Ya gotta be able to read DVD data files, and decode lossless files** Tony has been looking for 5/3/72, which I recently got, and also the 2/23/71 bt that just went up. So ... I dropped those on a DVD for him, and to fill up the leftover space, put on the 5/28/77 Bertha remaster that just went up on bt etree, and the 2/19/72 Sickbits matrix that just went up on bt etree. Finally, included is set 2 of 12/30/77. So, you have a couple of shows that are not on the archives, and some stuff that has been aurally tinkered with if you like that sort of thing or find it interesting. Seemed a shame to just make a copy for Tony, so I burned three additional this morning. Edit my email address and respond via email with your address if you would like a copy of the disc. No blank or postage necessary, although it would be cool to either offer up a copy to others, or offer up an audio CD set of one of the shows if you are of a mind to do that. Details of the shows are below.

Notes: The short story: 1) I removed the whine (~8000 kHz tone at about +25 dB) from this show that was present with the source reels using Sonic Foundry's Noise Reduction algorithm, as I did with the earlier uploaded Port Chester shows (2/18, 2/21, 2/24). For an explanation of the noise and how I removed it, see http://www.mailbag.com/users/orf/notch.html 2) There are a couple of dropouts/glitches which I have cleaned up as well as I can. These occurred when the DAT tape was "ripped" to disk. 3) This show is as good as you're gonna get as far as I know because of the NR and the excellent remastering from the original reels! 4) I've kept in all the intersong tuning/whatever. I figure others can edit them down if the wish. I like having it there, sometimes funny things are said and done :) plus you can always just hit FFWD on your CD player remote to get to the next song! The long story with regards to 2) above: The DAT tape, a clone from the "whatever became of the bettys" tree a while back, was borrowed and was read in on an old SGI indigo which has firmware which can read DAT audio tapes and dump them to 48 kHz AIFF files. Alas, I do not own a DAT machine and digital sound card, but I am saving my money! Anyhow, the error correction on the SGI DAT drive was pretty crappy, and there were a few dropouts/glitches on the read which lasted anywhere from less than 1/75 s to a handful of seconds. I have at my behest a professional quality DAT machine at a community radio station I volunteer for (WORT) and brought my home tape deck in which is a Harmon Kardon TD 4600, one of the earlier Dolby S decks (WORT does not have a computer with a digital sound card). It is a very good deck for analogue. The DAT deck at WORT was able to handle all of the bad spots for this show that were not handled well by the SGI. I made a dolby S copy of the bad spots, and pasted over (using an analogue AWE64 Soundblaster to go A->D) the glitches/droputs on the SGI read using Sound Forge. The result is as good as I could do. Bear in mind that the total amount I had to paste over represent a total of about 20 seconds across the entire show, and I was able to 'fix' them completely. The worst section was during Drums where there were a couple of sections where up to on the order of 5-10 seconds wasn't read, and hence was pasted over with the analogue copy. I leave it up to you to find them :) Leigh Orf ****************************** Grateful Dead Capitol Theater Port Chester, NY 2-19-71 Sick Bits Vol. 13 Source: Matrix (SBD/AUD mix): SBD: (shnid=1029) - via WBOTB Project 7" two track BBD reel w/ Dolby A @ 7 1/2 ips > PCM501ES @ 44.055 kHz PCM501ES analog out > Fostex D5 @ 48 kHz (Dolby not decoded?) > WAV > Cool Edit Pro (filtering and sample rate conversion) > SHN AUD: (shnid=30230) - via Clinton Vadnais 1st gen reel> Teac A-2300SX> RCA out> Audiophile 2496> Wavelab 4.0 lineage: Wavelab 4.0> CD Wave> MKWact> WAV> FLAC Transfer/Editing: The SBD is from SHN files downloaded from LMA, and the AUD is from FLAC files downloaded from bt.etree.org; both sources were converted to WAV > Sony Vegas 5 > WAV > CD Wave > FLAC 16 (level 8) Matrixed by Chris Chappell ScarFire@liquidcity.com 10-14-05 ___________________________________________________________________ Set I: d1t01 - tuning (Merry-Go-Round Broke Down) d1t02 - Truckin' d1t03 - Loser d1t04 - Cumberland Blues d1t05 - It Hurts Me Too d1t06 - Bertha d1t07 - Playin' In The Band d1t08 - Dark Hollow d1t09 - Smokestack Lightnin' d1t10 - China Cat Sunflower -> d1t11 - I Know You Rider Set II: d1t12 - tuning d1t13 - Greatest Story Ever Told -> d1t14 - Johnny B.

