this is a digital copy of a master stereo audience recording made with 2xnak300 mics into a sony tcd5m.

Taper Notes:

View Notesi recorded about 10 grateful dead shows from 1978-1981. some have
disappeared. i always assumed someone made a better tape than i
did so i never uploaded them. i might have made copies for people.

this is a pretty good recording. i think i made it just under the balcony.
the crowd is quiet, no real intrusions.  the 2nd set sound changed at
the beginning. not sure if it was my equipment of the pa system.
this show is a solid 3 hours.

i do remember that i security guard saw me at some point either
before the show or  at set break and demanded $ to record.
i think  i gave him $5 or $10.

as always, might not be tracked correctly, might blow out your
speakers or ear drums.

Recorded By Mason Taylor on a Nakamichi 550 Cassette Deck, on crome tapes, with Nakamichi microphones; mics spread 15' on lip of lower balcony onto Maxell Metal tapes

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…"

Deal will fit on the end of disc 1 with about an 18 second overburn.

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the headerof each flac file. 
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files. 
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be stripped, 
however audio data will remain unaffected. 
If you must transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use ffp to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
