Notes: Digitally remastered using a custom built, Dual-DAW, nicknamed Bertha, by jashley@deadacated.com on January 4, 2004.
Thanks to Peter Braverman for his fine work.
From the Braverman text file and prior to Bertha Remastering:
Source: SBD>16 Track Master Reels>DAT@44.1K>DAT>DAT>WAV>SHN
DAT>WAV via Sony SDT-9000 DDS drive using VDAT 0.6f (see error logs below)
WAV was edited in Soundforge 4.0 (crossfading of reel cuts between songs, no music was disturbed except for Sugar Magnolia)
WAV>SHN via CDWAV 1.53>MKW 0.97b
The songs from the reels were originally edited down to DAT very tightly, almost no banter is present in this version.

Known Flaws: the first few notes of Sugar Magnolia were missing and were patched in from the circulating Gans CD source.
The following spots were edited using pencil tool in Soundforge
(small bits of analog static removed):
d1t1, 2:18 - left channel click - smoothed, still slightly audible
d1t1, 2:20-2:23 - left channel static - smoothed, still slightly
audible
d1t06, 2:12 - pop - fixed
d2t01, 14:28 - right channel crackle - fixed
d2t05, 3:37 - right channel click - fixed
d2t05, 4:13 right channel click - fixed
d2t05, 04:18 - right channel static - smoothed, still audible
d2t05, 04:45 - right channel static - fixed
d2t05, 04:00-05:00 - some other static, smoothed, but still audible
d2t05, 5:05 - right channel click- still slightly audible
d3t01, 0:28 - two right channel clicks - fixed
d3t01, 0:38 - right channel click - fixed
d3t01, 8:06, 8:11 - right channel crackles - fixed
d3t01, 26:29 - right channel click - fixed
There are a few other minor analog anomalies that were left alone:
d1t01, 2:02 click in right channel
d1t01, 2:26 slight pop
d1t07, 3:48 click
d2t01, 6:00 faint click
d2t04, 10:12 pop
d2t05, 3:36 click
d2t05, 3:42 click
d3t01, 28:24 click
d3t04, 5:10-7:50 intermittent analog buzzing in right channel
There's probably some more to be found, however, all are quite minor

i've had this show on VHS tape forever, it is a great show. The whole band dropped acid before going on stage. See if you can tell when it kicks in.

Thanks a lot for this post.

1972 - best Grateful Dead concert year ever!

Cheers!

Howz' about posting the movie "Sunshine Daydream" to go along w/this? Every morning, I get up and check to see what new treasures you've presented - what a wonderful thing!
THANK YOU!!!

Sound is good. As is typical of Bertha remasters the low end gets a big boost.

This is a major upgrade to my Silver Rarities version which is titled "Field Trip: The Springfield Creamery Benefit". This show is constantly voted one of the top 3 of all time... and rightfully so. The highlights are Playin In The Band, Bird Song, and Dark Star. If one is a Deadhead, one wants this upgrade. If one is a casual listener who simply wants a great show by The Dead, get it! This show, and this version, are amongst the best you can find for Grateful Dead concerts.

awesome upload, thanks a lot!

Thanks bootleg43... that's just the type of "big picture" info I was hoping for. I'm not a Deadhead, but would like a sampling of the best of the best. Thanks for pointing that out! I'm a Dylanhead, and often find myself doing the same for "non-Dylaners" since there are about as many Dylan boots (thank goodness) as Dead boots...

Cheers from the South!

Yo Zimmy... then check out the show from Barton Hall, Ithaca NY 5/8/77... different era but also constantly voted a "best-of" by Dead Heads. Then go purchase Dick's Picks from 5/2/70 and you have 3 of their best shows, as voted by Deadheads.
