::: Middle o' the road AUD quality for the era. Check samples for disillusion or illumination.
::: Warts: Taper turned off recorder between songs & there are some late starts. #03 fades in & has splice in middle. "St.Stephen" cuts. Clapping in many places & some mike noises. Dropouts & dullspots & other issues not addressed, so they be here.
::: UPGRADES shn 118670 (CoolSonics 108) as this is mostly master tapes & has no cassette gen or Dolby in M1 part.
::: NOT the Recorder 1 "Ken & Judy Lee Port Chester Resurrection Project" source.
::: NOT the Recorder 2 "Jim Cooper" source.
::: At the time of this transfer, the last reel could not be found, so #14-17 are from an M1 reel.
::: Catfish with Bob Hodge opened the late show. A recording exists from this taper & now circulates.
::: Comments on Deadlists & db.etree.org say 'Friend Of The Devil' has different lyrics & 'Wake Up Little Susie' was an AUD request.
::: As Jerry calls 'em at one point, the audience is a bunch of "unruly freaks"! Just havin' a good time, you'll hear 'em.
::: Likely there are patches or possibilities to combine this with the other 2 sources in some way, so here 'tis.

Recording Information ::: unknown mono reel-to-reel recorder & mike -> master 3" reel-to-reel tapes -> unknown digital transfer, except #14-17 from 1st generation 7 1/2 IPS Maxell UD35-90 reel -> wavs.

Playback 2018-12-xx ::: M & M1 wavs -> Audacity (very little work done... some fades, popmute on clapping in a few places for volume control, minor volume adjustments, pitch (speed) OK on master reel transfers but M1 trax #14-17 used +0.8% fix with single pass after frequency analysis & with pitchpipe verification, no EQ or NR applied) -> CD Wave (track splits) -> Trader's Little Helper -> yr ears. First uploaded 2018-12-xx.

Line-up ::: Jerry Garcia - acoustic & electric guitars, vocals // Bob Weir - acoustic & electric guitars, vocals // Phil Lesh - electric bass, vocals // Mickey Hart - drums // Bill Kreutzmann - drums // Ron "Pigpen" McKernan - organ, percussion, vocals.

Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline.

CoolSonics 108 ::: Thanks to the original taper & the trader! My copy came from the Florida Kid, who borrowed these Port Chester reel masters from the original taper. ::: Corrections welcome ::: Primevil archival fodder from "Tiny But Mighty" Pot Chesta. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees
