OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was the second Dead show that I recorded in 1994. Thanks to Gene for the use of his Sony TCD-D10 DAT portable. It wouldn’t be until May of 1995 that I would be able to purchase my first DAT portable, though I’d had DAT home decks since 1992. I used the CP1 cardioid capsules as I felt the sound quality from the tapers section was good enough to not require the side rejection of the shotgun capsules, as the shotguns can sound kind of mid rangy and flat.

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This, and the following day’s show were the only two Grateful Dead shows that I recorded in 1994. Thanks to Gene for shipping me his Sony D10 to master the shows. Shoreline has great sound and I felt that the shotgun capsules were unnecessary so I went with the CP 1 cardioid capsules.
I think that the vocals sound more upfront with the cardioids compared to the super cardioids (shotguns).

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
I remember THIS weekend well. After recording the Dead 0n Saturday, 9/29/89 at Shoreline, We started off Sunday afternoon by recording both Weir & Wasserman and the Jefferson Airplane reunion (including a Hot Tuna set sandwiched midway through the set) at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, and then had to book it down to Shoreline to tape the Dead show that evening. Of course we were late, because of bay area traffic. The parking lots at Shoreline were nuts if you weren’t there early, and we got stuck having to park in the back lot near the Christmas tree farm. We ran to the amphitheater carrying all of the recording equipment with the rest of the stragglers and my ex wife turned to me and said as we were running, ‘And now for the 100 yard dash for late tapers division!’ Funny. We got into the reserved section just as the house lights dropped and the band came on stage. The other tapers didn’t seem too happy to let us in after they were already set up and I really didn’t blame them. I remember whispering, ‘We were in the park taping the Airplane.’ Luckily I had my Mini Mag light to help find our seats. We had to sit through the first set and then set up the recording equipment durning the set break. Shoreline was always a good venue in which to see live music, and the Dead in particular. I always got good sounding tapes there and this one was no exception. This was my third year recording the Dead at Shoreline. Thanks to Gene for letting me borrow his Nakamichi CM 300s. This was the third show I used them for. I recorded two shows each at Cal Expo, Shoreline, the Los Angeles Forum, and the Oakland Coliseum Arena NYE run in 1989 with his microphones because I felt they sounded better than my Superscope EC7s.

Last ‘Death Don’t Have No Mercy’ 3/21/70 Early [1334]

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
I remember THIS weekend well. Saturday’s show recording went pretty well. I was stunned to hear the first notes of ‘Death Don’t Have No Mercy’ in the second set. I remember thinking that the opening notes sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t place them at first. I got a chill when I realized that it was in fact the song that I thought it was. The crowd went nuts, seeing how it was going to be the first time this song had been played in 19 years! Jerry’s vocals were so chilling, and Brent’s vocals were amazing. I miss both of them so much.

We stayed Saturday night in Oakland with my friend Ron at the house he rented on Wilson St.

Sunday was an adventure. We started off recording Weir & Wasserman open for the Jefferson Airplane reunion (including a Hot Tuna set sandwiched midway through the set) at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco in the afternoon, and then had to book it down to Shoreline to tape the Dead show that evening. Of course we were late, because of bay area traffic. The parking lots at Shoreline were nuts if you weren’t there early, and we got stuck having to park in the back lot near the Christmas tree farm, which is like the ’lot from Hell’. We ran to the amphitheatre carrying all of the recording equipment with the rest of the stragglers and my ex wife turned to me and said as we were running, ‘And now for the 100 yard dash for late tapers division!’ Funny. We got into the reserved section just as the house lights dropped and the band came on stage. The other tapers didn’t seem too happy to let us in after they were already set up and I really didn’t blame them. Luckily I had my Mini Mag light to help find our seats. We had to sit through the first set and then set up the recording equipment during the set break.
(I was borrowing a set of Nakamichi CM-300s from a friend for this weekend’s shows. I was hesitant to take them into Golden Gate Park for the Airplane show because I didn’t know if taping would be allowed. It was, and I had ‘played it safe’ and left them locked up back in Oakland and had to use my Aiwa CM-30 for the SF gig. I ran the same Nakamichi CM-300s with CP-4 shotgun capsules with my WM-D6C for the Dead shows.)

