28 June 1981
Earls Court
London, England

LB-5271, (75min+48min), Legendary Taper D recording. Received as audio CD-R third generation from taper., DAT recording but no details on lineage. Excellent sound. Clear and, upfront. Less chatter than LB-492 (different source), but not as warm., A matter of personal taste., Enjoy, -ts-; bittorrent download 08/07; different recording than LB-492 based on different crowd at begin of d2t8; in comparison this has a slight hiss noticable on d2t8 which makes it less clear and this is also a little harsher; both have sound that improves over beginning of show; (did not listen to all of this)

BobTalk

Thank you, Maggie’s Farm. I think it still exists. (after Maggie’s Farm) This is a new song off a forthcoming record album. I hope it’s on the album anyway.
It’s called Dead Man, Dead Man When Will You Arise. I wrote quite a few new songs I thought I’d play them because I don’t know how much longer I’ll be playing new songs. People wanna hear the old songs. I was thinking of cutting out all the new songs. So I can play, I’m gonna play just older stuff. This time here in London I’m gonna play all the new songs so in case they never get heard again. Dead Man, Dead Man When Will You Arise.

Thank you. We gonna play you another, this is Carolyn Dennis. Who’s gonna sing a song called Walking Around Heaven All Day. Carolyn Dennis. [Carolyn Dennis: “I’d like to dedicate this to Bob and all the members in the band and especially Miss Clydie King.”]

We’re gonna play a real old song here. A song I used to sing before I used to write any songs. I used to sing this in the Troubadour. I don’t know if that club is still called The Troubadour? Well it’s the same way we used to sing it then, hasn’t changed a bit. (before Mary From The Wild Moor)

Thank you. Thank you for coming tonight. I wanna introduce the lady on the lady on the left one more time, Miss Carolyn Dennis. Standing next to her is Madelyn Quebec, Regina McCreary, Clydie King. On the keyboards tonight, Willie Smith. Playing the guitars tonight, on my right, Fred Tackett, playing the other guitar is Steve Ripley. On the bass guitar tonight, from Cincinnati Ohio, the walls of Jericho, Tim Drummond. On the drums, a legend in his own time for real, Jim Keltner. All right now, I hope we can come back here next year. I know we’ll be here tomorrow night and the night after that. We can’t come over here enough. Thank you. (at the end of In The Garden)

Notes: – Master paused between some songs in s1. – First few notes of Esau missing. – The last bit of Drums is cut. – See note above for tape info after Drums. – ‘Addams Family’ tuning before ‘Masterpiece.’ – Final version of ‘My Brother Esau.’ — Thanks to Jeff for sharing his master/transfer! — Thanks to Gene Juteau for sending his Cass/1 at the time of the transfer. All discs extracted in secure/range mode, seamlessly joined to one file and re-tracked by set. Enjoy!

OldNeumanntapr Notes: This was one of my favorite recordings. 1987 was the first Grateful Dead Shoreline shows. They were scheduled to play there in ’86, right after Ventura, but that entire tour was cancelled when Jerry went into the hospital. I still have the advertisement from the pink section of the SF Chronicle from the aborted Shoreline ’86 shows, as well as the GDTS information sheet from Ventura ’86. (I had to send in my mail order tix for a refund.) A lot of people dislike Shoreline, but I always thought that the sound there was amazing. Being a taper, that was always my first concern. I have way too many boomy audience masters from the Oakland Coliseum. I remember hearing stories of people who dropped their cigarettes on the grass in the general admission area of Shoreline that started small methane fires from all the decomposing garbage underneath. I think I still have my bootleg ‘Dead At The Dump’ T shirt. I remember that these shows were pretty good. This was the show that I met my friend Ron, who would forever be ‘Taper Ron’. He patched into my Sony TC-153SD up on the lawn. Those first Shoreline audience masters still sound pretty good even today, but I’m missing the last part of the Saturday second set after I loaned out the master and never got it back. Big mistake!

[August 2024 Remaster: I decided to work on these two recordings from Shoreline a bit to raise the levels, and to tag the files. To take advantage of Brad’s patches, I downloaded them from the Live Music Archive and then decoded the FLACs and assembled the WAV files together in Audacity. I was able to raise the levels about 5db or so and I think it gives the recording a bit more ‘punch’. I also changed to file names slightly to reflect ‘disc I’, ‘disc II’, ‘disc III’, instead of tracking by set. I removed and repaired the two-second drop out in ‘Bird Song’ with Audacity.

I always regret the fact that I turned down the offer from another taper who was to my left, up on the lawn in the tapers section, to patch into his Neumann TLM-170s >Sony PCM rig. I can’t remember the taper’s name, but I definitely remember those microphones! He said that JUST the isolation (shock) mounts were $400 EACH! He really liked my vintage Sony TC-153SD cassette recorder and suggested that I patch in, and like a FOOL I said that I wanted to be self contained and do it myself. I have never seen that source circulate, which is a shame that it was never shared. Maybe someday it will surface.]

Do NOT Convert To MP3. Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. 😉
