some very minor editing to this show, mostly putting tasteful fades
where there were cuts in the original. No NR whatsoever was applied! 
Thanks again to theaforementioned folks, plus David Finney for hunting 
the show down in its best form... Leigh <orf@mailbag.com>]]]

>From www.Deadlists.com (some edits):

Early Show NRPS set with Garcia, pedal steel. This is about half their 
set -- all there is on the master. Before Last Lonely Eagle Marmaduke 
asks where's "Bobby Ace" -- probably Weir was a guest vocalist later 
in the set.  

Enterprising Fillmore East stagecrew patched a reel-to-reel machine
underneath the stage into the PA feed and saved most of this show for
us and eternity. They were busy setting up for the Early Show electric
Dead set and blew their flip during the Early Show NRPS set, losing
the second half of that set as a result, but the rest of this enormous
evening's proceedings are recorded in their entirety.

Late Show NRPS set with Garcia, pedal steel. Bob Weir guests on vocals 
for Mama Tried, Sawmill and Me And My Uncle. There is a brief cut in 
Sawmill, with less than 10 secondslost. 

Over the last year it has been rumored that there is another SBD master 
of this show in the vault, which includes the rest of the Early Show 
NRPS set (and which would probably allow us to patch the few other 
glitches on the circulating master); however, nothing has emerged 
besides rumors thus far. Meanwhile, we owe an enormous debt of gratitude 
to those resourceful Fillmore East crewmembers who took the bull by the 
horns and MADE TAPE. Muchas Garcias, guys.