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was my second time recording the Dead at Shoreline. The previous year, in 1987, I came home with really good sounding tapes that had a lot of punch and impact, being that they were recorded with the addition of the repeater towers on the lawn. In 1988 they moved the tapers section to Section 202, in the reserved section, directly behind the soundboard. We were a little closer to the stage PA, but we lost the addition of the repeater towers. When I ordered tickets through the Dead office I put a note in my mailer and requested to be next to ‘Taper Ron’ Owensby, my friend in Oakland who I stayed with when I went to Bay Area shows. I was blown away to see Ron walk up and have a reserved seat RIGHT next to me, in Section 202 Row E, the first row behind the board and front row of the tapers section! THANK’S GDTS!!!! 🙂

I will never forget, being in the first row of the tapers section, when Dan Healy passed his headphones to a lady to the left of my friend Ron during ‘To Lay Me Down’ in the first set. She listened to the board mix for a bit, and I was sure that she was going to pass them to my friend Ron, and then hopefully I would get a turn. But instead, she handed them right back to Healy and that was that. Shucks! I would have loved to have heard the board mix, even if only for a brief bit. She wasn’t even a taper and she got to experience that. I’m sure, looking back, that Healy only let her listen because she was a pretty girl.

I was having some trouble with my Sony 153, which turned out to be a dirty record switch as reported by the electronics repair shop, so I had borrowed a Marantz PMD-430 from my friend Dick, another taper I knew. (My guess would be the dust clouds from Ventura Fairgrounds ’87 being the culprit.) I would eventually get the Sony TC-153SD deck working again, but in the meantime I got a new Sony WM-D6C PRO for Christmas ’88, because I wanted a new deck and I wanted something that I could record other bands with and the 153 was just too large to take in for stealth shows.

I hadn’t transferred this show, Oct 1 1988, until now because the first time I was going to transfer it to CD with my HHb CDR 800 about 10 or 12 years ago I found that the master tape of the first set had print through, but listening now it seems like it only affected the early part of the set, between ‘Minglewood’ and ‘Peggy-O’, where you can hear an echo in the quiet part of the tuning between songs. I was pleasantly surprised that the rest of the recording sounded so good. The second set doesn’t seem to be affected at all.

I was having trouble with my Sony TC-153SD which turned out to be a dirty record switch, most likely from the wind-driven dust at the Ventura Fairgrounds shows the previous summer. I eventually had it serviced but for these shows I used a borrowed Marantz PMD-430, from my friend Dick who was another taper I knew. For some reason lost to time, my recording of the October 1st show starts with Sugaree already in progress. Perhaps I was late to the show and wasn’t able to get set up in time, or maybe I had some sort of an equipment failure. I don’t remember.

I would eventually get the Sony TC-153SD deck working again, but in the meantime I got a new Sony WM-D6C PRO for Christmas ’88, because I wanted a new deck and I wanted something that I could record other bands with and the 153 was just too large to take in for stealth shows.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
My second Shoreline Dead show, following the previous night, and the last time the Grateful Dead tapers section would be up on the lawn. In subsequent years the tapers would be in Section 202 behind the soundboard. I thought the repeaters added a lot of punch to the sound. I think the Shoreline staff probably complained about microphone stands tearing up the grass because everyone tried to keep their stands from pitching forward on the steep slope. This was the weekend where I met ‘Taper Ron’, who patched into my Sony 153 for the Saturday show. We have been friends ever since, and I used to stay with him in the little house he rented on Wilson Street in Oakland when I would come to town to record the Dead. It was a blast getting to hear ‘Devil With The Blue Dress > Good Golly Miss Molly, and this would be the last time that Brent would perform those tunes.

I still have the advertisements in the SF Chronicle Pink Section for the cancelled 1986 Shoreline shows, which had to be rescheduled to 1987 because of Jerry’s diabetic coma.

[Remaster August 2024; I decided to take all the files into Audacity and raise levels and I think it makes this recording even more punchy. Nothing else has been done, other than to tag the files in xACT. I also decided to change the file names slightly from what Brad did and mark each disc separately, d1, d2, d3. MD 5 checksums for the original files will error now, but FFPs will not.
