Lineage: Nak 700’s – 3 mic mix (L & R Cardoids 6 db EQ, center Omni. 35′ from stage) > Mixer > Sony TC-D5 > MAC (Maxell MX 90’s) >

Weiss Saracon for 16 BIT 44.1kHz SRC and POWR-3 Dither. As always, Eternal gratitude for Bluedakota.
Notes:

– there is a considerable sonic change from D3T02 to D3T05. I’ve tried to polish this up a little, but it’s still very prominent.
Seeing how this is the only aud circulating right now, I’ve opted not to patch with the soundboard.
– This is a great, full sounding pull of a historic show. Many thanks to Mark for capturing it and lending his masters to LMPP to get them out.

Tapers Notes
– Jaime built the mic mixer and we all taped from the free throw line on the floor at the Oakland Auditorium. The mic’s went from the mixer into my Sony TC-D5M. There was also a patch bay, but I don’t remember how many decks were plugged in. I went to 10 New Years runs / shows from 1977 to 1990 and the 1981 run was my favorite.

BHP note: Both audio sources were very close to the video and only minor patching was needed mostly between songs in the first set. I also trimmed a little “Dead Air” between some of the songs so that the show could fit properly on a DVD.
