Taper Notes:

View Notesthis is a remaster of the sources from shnid 17893

the sbd, source 1, provides Me & My Uncle to the end of the show, the rest is from source 2, a Jack Toner aud recording.

I haven't touched the sbd section,  other than to tweak the patch in Dancin' and re-encode to flac, but I did feel that the aud section could be improved.  It still suffers from the dropouts, etc but I think that the sound is now better.

--the SBD (source 1) provides the acoustic set and Me & My Uncle to the end of the show.   Source 2 is from a Jack Toner AUD recording, and provides the NRPS set.  The rest of the Dead's electric set is from source 3, which is also derived from the Toner AUD. 

alternate tracking:
--the entire New Riders set can be placed onto one disc.   The Dead's acoustic set can be placed at the beginning of what would be "d2" of this shn set, allowing the Dead's portion of the show to fit onto two discs total.

notes:
--Jerry aborts Black Peter midway, probably because of monitor problems
--from Sugar Magnolia through Drums, there are problems that cause frequent dropouts/fluctuations in recording levels, possibly from strain on the tape from movement during the concert.  
--this is the latest known It's A Man's, Man's World (as of Jun '03)
--this is the earliest known Till The Morning Comes (as of Jun '03)
--tape flip at 2:11 in Till The Morning Comes
--warble at the beginning of Me & My Uncle
--small AUD patch over glitch in Dancin' at 5:06
--Tighten Up Jam in Dancin' starting at 8:40
--Sound Forge was used for normalization and minor pitch adjustments
