Opening for the Grateful Dead on New Years Eve, the band shines greatly on this one! Many special guests make it even more appealling!

I transferred a master AUD tape, Sony UCX-S 90 Metal, for those counting. It is not mine, but recorded by a friend who gave it to me as a gift! I am sort of out of touch with this kind fellow, so I don't recall what type of mics he used for this, but the deck was a D-5.

With a little net research, I have discovered only one other source in cirrulation. According to someone that has heard them both is the other one has better sound on the instruments, but mine is better on the vocals. All in all, he gives mine a better rating, so this is the best in cirrulation.

One last note, I did no EQ'ing or editing. This is pure recording of what the twenty one year old tape sounds like. As you will hear, it is still in amazing shape!

Please enjoy and feel free to spread it far and wide!
