Notes shnid: 28716
Most currently circulating CDRs are partial selections from this show, many exclude
the NRPS set entirely and all seem to be missing "Fair Chance To Know". This version
is still missing most of "The Weight", "Dire Wolf", and the "Cold Jordan" encore.
Other than these defects it represents the complete show in the correct order and
excellent sound.

notes shnid: 97548
This is a combination of SHNID 28716 and an MP3 source of this medley, presumably
from the vault master reels. The MP3 source was released on 5/14/07 as part of David
Lemieux's Tapers Section series at dead.net. The MP3 source was publicly available
as a downloadable file for a short period of time, but I no longer have a copy
of it. I put this together for a party I threw in August of '07, and I am working
from memory as to its details.

The MP3 source provides a little tuning and the first few notes of New Speedway
Boogie, which are missing from all soundboard sources for this date. It also supplies
the applause, and the show-ending comments from the stage, including an
uncharacteristic outburst from a band member. I can't say for sure, but I'm almost
positive that member was Phil. A friend of mine was at this show, and the next time
I see him, I intend to ask him what might have prompted it. If anybody who reads
this was there and knows, please contact me. It certainly puts the energy and
intensity of what came before in a different perspective.

Oddly, the MP3 source (purportedly from the vault reel) contained a quite noticeable
cut in Not Fade Away. While I never got around to a note-by-note comparison of the
MP3 source and 28716, the NFA from 28716 seems to be intact, or has been repaired in
a way that I can neither hear, nor see in an audio editor.

Also, I seem to recall fixing a brief vocal digisnit in the opening segment of NSB.
I wish I could provide exact details, but I didn't think I was working for posterity
at the time.

This show has always stood in the shadow of the Fillmore East gig the following
night. In my opinion, it more than holds it own with 5/15, and the portion included
here is simply spectacular. It definitely gets my vote for Best Lovelight Ever. I am
happy to present thisin a relatively complete form.

Combination notes:
Shnid=97548 is comprised of the final 6 tracks of the show and was created as a
patch for shnid=28716. I replaced these tracks with this patched version.

Comment:
Phi's show ending comment mentioned above, "Fuck the pigs!", can be understood in the
context of the time. This show occured 10 days after the Kent State shootings.
College campuses across the country had erupted in protests and general strikes.
The May tour consisted primarily of Northeastern college campuses. Being that the
band had played a free concert at MIT just days before in support of the student
protests, there can be little to no doubt that the Dead were caught up in the
emotions of the day.

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of 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.
