The Spectrum
Philadelphia, PA

This is one of the best shows from a woefully neglected tour. Garcia's playing in the first set in particular (Jack Straw! Franklin's Tower! Mama Tried! Big River!!!) is absolutely frenetic.

Patches from Stephen Porter's cassette, front row of the taper's section: AUD:Nak 300/Sony D5> Nak BX-300 playback> Peak> AIFF

1. d1t1: until the first verse of Jack Straw, comments from Weir welcoming radio listeners, the decision to play Jack Straw instead of Feel Like a Stranger, and correcting level variations in the first 0:30 of the song.

2. d1t6: the first two lines of the song. The first verse still contains minor level variations.

Thanks to Lee for the disks. Conversion, retracking, patching, and seeding by Peter Braverman (braverman@earthlink.net).
