NB: Caveat on speed and pitch. Almost every song is paused between, as noted. This can cause the speed and pitch to vary per song. And mid song, a tune can catch up and sound better than at the start. Each song WAS carefully listened to and my thought here is NONE are too far out of whack as to be offensive. Having no comparison source, and variations throughout based on the aformentioned issues, I chose to leave most songs as they were on the original transfer. If some gifted ears out there have an issue with any tunes and would like to lend their virtuoso on making it just exactly perfect, I’d be eager to work with you. A fresh analog transfer of this soundboard source would be wonderful but this certainly suffices for now.

Comments: Well played and vocally tight first set. Nite-nite themed second gets off clunky with a vocally miscued and forgotten Cats Under the Stars, but then cuts to the core during Mississippi Moon with the explosive dynamic range this era of JGB is capable of. The nitemarish destruction of Gomorrah presents Lot with much horror and temptation before a soothing and deep Russian Lullaby gets you nearly tucked into bed before one last hoedown under the Midnight Moonlight. Excellent audience recording with minimal intermittent audience noise and no technical artifacts detected other than tape pauses between most tracks.
Thanks to J.Powell for the CDR source.

Notes:
– Clean but partially oversaturated recording of some good material, including a pretty hot Let it Rock. The Jerry Site lists this as set one, but two factors lead me to suspect that it’s actually mostly set two. First, the setlist looks more like a second set from this time period, with Harder They Come opener and Midnight Moonlight closer absolutely characteristic. Second, Jerry’s “Thank you, see you later on” after Midnight Moonlight sounds more like a show closer than a set break announcement. I suspect the Russian Lullaby is from another show, but this is pure speculation. I can’t recall it ever having been an encore, and the crowd is utterly silent before it starts, which they wouldn’t likely be if this were indeed an encore.
– t03 Let it Rock cuts in, not much missing. Levels come down a little bit at about 6:30, reducing the oversaturation of the recording.
– t04 Midnight Moonlight mix shift toward R channel @ 0:51
– t05 Russian Lullaby, mix changes @ 2:12, more hiss in R channel after.

– A nice recording of a very enjoyable show. Things might be
running a bit fast, I am just not sure. If not, then things
are just really upbeat. The last three songs have some sig-
nificant overload distortion.
– A few songs barely clip in. The only edits I undertook were
to smooth a few tape transitions.
– d1t06 Tangled Up in Blue splice @ very start (tape flip).
– d2t06 Midnight Moonlight cuts in.

There has been confusion between the two 1982 Palo Alto recordings.
You tell it is the 1982-08-03 recording if the stage power goes
towards the end of On The Way Home and Don’t Cry No Tears. The guitars
drop out of the mix and you just hear vocals, bass and drums. Neil
makes a comment on it after On The Way Home.
