*The NEW track (d2T01.NEW) contains a patch for the famous "Jones Gang" introduction to 
set 2. This has been patched to contain the complete intro from a quite good audience 
tape (AUD: MR> C> C -- not a completely reliable sourcing, but close enough for its 
purpose here). The crowd is prominent, and the AUD is fun because they're absolutely 
nuts. In fact, the whole show circulates in AUD and it's recommended.

There are two .md5 files for d2. The first (gd77-11-04d2.md5) contains the original 
tracks. The second .md5 file (gd77-11-04d2NEW.md5) contains checksum information for 
the new track ONLY. You should when burning choose either d2t01.shn (no patch) 
OR d2t01.NEW.shn (with AUD patch), but not both.

New track seeded by braverman@earthlink.net, 2/01.

The following was posted by the Undernet sometime after the initial seeding.  
braverman@earthlink.net wholeheartedly concurs, but suggests respectfully that the authors 
read more widely than middle-period Hunter Thompson.

gd77-11-04 - Jones Gang@Colgate University Homecoming      

This seed slipped into the 'tree under the radar from the alt.dead crew last month 
without the fanfare this Royal Assblaster deserves. The crazily fast, tight mania that 
crackles off of this show will leave you breathless and exhausted after a full listen.  

A good show to compare this to would be 77.05.04. While both shows exhibit the signature 
'77  hyperdelic cocaine soundstamp -- 05.04 is a nice moonlit, redwine convertible ride 
compared to the violent psychic enema the Dead gave these undergraduates that magical 
night at Colgate. The  blistering solos during this Eyes of the World alone will make 
every effort to toss you bodily over The Cliff.  

This one will clean the tubes right out -- never mind the initial pressure behind the 
eyes and those leering insectoid midgets as the skein of space/time unravels, just hang 
ON to your faces, loyal SHNarvesters, this is some ride...
