Early Show Only

Here’s the first of 4 Boarding House shows I’d like to put up over the next few days (5/24 early and 5/25 late are still running). I received them through the old Rust etree site several years ago. A couple of shows, although known to have been taped, I’ve never seen anywhere. I’m sure there must be more of these gems out there somewhere!

Notes on Sound Quality: Audience Recording, the SQ is Good

Notes from the original seeder:

Aud Master > 1st generation cassette > Sony PCM-500 (w/SBM1 A>D)
> Audiomedia III > ProTools > JAM > CDR > EAC(secure) > xACT > FLAC

t01 a few seconds of the intro is missing
t08 a few seconds of intro is missing an unfortunately there are two
flaws a little when the fast-forward button of the recorder was
pushed accidentally.
t14 similiar short flaw as in t08

Taped by a friend with a cheap taper recorder placed on one of the
tables at the Boarding House. The master cassettes were lost in a house
robbery years ago. This is not as good a recording as the 1978-05-24
(early) and 1978-5-27 (late) shows that commonly circulate from master.
However, it is quite listenable and was one of my prized possessions for
years as most of these songs were not released at the time of this show.
All the Boarding House shows are fabulous with Neil at the peak of
powers.

Pro Tools (pitch correction/fades/track splits) > xACT1.5b3 > flac(8)

* – slight cut at the beginning after the tape flip

This is a nice recording EXCEPT at many of the volume peaks there is a
slight but noticible distortion that sounds like someone bumping a
microphone. However this show is not widely circulated so I share it as is.

Some nice Neil chatter on here with him at one point admitting writing
Cortez, Ride My Llama and a third unnamed song in one day.

thanks to calrust for sharing this cassette with me and now with all of you.

A few rough edits were merged to make seamless. This version also has a minor glitch removed during “Thrasher” that was present in the previous mastering, but not in the original recording. Sectors were aligned using Chuck King’s WAVTool for Mac.

Recorded by Betty Cantor-Jackson

Notes:

– This recording has been provided by an anonymous source.
– Various artifacts such as clicks, pops and crackle have been removed.
– A few small level adjustments and some minor repairs have been made.
– The only other circulating source for this show has both cassette and cdr gens in it.
It also seems that the channels became swapped over time.
– The other source has a cut in “The System” of approximately 1:37 starting around 1:36, this source does not.
– The other source has a cut in “It’s A Sin” of approximately 39 seconds from about 3:03, this source does not.
However, this source has the last 2:25 or so missing.
– Both Garcia’s guitar and Sarah’s vocals move around in the mix from time to time. *
– During the tuning breaks music can be heard playing, presumably bleeding through from a bar or something similar.
– All tracks have been tagged.

There is a very interesting article about the history of the venue here http://jerrygarciasbrokendownpalaces.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/boarding-house-960-bush-st-san.html

Thank You Jerry Garcia, you will always be in our hearts.
