mkw notes:
—> This recording is afflicted with a dozen or two very brief
(tenths of seconds) PCM dropouts. While that is unfortunate,
this appears to be the best recording of 4/24/71 in circulation.
—> Good Lovin’ is *not* cut (contrary to deadbase)

Tracking note:
The following statement was included with the MKW notes:
—> I moved Casey Jones D2 to D1. While the file names within the
md5 files have changed, the md5 signatures themselves have not.
However, this is not the case with this source. The apparent original
tracking remains unchanged. This show can be burned by set rather than
by the given tracking.

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

This is a re-tagged version of shnid: 143958

This is a 16/48 fileset. 24-bit > 16-bit via dBpoweramp

Source Info:
Master 7″ 1/2 track Soundboard Reels @ 7.5 ips > Will Boswell’s Reels >
Matt Smith’s 2nd generation Reels

There is speculation that there may be an additional reel generation before
Will Boswell’s Reels (Garcia’s?) and that this may be part of the Debbie Stash

Notes:
– Thanks to Matt Smith for the source and transfer
– Thanks to Charlie Miller for coordinating this effort
– Multiple drop outs found on shnid2579 are not present on this transcription
– Thanks to Joe B. Jones for his assistance with the pitch correction
– Beginning of “Truckin'” clipped
– “All this fuckin’ around has put our instruments out of tune”
– “This here is a song about an asshole”

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

comment:
This was my first show on a picture perfect spring day. The Dead were
headliners to what Duke billed as Joe College Weekend. Preceeding the
Dead were the Paul Butterfiled Blues Band and The Beach Boys.The show
closed with the Dead and Beach Boys jamming together on stage. The
visual contradiction spoke volumes. The Beach Boys in their matching
blue & white pin stipe suites & straw hats, along side The Dead. Well
you know the times they were a changing. Needless to say, it was very
unique indeed to hear The Dead playing surfer tunes. Too bad that encore
performance apparetnly has not been preserved.
