This recording was done to capture as much as possable.
There were no tape flips requiring fast forwarding or
rewinding during the actual recording. Side A of the first
tape was recorded then Side A of the second cassette.
Everything was then fast forwarded at the break and the
B Sides were recorded. Very little crowd noise has
been removed. For the second set Side B of second tape was
used first, then Side B of the first tape. This would leave
most of the blank tape on Side A of the second tape, which
I would then wind past where the set ended to get the encore.
Didn't count on two so there is a split in Baby Blue.
It wouldn't be Grateful Dead without long pauses between tunes.
Location: In the pavillion about 5 rows and to the right of the SBD.
