Notes:
- Terrific show. Garcia is ripping off some extremely raunchy stuff, such as
the second solo in Tangled Up (around 5:40) -- cover your ears!! But there's also
some nice intricate stuff (Mississippi Moon, Russian Lullaby) and a perfectly
executed, unique transition from Deal to Midnight Moonlight. Nice Stuff!
- Jim Vita's first tape, AFAIK, though I believe he may have been patched out o
someone else. Generally good tape, but with lots of level fluctuations, some
beginnings clipped, and an intermittent static buzz in the right channel. There
is lots of loud talking and cheering throughout ... shhhh!!
- d1t01 TWLWMYD cuts in
- R-channel buzzing/crackling/static from d1t01 @ 10:18 through d1t02 @ 10:55
- d1t04 How Sweet cuts in
- d1t04 How Sweet levels increase at 5:45, go back down but there is some distortion for awhile.
- d1t05 Tangled Up major level fluctuations first minute or so. Buzzing returns @ d1t05 @ 1:17
- d2t02 Harder They Come level fluctuations first minute or so.
- d2t05 Russian Lullaby levels go way up @ 1:51
