U.S. Blues | 1983-08-31 | Grateful Dead

View NotesNotes:
- Thanks to Rob Eaton for the source Dat
- Thanks to Charlie Miller for the transfer
- First soundboard source for this date (Dec 2017)
- Thanks to the folks responsible for the shnid84934 Sennheiser 421 source which supplies a 0:23 patch in "Althea", a 0:56 patch in the transition out of the post space jam into "Truckin'", some crowd and the first few seconds of "Satisfaction" (0:14 total), as well as the final 0:51 of "Satisfaction"
- None of the patch sources were a particularly good match (all seem to be variations of the same source), did what I could
- Between song transitions smoothed
- Not really a "Space" segment per se, more of a thematic Jam
- Truckin' noodle included in "Truckin'"
- Mighty fine show, especially the 2nd set

Taper Notes:

View NotesNotes: When I lived in Oregon in 1983 I was able to copy this source from a
local taper. I only wrote "D5" and "NR Off" on the J-card, and forgot to
write down what mics he used, although I believe it was likely Sennheisers.
The levels on the master were run somewhat hot, which is noticeable in a few
spots. The right mic dropped out for the first 1:43 of Me & My Uncle, so I
patched over it with the wav's from the left channel. The tape flip in the
second set is patched from the LAMA source, making the second set seamless.
Soundforge was used to create fades, adjust levels, repair around the tape
flips, to correct the pitch for the patched-in bits, and to do the patching.

Patches from LAMA's Aud source:
0:00 to 0:11 of Alabama Getaway
1:41 to 1:43 of Me & My Uncle
0:00 to 0:16 of Cold Rain & Snow
1:25 to 1:32 of Truckin Intro Jam
