I recently met a fellow Deadhead in Adelaide and it turned out that at one time , from around 85 to 91, he'd been a taper, he wasnt that prolific, but he had recorded Dylan and Petty at Adelaide in 1986 and he had also caught CSN at the festival Theatre in 1991.

As far as I know there are no other recordings of this tour. He had reasonable equipment , a Sony recorder walkman with its own built in mic, and he made a very good job of this show ,even though he didn't have great seats.

Apart from a fair few mic bumps, rustling due to movement , this was pretty easy to sort out, it sounds very good ,theres quite a lot of laughter during the interludes between songs, but no chatter during songs at all. The guys are in great vocal form !!!!!! ( I didnt attend because they often could be dodgy vocally and also the festival theatre was, in those days, really bad acoustically for rock acts ) Im sorry I didnt go after hearing this recording.

There is virtually nothing to document this tour, no online reviews , no images, posters, tickets. The only thing I found were some backstage passes for the band members on eBay.
Amusingly , the taper went to a local hotel and found the three heroes enjoying some post chow refreshment, his request to sign some items was met with resentment by Nash ,Stills told him to fuck off and Crosby asked him to come back the next day ! However Steve redeemed himself to some extent by apologising afterwards !

lineage
Sony recorder walkman purchased in Japan in 1985 with built in mic or mics > Master tape transfer from Sony HF 90 tape ( I dont think lower end Sony walkmen could record to chromes at that time)

master tape transfer
Marantz SD 415 DECK> Mac pro 5.1 > Adobe audition 5.5 > minor multi band compression to add bottom end, the sound was rather thin, >acon digital declick to remove/lower applause> parametric and FFT filters to remove occasional mic bumps and rustles> the sound dropped after the audience cheered or called loudly during songs as I think the limiter was applied, this has been fixed and noise reduction applied on any extra hiss, its not hissy but it is an older recording. Left channel volume increased by 3+3b Flac transfer >XACT ( LEVEL 8 )
