Notes:
This is a previously uncirculated soundboard direct recording of this show. It was recorded in mono onto two 10" 1/4 track reels at 7.5ips. It is 100% complete, from John Scher's introduction prior to the acoustic set right through to the P.A. music following the 3rd set encore. All three sets run seamlessly with nothing missing.

This was recorded surreptitiously from a monitoring feed in one of the executive offices at RCMH. This entire recording is a single source, with the lone exception of a 29 second sequence (during Althea 4:28 -> 4:57), where the reels were changed. My old friend Kieth Gatto's audience recording (id 120537) was used to patch that song to completion.

The only other downside is that Garcia's vocal could be brighter and louder at times. It is otherwise a very clear recording that captures everything relatively well, including a lot of stage banter between songs. You can even hear the hilarious off-mic banter between band members. I usually don't bother tracking out the downtime, but since its not just crowd noise and at times lengthy, I did in this case.

I've wanted to share this recording for a long time, but a track or two was officially released and the bonus tracks on the Dead Ahead DVD are also sourced from this show, so it prevented me from sharing this at the usual places. My nephew Stu, who often shares my recordings for me, tried making a case for it being an alternate source and different mix than anything that was officially issued, but it was a no go.

I'd like nothing better than to get this to anyone who'd enjoy it, especially since only audience recordings seem to circulate, but maybe sharing it now will at least get that ball rolling.   Alan - October 2007
