Taper Notes:
View NotesI brought this back home with me from Arizona on a HD last june
and I finally got around to preparing it for CDr

What I have came from a DAT>ZA2>wav>(sound forge for cutting
to track size)>shn

All CD switches come at natural breaks in the sets.
Timings used are very close to those listed below from the
Dead Project but not precisely the same.

The last Jam in Set 2 is complete here and not cut like on the 
Dead Project list below. 

The sound mix differs from set 1 to set 2: Set 1 has everything
in the left or right channel with just about nothing in the 
middle of the sound picture. Whereas in Set 2 Jerry's gitar is moved
to the middle, better balancing things out.

Set 1 had a bit of hiss. I used 'Diamond Cut - Audio Restoration
Tools 32' to remove it. There was a stretch in the beginning
before Jerry starts playing where I could get a good sound sample
of the hiss for the removal.

Comments: show billed as "Mickey and the Heartbeats". 
Bobby and Pigpen were absent. (1) starts very much like the 
post-drums portion of Alligator, and contains a 
brief, Spanish Jam-like theme. It also contains many hints of 
Caution (Do Not Stop On Tracks). (2) cut here is 
likely quite small. (3) with Paul Butterfield on harmonica. 
(4) very similar to New Potato Caboose. My copy cuts at 
16:28, but there is clearly more.
