Have to get my son on this site. WONDERFUL.

I caught the dead in the 70's. Life, kids, work & I lost them. My son, 23 years later, is playing a bootleg. I'm kicking back, digging it, & he looks up in shock - say's Damn you know these guys!'

We been playing them for 20 years.

____________________________________________________________________________

Source/Mastering Notes:
Reel Changes are undetectable aside from the unfortunate cut in the Jam
after Drums and into Not Fade Away. All source info and Dead Base document
this show as having two normal sets. Yet there is no clear point in which
the fist set ends or when the band returns for a second set. There is
tuning after Sugar Magnolia and before China Cat, which indicates to this
listener that there was a single set that night. Jerry mentions to the
audience that they have to cut the show short after J.B. Goode due to the
curfew. Perhaps the band chose to do one long set rather than two.
The discs are therefore seamless.
 
How are the levels on that Green Mountain Bros version?

Pretty even but a tad low, if I recall. I can make a copy if you would like. I have the 7th and 8th from this source.

Both my 7th and 8th are the Deibert versions.

Thanks for the offer but my copy is great. The 7th's second disc goes radical without warning though. It's ok, it makes me laugh :D

I'll have to check those out and see how they compare. I'll let you know.

Edit: Not a lot of noticeable differences that I could hear. Gotta love how strong and clear Sing me back home starts out.
