Notes

Tech Notes: This is the first show I have ever recorded.
The quality reflects this fact. I was in the tapers section this
night and had to have looked like quite the fool. First off I had
an at-822 mic, which is a stereo microphone. Pushy salesman
that really had no idea what my application was going to be.
I might as well of gotten a mic from Radio Shack for $1.00 and
I would have the same quality, basically. Second mistake, only having
the D8 handle the mic preamp duties (also plugged into the line in
not the mic in), and what is a wind screen, never heard of that.
So the gear is sub standard and my idea of taping is quite off.
I lined up way off center, and the whole night I'm messing with the
height of the mic stand, not knowing that everytime you move the
mic a horrible sound results. Here I am with the most prolific and
professional tapers, The Grateful Dead Tapers Section, with bad
equipment and moving the mic constantly. What a fool I must of looked
like. For audiophiles this recording is impossible to listen to, but
I still archived it because, well, it's my first recording, and that
deserves it's spot in the archive for that reason alone.
Normalized +15.63dB; resampled from 48kHz to 44.1 kHz. The rain began
with "Jack-A-Roe" and with that begins the up and down of the mic stand,
causing major booming sounds. It continues through "Minglewood". "Down
The Road Again" is cut. Bird Song has stand movement throughout, and
it is cut at the end because of excessive movement of the mic stand.
Playin' thru Fire and Drumz thru Playin' are decent, the rest is horrible.

Show Notes: Besides the fact that I really had no business in the tapers
section that night, It was nice to see the old crowd again. The scene
was still about the same in 1998 as it had been in 1995, granted scaled
down. I actually was able to talk to people I haven't scene since 1995
or before. However that's were the simularities end. Inside a guy I was
standing next to at one point had a girlfriend with him, and he actually
said to her, "This is just like a Dead Show". Naturally I didn't say anything
to him, but he was way off the mark. Sorry boys, but the local dead cover
band does better covers, than this incarnation did all tour. Still, music aside,
getting all back together with fellow deadheads was a real treat.
