Grateful Dead
Noteworthy Terrapin Stations
This is a collection of noteworthy versions of Terrapin Station
played by the Grateful Dead. It is a revision of a collection
originally circulated on eTree in April, 2009:
http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=524531
The original collection was closely based on a list put together by
Eric Wybenga and published in his book _Dead To The Core: An Almanac
of the Grateful Dead_. This revised collection includes sources from
Eric's list that were omitted from the original collection because I
did not believe I should seed them at eTree. It drops some of the
versions I used to "replace" versions I didn't think I could seed. It
also adds other versions that were recommended in the comments on the
original collection, as well as versions that I thought should be
added. Remember, "noteworthy" does not mean "best". I welcome your
ideas about what should be included or dropped from the
collection. There could easily be a version 3.
While Terrapin was often part of long jams (you can find some fine
Terrapin's in the other Noteworthy V2 collections), many great
Terrapin's either stood more or less alone or were rather easy to
disentangle from their neighbors. So there are not many long jams
here. But there are some: while I wanted to keep the collectoin
contained, I did not want to do musical violence, so there were
judgments to make....
The track names are self-explanatory: they list the date of the
performance, the SHNID of the source, and shortened names of the songs
included in the track. The music in these tracks is exactly the same
as the music from the source indicated by the SHNID. When necessary, I
joined the songs into jams using "shntool join", I snipped white space
from the end of the tracks and sometimes added fades using WaveLab
6.0, and then I compressed the files using "flac --best". I used
shntool version 3.0.9 and flac version 1.2.1.
If you have the first version of this collection, you should be able
to leech over it and only grab the changes: you'll have to rename the
old tracks first, as I've had to use six-digit SHNIDs i this version
of the project.
