View NotesNotes:
- Thanks to Bob Wagner for the master cassette source. Bob and Barry Glassberg taped the Spring '80 shows together, they each had one Nakamichi 700 mic and each had a D5 deck. They ran their individual mics together as a pair and each recorded a master on their respective D5's. One night Bob was the lead deck, the next night Barry was the lead deck. Bob does not recall who was the lead deck on which nights.
- Thanks to Charlie Miller for the transfer and coordinating this effort
- Thanks to Andrew F for the AKG 414 source which supplies a 0:15 patch in "Drums"
- Thanks to Joe B. Jones for his assistance with the pitch correction

Recorded By Mason Taylor on a Nakamichi 550 Cassette Deck, on chrome tapes, with Nakamichi microphones

Taper Notes:

View Notes"Mason B. Taylor was a taper from Chicago that recorded concerts by many bands in the Chicagoland area and on Dead tours. He used a Nakamichi 550 with Nakamichi 300 mics with shotgun capsules for most of his earlier recordings. In later years he used Sony D-5 and Sony D-3 cassette recorders with Nakamichi 300 mics.

Mason captured spectacular musical moments and loved to share them with his closest friends. In honor of Mason and all the love he put into his recordings we are now able to share these moments with those who can appreciate them most.

As the shows get uploaded we would love for you to share your stories about the epic times the music evokes so we can all dial back into that moment when the magic was happening.

Thanks to Mason’s family and his Chicago and Cleveland friends for opening up Mason’s Jar…"

Editing of .wavs was limited to crossfading cassette flips between songs, no 
music was disturbed

Known Flaws:
The sound on Alabama Getaway is a bit muffled, but gradually gets better
