"Mountain Aire II"

This was originally seeded in Nov. 2008. I updated the original text file to include a link to El Rayo's set from the next day which I posted yesterday.

The md5 and ffp are unchanged.

Lineage:
SBD/"in house FM" -> unknown receiver -> Sony D5 -> Nakamichi CR-1A -> Mac Pro with Sound Studio -> FLAC (using xAct)

Taper: Jason W.

Mountain Aire II was a two day affair produced by Bill Graham. David Lindley & El Rayo-X opened the show followed by Santana and the Grateful Dead were the headliners.

For a short time in the late 80's the Grateful Dead's sound man Dan Healy would broadcast an FM signal to speakers in the hallway or the delay stacks at larger venues. If you were able to tune in to the "broadcast" you could tape the show.

That's how this tape was made.

Jason said, "I was able to patch in 2nd in the line at least one day. A taper had a boom box and we took the FM feed off the headphone's output. So, I have to give him credit, too."

My tape is a first gen. cassette off of Jason's master.

The only flaws are:

occasional "static bursts" - I don't know whether these were caused by the guy with the boom box fine tuning the signal or if it was caused by some other interference.

The volume fluctuates slightly at the very beginning but settles down right away.

Also, the tape flip occurred during the drums in Brother John. I have done my best to put the two segments back together using Sound Studio.
