Grateful Dead

September 20, 1988
Madison Square Garden,
New York, NY
Sets I & II


From the Gastwirt Collection (remaster of source #138359)

Robert Bryant recording (patched out of Oade Brothers): Schoeps CMC4 MK41 > PCM > DAT

Charlie Miller Transfer: Dat (Sony PCM-R500) > Sound Devices 744T > Flac 16/44

Edited & Mastered in Audacity by Joe Noel: Flac 16/44

Checksum & tags created in xACT.

reMaster notes:
- lineage has been confirmed.
- the first 30 seconds or so of s1t01 on source DAT was water damaged, that portion was dropped & replaced with a patch from 90977.
- s1t01 levels were on the high side, causing saturation as the band went into Jack Straw.  This was normalized -4.0db
- All digi static has been patched.
- I used a different patch source for greater transparency.
- no pitch correction was performed

Notes:
- Night six of a nine night run at the world's most famous arena.
- This night was the one for me.
- Caught the entire run from BTS, it was a great dance party.
- Who remembers the Lindy's afterparty??  (More Nitrous!!  More Nitrous!!)

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files.
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be stripped,
however audio data will remain unaffected. If you must
transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use ffp or st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