After experimenting with the China>Rider, it was obvious that the power conveyed in the blending of the two sources would justify matrixing an already crisp sounding betty board. The energy back then was really amazing - so strong, and the sound... vintage. Both sources are mono, but in no way does this detract from the final result, if anything, it minimized the phase issues inherent in making a post-show matrix. Some mono purists believed that hi-fidelity went out the window with the introduction of stereo. I'm not saying I agree, but after this editing exercise, I can appreciate more where they are coming from. The SBD does not appear to be the FOH mix, as the vocals in the beginning of certain songs (Bertha, Dark Hollow) are missing or very low in the SBD source, but easily heard in the AUD source. This would suggest a monitor mix, but most likely some AUX split off the house SBD, made and monitored especially for recording. The resulting matrix at least allows you to hear the vocals in these sections albeit not at the desired level in the mix. This is the first show without Mickey, which Bobby alludes to at some point, saying that he is not feeling well. Bobby is also responsible for the tuning at the beginning of the show (Merry-Go-Round Broke Down?) as well as a Rawhide tease at the end of Smokestack. Bird Song and Deal are played for the first time in concert (breakout); Loser, Bertha, Playin', Greatest and Wharf Rat for the 2nd time ever, but this show is really about Pig. Smokestack is #2 of 5 played in '71 with only one more Pig version after that (3-25-72), and it's 14:40 in length. Combine that with one of the best versions of Easy Wind, an 18:37 version of Good Lovin, and a Hurts Me Too to boot, and you've got a finger lickin' Pig Pen pickin'. This show was not easy to matrix, but in the end it was well worth it. The speed fluctuation in the old reel to reels, even in as short amount of time as 20 seconds, added to the task with constant synch edits, but the minimal phase from the combination of two mono sources made the editing a little easier. =======Reviews from the LlaMA: "This show sneaks up behind you, taps you on the shoulder and then steals your face! Sure, there are some "garage band moments" here and there, but overall, they play like they were recording it for an album (heh,heh ....they were actually) and with the passage of time, this night still stands out as well played, and also as having that ineffable X factor magic, not only with the songs, but also in the synergy of the band interaction with the crowd. Maybe it was because this was the first show without Mickey and they were trying harder. Or maybe it was the bomb scares they had during this run. Whatever the reason, Jerry chose tonight to debut Deal and Bird Song, say no more, wink wink, nudge nudge." "Pig fans will undoubtedly prefer this show... But for me the highlight of the entire show is the Know You Rider. In this period (winter 70-71 through spring 71) the tune achieved its canonical form. It seems that with each performance, in the second and final solo, Jerry was having a musical converstion not just with the boys, but with himself." "This show has *the* definitive, most unbelievably tight version of Easy Wind, with Pigpen guiding the boys, chugging along like a pyrotechnic freight train through a completely cosmic, harmonically perfect jam." =======Credits: Thanks to WBOTB (What's become of the Betty's) tree for the SBD. No one is given specific credit so maybe there were many who worked on various aspects. Thanks to Clinton Vadnais for transfering and editing the AUD source; taper unknown, but if not for either one of you, no matrix would be possible. Thanks again. Cover art was found at http://www.geocities.com/deadpieshop/ Enjoy! Chappy Appended to text file: Shntool output Editing Notes FLAC Fingerprint SBD & AUD source Notes ___________________________________________________________________ Timeline/Tracking Notes: The AUD is tracked for 2 discs (because it lacks tuning breaks) and the SBD is tracked for 3 discs. By eliminating less than 2 minutes of dead air/tuning in between songs (with no corresponding AUD) in the first set, I was able to make the show fit on 2 discs. The only music that is missing from the SBD is the last 30 seconds of Birdsong which is covered by the AUD, resulting in full coverage. Editing Notes: - Pitch Each of the sources were pitched differently, the SBD being the closest to A=440Hz. Therefore, I used the SBD as my pitch reference and pitched the AUD down about -.05 (5 cents) through Truckin', up 5 cents for Loser and Cumberland, up 12 cents for Hurts Me Too, down about 2 cents for Bertha and Playin', down from 30 cents to 20 cents from Dark Hollow through Smokestack, down 15 for China > Rider, up 10 cents for GSET > JBG and Birdsong, then down 20 to 8 cents from Easy Wind through Wharf Rat, and down 25 cents to 16 cents for the Good Lovin' through Casey Jones. For