[[[Note by Leigh Orf, who uploaded this show to orp.etree.org: I did
some very minor editing to this show, mostly putting tasteful fades
where there were cuts in the original. No NR whatsoever was applied! I
also removed the mysterious double-strum near the beginning of Don't
Ease Me In (sounded like a digital thing)... Thanks again to the
aforementioned folks, plus David Finney for hunting the show down in its
best form... Leigh <orf@mailbag.com>]]]

This is the 2nd etree copy in circulation. It has one fewer tape
generations than the first copy, and it has the complete NRPS 2nd set.

From www.Deadlists.com (some edits):

Enterprising Fillmore East stagecrew patched a reel-to-reel machine
underneath the stage into the PA feed and saved most of this show for
us and eternity. They were busy setting up for the Early Show electric
Dead set and blew their flip during the Early Show NRPS set, losing
the second half of that set as a result, but the rest of this enormous
evening's proceedings are recorded in their entirety. The master has
only the left channel through the middle of Candyman (there are also
splitter-generated 2-channel mono copies circulating). Around 4 hours of
this show were broadcast by KPFA-FM Berkeley in 1971, further speeding
the propagation of this tape (some early FM copies are dated "6/21/71;"
this may be the date of the broadcast). For many years 5/15/70 was THE
representative 1970 Dead tape -- Harpur College 5/2/70 and Winterland
10/4/70 its only rivals for wide circulation.

Early Show Acoustic Dead set-
-On Cumberland and New Speedway David Nelson joins in on acoustic guitar
while Jerry shifts to electric.
-On Cold Jordan Nelson switches to mandolin. Marmaduke adds harmony vocals
-to the last three tunes. Pigpen plays organ on New Speedway.

Early Show NRPS set-
-with Garcia, pedal steel.
-This is about half their set -- all there is on the master. Before Last
Lonely Eagle Marmaduke asks where's "Bobby Ace" -- probably Weir was a
guest vocalist later in the set.

Early Electric Dead-
Before St. Stephen Pigpen says "Alright you people, youknow who you are."


Late Show Acoustic Dead-
David Nelson plays mandolin on I Hear A Voice Callin and Marmaduke adds
bass vocals.

Late Show NRPS set-
-with Garcia,pedal steel.
-Bob Weir guests on vocals for Mama Tried, Sawmill and Me & My Uncle.
-There is a brief cut in Sawmill, with less than 10 seconds lost.
-After this set the master contains 15:13 of continuing signal,
comprising parts of Side B of Abbey Road (playing on the PA during
the break) interspersed with the sounds of the stage being rigged --
drums nailed down, etc -- followed by the sounds of tuning up.

Late Show Electric Dead-
-Beat It On Down The Line gets 14 beats.
-There is a cut 2:17 into St. Stephen; probably around 60 - 90 seconds
are missing here.
-There is a cut 13:33 into Lovelight, but probably only a few seconds are
lost.

Over the last year it has been rumored that there is another SBD master
of this show in the vault, which includes the rest of the Early Show NRPS
set (and which would probably allow us to patch the few other glitches on
the circulating master); however, nothing has emerged besides rumors thus
far. Meanwhile, we owe an enormous debt of gratitude to those resourceful
Fillmore East crewmembers who took the bull by the horns and MADE TAPE.
Muchas Garcias, guys.

Tracking notes:
The last 4 songs of the NRPS late set were included twice with this source.
The songs marked "1st copy" seem to have a bit less tape hiss. I tagged
both, then placed the "first copy" in a separate folder. Since the songs
are not tracked the same, you will need to use one or the other to play
the full set.

Flac encoding notes:
All processing with Trader's Little Helper
Shn - st5 generated
Shn > Flac ( level 8 )
Flac - st5 generated and matched to Shn st5

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 st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
