Not a lot happening here one way or the other. It’s a Monday-Tuesday night, Jerry sounds a little tired, even Corley’s tape from the 10th sounds a little muffled.

JGMF:

! Recording: symbols: % = recording discontinuity; / = clipped song; // = cut song; … = fade in/out; # = truncated timing; [m:ss] = recorded event time. The recorded event time immediately after the song or item name is an attempt at getting the “real” time of the event. So, a timing of [m:ss] right after a song title is an attempt to say how long the song really was, as represented on this recording.

! R: field recordist: John Corley

! R: field recording gear: 2x disassembled Nak 700s clipped to brim of the “Silly Hat” > Sony TCD5M

! R: field recording location: 20′ from stage, first row of tables, dead center

! R: lineage: MAC > ? > CDR > EAC > CDWave (retracked) > Shn. EAC’d / retracked / Shn’d by Charlie Connor. Correct sector boundaries verified with Shntool. Seeded to fungus, tol and abgd 2/5/03. Special thanks to Bob Menke for the audio discs

! R: muffled out of the gate

! P: s1t02 CUTS comes out sluggishly, Jer sounds a little tired.

! R: s1t07 Think cuts in

! R: s2t01 HTC cuts in

! P: s2t01 HTC everyone stops pedaling, and they all almost fall over at 9:28. Don’t stop pedaling – you’ll fall over!

! R: s2t03 Splice at 8:51 tightened up using Steinberg’s Wavlab

! P: s2t04 RAC I am as big a fan of this tune as one can be, but Jer sounds a little tired for sure. Sluggish. I am revisiting this after a bit, and I hear how buried the vocals are.

! setlist: somehow we have always Mid Moon as the show closer, but it is demonstrably TUIB.

! s2t07 (2) JG: “Thanks a lot. See ya later.”

JGMF:

! Recording: symbols: % = recording discontinuity; / = clipped song; // = cut song; … = fade in/out; # = truncated timing; [ ] = recorded event time. The recorded event time immediately after the song or item name is an attempt at getting the “real” time of the event. So, a timing of [x:xx] right after a song title is an attempt to say how long the song really was, as represented on this recording.

! R: field recordist: Tazuo Yamaguchi

! R: field recording gear: 1x Nakamichi 100 > Sony TC-D5M

! R: field recording location: 5′ from stage

! R: Transfer and FLAC encoding by David Minches: Master played back on Nak Dragon> Grace Lunatec V3 (24/96) > Digital Audio Labs Card Deluxe > Adobe Audition 2.0 > (dither/downsample) > FLAC encoding.

! P: JG sounds tired (somewhat ragged vocals), but the show has energy. STOF quite rough vox. I think the tape isn’t doing his voice any justice, either, since it is just capturing direct from Garcia’s mouth rather than through the PA, I’d guess. The low vox of an upfront aud.

! R: s1t01 HSII beginning cut

! R: s2t01 HTC beginning cut

! P: s1t04 STOF no bass solo

! P: s1t06 JG flubs first verse of ISBR. But he is singing very delicately and thoughtfully here. 

! R: S1t01 Deal end clipped

! R: s2t01 HTC cuts in

! P: s2t01 HTC comes out much more peppily.

! P: s2t02 Forever Young sounds pretty out of it, but in that endearing, “Jerry’s struggling” way, not the “he’s out of it” way.

! P: s2t05 DP pretty good guitar solo in the 5-min mark.

! P: s2t06 Melvin’s church organ is so perfect for this song

! s2t07 (1) JG: “Thanks a lot. See y’all later.”