the SBD, there is one area where pitch fluctuates - tuning after Birdsong (post cut) is a little fast, probably the tape running of the reel screwed up the tension alignment briefly (I pitched it from 25 cents down to 5 cents during this tuning - no corresponding AUD) and the Easy Wind after is pitched down 5 cents as well. No other parts of the SBD were pitched adjusted. The result is close to A=440Hz, however there is some fluctuation throughout the show due to the age of the recordings. - Synch Even after pitch correcting the AUD to the SBD, because of the speed fluctuation within a given source, multiple edits were performed to keep the sources synched (too many edits to list). - Sonic Quality/Matrix ratio/Source mixes No EQ was applied to any of the sources, but the matrix did receive a little Waves L2 (limiter) to give it a little more punch and presence. The AUD source had some previous EQ which I left as is. The Betty Board had received a notch filter at 8k to reduce the "whine" which I again left as is. Also, noted in the AUD source notes is the fact that the transfered reel was a 1st gen from the master but had already been recorded on before, thus some "bleed" from the prior recording comes through at the end of songs during the crowd noise; I discretely edited these areas out. Conceptually, all I was trying to do here is to add some dimension to the SBD, which is pretty dry, by using the ambience of the AUD. The result is a lively and somewhat clear recording, hopefully close to how it sounded at the show. If I had to guess the SBD/AUD ratio would be somewhere between 3:1 and 2:1, leaning more towards the 3:1 end of things. - Edits The following are places where the SBD or AUD had holes or incomplete coverage in reference to the final matrix timeline. SBD: d2t02 (6:09 - 6:37) - missing AUD: d1t01 (0:00 - 2:19) - missing (tuning) d1t02 (8:02 - 8:50) - missing (tuning) d1t03 (1:40) - edited dropout d1t04 (4:45 - 6:04) - missing (tuning) d1t05 (5:52 - 6:11) - missing (tuning) d1t06 (5:01 - 6:34) - missing (tuning) d1t07 (4:48 - 5:08) - missing (tuning) d1t08 (3:25 - 3:47) - missing (tuning) d1t09 (14:35 - 15:42) - missing (tuning) d1t11 (4:36 - 5:03) - missing (crowd) d1t12 (all) - missing (tuning) d1t13 (0:00 - 0:18) - missing d2t01 (various) - missing (tuning) d2t02 (5:11 - 5:22) - missing d2t02 (5:42 - 9:03) - missing (tuning) d2t03 (8:16 - 10:15) - missing (tuning) d2t04 (4:25 - 5:56) - missing (tuning) d2t07>8 (8:47 - 1:29) - missing d2t08 (8:14 - 11:16) - missing (tuning) d2t10 (4:50 - 5:51) - missing (crowd) - Recap Full coverage is achieved by combining both sources. Note that most of the AUD source that is missing is just in between song tuning which the taper (unknown) most likely did not record in order to conserve tape stock.

Yes you can D/L the show from GDLive or Archive.org or you have already had it for years. BUT! This is a new perspective. I recently borrowed 1st Gen Reels of an AUDIENCE recording of this show! It is amazing to hear the audience and bands interaction. This is NOT an A+ recording but I'm an engineer and remastered to the best of my abilities. There are some cuts and even a little bleed from whatever was recorded over when the dub was made. My friend Don was there and go the dubs. The masters cannot be tracked down but these were 1st gens! I'm 99% sure this recording never really got out there. It was a 1st gen .5" reel. I already forgot if it was 7.5ips or 15ips. The tape was recycled too, meaning it was taped over to record this show. My friend knew the taper but can't get anymore details. The reel sat for years before we did this transfer. There was more on the reels that the community was happy to hear about too. It was a mono recording and I remastered it. I'm happy to have been able to restore this gem for the masses to hear. I've gotten so much from you all it is great to give some back!! I had vined this in summer of 2002 but this might be the first data distrobution. Here's to a full decade of missing Jerry Garcia!

These flaws are from the master. The lineage information available states that Dolby A decoding was not performed, but the sound is nevertheless very good and does not sound compressed. As with the other Port Chester recordings, a slight whine comes and goes throughout the recording. We have applied a very light notch filter as needed. The filtering was accomplished using Cool Edit Pro, and consisted of a sequence of notch filters at and around 8k, approximately 1 kHz wide and only 2 db in depth. The filtering was mainly during the in-between banter but also on the songs where required - more so in the 2nd set. In The Other One there were two short bursts of static that appear to have come from the stage, andthese were reduced in level. No other filtering was performed. As indicated in the set list, Bird Song is cut. There are also several cuts on the master during crowd noise before Truckin' starts the first set, but who cares?
