“Via Chicago” – Phil Lesh & Friends ft. Jeff Tweedy | 8/26/22
I know I’ve posted a few of their shows on here, but I’ve never really talked about Wilco all that much in these parts. But they are one of my all-time favorite bands. I was pretty excited, then, to see that Jeff Tweedy and Nels Cline recently performed with Phil Lesh and Friends.
The show is now up at the Archive and it is a good one. I think Nels guitar works really well with these Dead tunes. There are some video snippets on Youtube and Phil sure looks like he’s having a great time.

Word has it that this was the very last night Lesh and Lagin performed together publicly, and over the years no tape has appeared of the late show, so this may be the very last of their performances on record.
Written documentation does not exist for genealogy, but is remembered as:
Sony ECM280 individually hand-held at each end of the center row of seats, about 3/4 of the way back from the stage > Sony TC-152SD with Dolby (B) and limiter on.
Cassette type not known.
MAC playback on Sony TC-152SD with Dolby (B) decoding > Tandberg T9000 R2R at 3.75 ips on Scotch 207 (very soon after show) > Technics RS1506US with pitch adjustment > Korg MR-1000 @ DSD 5.6MHz
Phil hits some nice “A” notes at beginning, used for pitch reference.

happy 70th birthday Phil – March 15, 2010
I downloaded Duane’s pitch-corrected tracks 1 and 2 from his item on The Archive, desribed below as source 2. Then I downloaded the other 3 tracks from item 16866 on The Archive. These tracks — 3, 4, and 5 — were pitch-corrected all the same way. All 5 tracks were dehissed. I removed the dead-spots from the ends of tracks. Track changes are seamless.
Notes:
pitch correction algorithm for tracks 3, 4, 5
— resample mode
— old BPM = 120, new BPM = 110
— pitch reduction = -1.51 half steps
— time factor = 1.0909
dehisser level parameters for all 5 tracks
— reduction = -25 db
— absorption = 60
track level fixes
— on tracks 3, 4, and 5, I matched the left and right channels
peace,

Audience recordings of the San Mateo College Jazz Band.
Both tracks composed by Phil Lesh, who also plays lead trumpet on track 1.
Earliest recorded music from any member of the Grateful Dead.
NOTES:
These 2 tracks are pitch-shifted (and otherwise cleaned up) versions of two tracks 2 and 3 on the original etree distribution encoded by Matt Vernon. Details and upload info for the original versions of these tracks can be found at:
http://www.archive.org/audio/etree-details-db.php?id=21606
I did not attempt any remastering on the other three tracks as those were not Phil Lesh compositions, and therefore they were of less interest to me.
phil1959-04-05dd-d1t01.shn is entitled “Finnegan’s Awake” and the corresponding file on the earlier upload was Track 3, phil59-04-05d1t03.flac. This track was lowered 3 semitones, and I resynched the left and right tracks to reduce a funky flanging sound. Phil plays lead trumpet on this track.
phil1959-04-05dd-d1t02.shn is entitled “Wail Frail” (per Dennis McNally’s book) and the corresponding file on the earlier upload was Track 2, phil59-04-05d1t02.flac. This one was lowered about 1 semitone and the left and right tracks resynched. According to the spoken introduction, Phil does not actually play on this track, choosing to sit out so he can listen to this debut performance.
Both tracks are now in the key of B-flat, a favorite key of many brass players. I am not sure that this is the correct key, but the announcer on the two tracks now sounds like the same person, a human male who has not just inhaled a large quantity of helium.
I did not do any hiss reduction or EQ on the tracks, but they would probably both benefit from such processing.

Note for version 2: Well, that was quick. Apparently, the version of “Baby Blue” I included was officially released, so here’s a different, later one, followed by the same track list as before. Hopefully, this one will fly.
Original notes: OK folks, here’s the latest and greatest from the NSD Laboratories. I count seven new songs that have not appeared in previous volumes, and eight new artists. The rest, of course, are new combinations of ingredients we’ve used before. For those of you who’ve asked: I don’t know how many more volumes there will be–I’ll keep ’em coming til I run out of covers or time.
Here’s a repeat request from last time: can anyone get me a lossless version of Bruce Springsteen’s beautiful rendition of “Forever Young” from the John Hammond memorial show? I’d love to include it in a later volume of this series. And somebody out there (Persic, perhaps?) must have the John Wesley Harding-hosted KCRW special “Oh Merci!” from 1993–share it please!
That’s it for now. Please keep the suggestions and files coming! As always, thanks to the tapers, the original uploaders, the folks who’ve sent me recordings, the fine artists who’ve created cover artwork, and especially the performers and composer. Due to the many different sources, I am not including lineages. I have done nothing to the original files but normalize the levels and fade in and out on each track (using Cool Edit). Enjoy!
