On 8/8/01, seeder Bill Gadsden reported the following to BUDD:

Buddy Miller, who taped the 1/4 track SBDs of the 4/71 NRPS and
Grateful Dead run at the Fillmore East, did no taping the first
night, the 25th. He began taping on the 26th with Big Boss Man, in
the Dead’s first set. He didn’t tape the 26th NRPS set. The following
night, the 27th, he started taping with the second part of the NRPS
set, beginning with Lodi. On the 28th and 29th, he taped complete
NRPS sets. What has circulated heretofore is 2nd half 27th NRPS,
complete 28th & 29th NRPS, and an erroneous 2nd half 26th NRPS. The
erroneous 26th piece was my error. Unlabelled reel box that I assumed
to be from the 26th was actually a bunch of songs from the 28th &
29th. I had not originally (28 years ago) asked Miller specific
questions about what he had taped and not taped. Only did so a year
ago.

This was made clear when I recently discovered that a second tape
deck was running for all FIVE nights of the NRPS shows, just the NRPS
as it turns out. When I listened to 4/26, it did not match up with
the earlier piece that I believed to be from 4/26. Upon closer
examination, the earlier 4/26 was shown to be bogus.

patch source used shnid 105815 – Thank you David Gans and Charlie Miller.

– Pitch corrected
– The dropout in “Goin’ Down The Road” has been repaired by increasing the gain in the left channel and removing some artifacts. It does not have the same degree of fidelity as the right channel though.
– A number of level adjustments have been made.

Thanks to Will Boswell for providing his copy.
