Note:
I don’t normally circulate shows with any cuts or edits but this is a
good recording and I have not come across a better capture, so…. two tracks
have starts missing (a few seconds) and are marked by “Fade In”.

Also “Connswater” and “Summertime” are spoiled somewhat by a Whistling cretin
who felt the need to demonstrate his skills throughout both numbers, wish I could
have got my hands on him, he wouldn’t have whistled at another show !

JEMS is pleased to continue our series of master transfer releases from our longtime comrade, MS.

MS started his taping in the late ’70s, and while he was extremely active covering the Grateful Dead out west, he branched beyond as well, recording hundreds of shows over the last 35 years. His base rig was a pair of Nakamichi 700 microphones (often on a pole) and a Sony D5 recorder, and with his years of experience taping the Dead, he worked harder than many to find the sweet spot and get his mics up and away from the audience when possible. He doubled up several shows that JEMS also recorded, but often times MS had the superior location and the better gear.

The MS Archive series resumes with a terrific sounding Talking Heads show from 1983 that’s superior to JEMS previously torrented recording of the same show. Yes, yes, the set list is ostensibly identical to soundtrack to Stop Making Sense, but that was the nature of this tour and doesn’t detract from a performance that made a huge impression on me when I was in high school. In fact, I attended this show and took the SATs the next morning.

Thanks to BLG for his help in mastering and finishing this recording. With his help, our releases from the MS archive should accelerate.

This was recorded by a guy named “Island”, he mostly taped shows on VHS-C
type video, but after meeting me, and collecting audio tapes, he was inspired to bring an audio deck to this show.
Good thing too, because he was too close and the audio was very distorted on
the video, so I dubbed this sound to sync to the video.
there is 25 minutes of video total, but I will need to do a new transfer before it can be shared. It will be posted to youtube with the rest of Island’s video that I have copied from his masters.

I can’t explain why the audio is so clear other than this was festival
Seating and he was very close. I don’t think it was on a high quality deck or
mics but still sounds excellent.
I doubt this recording has ever been circulated before.

Enjoy
