Wang Dang Doodle | 1983-10-31 | Grateful Dead

View Notes- Of at least 165 live versions, the GD played St. Stephen 3 times in 83, returning it on 10/11 after a 352 show hiatus,
the last version being 1/10/79. They played another version on 10/15, and then this one, which is the last live performance.
- Nak700 aud used for first few minutes of Wang Dang Doodle, a few seconds in Deal, and throughout the show, tuning between some tunes
- The weird sound in the first minute of Peggy-O is one the sbd and the aud, the fans heard it.

I made the transition between CDs 2 and 3 seamless.  SBEs resulting from the fix were fixed and verified using shntool.  Overlapping fade tracks were added to the end of CD 2 and the beginning of CD 3.  For seamless playback simply remove the fade tracks.

Taper Notes:

View Notesthe 1st 2:36 of "Wang Dang Doodle" sounds like some sort of a matrix mix, with the Audience source most prominent, the mix then changes to one where the Soundboard source is predominant.
