minute from ~ 14:20 to 15:20
-- Dark Star AUD material is missing from the first 39 seconds
-- Wharf Rat SBD material is missing from 8:07 to 8:30 (unable to sync)

Matrix Source 1 - shnid 122508 details:
-- added to db.etree on 10/23/2012

Source:
-- taper Adam G.
-- mic used unknown
-- taped on a Sony TC-126 deck with CRO2 tape, no dolby

Lineage:
-- Cassette > Nakamichi Dragon > Sony PCMR300 Dat (16/44.1) > Sound Forge equalization & normalization

The taper had Garcia's and the band's permission to record, and was able to record very close to the stage. It doesn't appear to circulate very much, although some known dat copies were made in the mid-1990s. This is from a transfer the taper did in 1998, burned to CD.

Notes:
