OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This weekend was the only time I have been to the Greek Theatre at Berkeley. Sadly I never made it there to see or record the Dead. It’s a beautiful amphitheater with an awesome view of San Francisco. Unfortunately I don’t have really good memories of the venue, because driving in Berkeley is royal pain. It seemed to take us 40 years to get to the show from Oakland, where my friend Ron lived. Plus, Security almost threw me out for taking photos of my friend Taper Ron in the tapers section. I had no idea that you couldn’t bring cameras into the Greek. The Dead were always cool with (non flash) cameras. They pulled me out to the front gates and proceeded to confiscate the battery out of my Nikon FM2N , and I had to plead with them not to eject me by saying that I had a taping rig set up and running. They looked at my Nikon FM2N and 80-200 f/2.8 AF lens and said, ‘How did you get THAT in here?’. Ah, in my taping bag with all my other gear. Like I said, I had no idea you couldn’t bring in cameras. The show was good, and I really liked hearing Warren Haynes play with Phil. ‘She Said She Said’ was awesome. Man, Warren has some pipes! For some reason, lost to time, I lost the encore and had to get a copy from another recording.

I stayed the night at a friend of my friend Ron’s in Oakland and went back to the Greek to record the Sunday Phil show.

OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was the show that Bob Dylan opened for Phil Lesh & Friends and Bob wouldn’t allow any of the taper’s microphones to be placed on the stands until after his set. I got a front-of-board DAT recording of Bob’s set later from Eugene Hu so I wasn’t that worried about not being able to run tape for the Dylan set. There was an official from Dylan’s crew that walked through the taper section and made sure that no one was setting up microphones while Dylan played.

As we were waiting for Phil’s set, either during Dylan’s set or at the break, I can’t remember, I was talking with Charlie Miller. While we were chatting, toward the right side of the tapers section up on the lawn, Charlie spotted a bag of really nice Indica bud lying on the grass. It was either a quarter or half ounce. Charle picked it up and looked at the nearest person and said, ‘Hey, you dropped your weed!’ The person looked at him and his eyes got wide and reached out for the bag. It was then that Charlie pulled his hand back and said, ‘Wait a minute, that’s not yours!’ Not knowing who it belonged to, he took the only sensible and reasonable course
of action; He divvied up the pot and handed it out bud-by-bud to various people. He gave me a rather tasty nodule that I had quite a lot of fun ingesting for the rest of the afternoon! I remarked to him that he looked like a ‘Jolly Green Psychedelic Santa’! It definitely made for a pleasant concert experience!

Phil & Friends
4/20/98
Warfield Theater
San Francisco, CA

CSHEB (dpa4061) > Zefiro Inbox > Sony D100 > 44k dats from 5th row at right balcony at level of right hanging speakers

Transfer 11/7/11: 44k dat>midiman delta dio 2496> cooledit2000> wav> flac; cooledit2000 used to raise levels 20% and cut tracks

Flaws: missing first few seconds of 2nd set as they surprised most by starting before the curtain was raised; pause/cut near end of d3t3 in the crowd noise awaiting the encore

Notes: The dats were treed shortly after the show on datheads. In comparison to shnid=8980, this has a fuller warmer sound and that is brighter. (You may need to have a good stereo and play it loud to notice). This has an extra 10 seconds of the beginning of China Cat than that has.

I think this is the first Phil & Friends ever. Actually it is really the Grateful Dead minus the drummers and I think the just called it Phil and Friends as a joke. It was for some benefit or another. It is also a very fun, laid back show.
