Comment: Rex Benefit, FM Broadcast KPFA Berkeley. Quick level change at beginning of
Shakedown.

Notes: This was a great show for me opening with a scorching Shakedown Street.
From the first few minutes of the show I knew it was going to be a good Phil
show, as the Greeks usually were. The Morning Dew has a dangerous Phil note. Please
use with care!

I remember having a tough time getting set up the first night as I did not have
the real estate I wanted. After some bartering, nudgeing and kanoodling,
I was able to set one mic stand on the isle (which runs exactly through the middle
of the Greek) and clamped onto a friends stand about 13' to 14' down the row. Believe
it or not (oh that was the third day...) I would use a white piece of rope (capsule
to capsule) to try and judge if the mics were "close" to being on-axis to the speaker
arrays. The mics were essentially directly behind Dan Healy's mixing console.
From past experience I knew Dan would ride his right main fader to compensate for being
on the left hand side of the isle. Standing behind him was clearly the center.
I also intentionally chose the second row behind the soundboard due to the bands'
guests who often were chatty at the most inapropriate times!

There was nothing like a Greek Show. For anyone who saw the Dead at the Greek and for anyone
who wishes they had, this ones for you. Turn back the clock to a simpler time by dropping
disc one into your player and hearing a very good representation of what it sounded like at
the Greek this particular Friday night.

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

Note: The track listings for disc 2 and disc 3 in the original text file did not correspond exactly with the flac files, so I corrected and edited the text file track listing.

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.
