From Egypt with Love
One month after their legendary trip to Egypt The Grateful Dead
are back in San Francisco for 5 nights at Winterland.
It's a total of 14 hours 15 minutes and 10 seconds of history in the
final months of Winterland being a concert venue.
For at least the first 4 nights they are very much enthused and playing great!
And there's really nothing wrong with that 5th night either. It's still
The Good Old Grateful Dead!
All 5 nights were recorded from the audience by Reinhart Holwein.
And he got fabulous recordings. He was in a sweet spot for these shows!
The mix varies a bit from night to night but for the most part these are fantastic recordings.
And the final night. They're starting to run out of gas kinda. But still some great stuff here.
The jam in Not Fade Away is fun. If a bit meandering.
Below are the original notes.
For CD burning put set one on one CD.
CD 2 would be 12 - 16.
CD 3 17 - 21

Patch info:
"Not Fade Away" tape flip at 1:37 - 1:51 patched with gd78-10-22.sbd.miller.92567.sbeok.flac16
Above are the original notes for shn #94604.
============================================
This is a remaster of shn #94604.
I re-patched Not Fade Away with an audience recording.
The source of the patch is shn #102076. Thanks to those who shared it.
Thanks to the taper and the MOTB people and all who bring this stuff to share.
All of the work I do is in ocenaudio and Harrison Mixbus.
Everything I do is basically about levels. Keeping them the same in both channels
throughout the frequency range. When I speak of levels I mean RMS levels. Average levels.
I also tighten up phase issues when needed. Clear up any gaps that may be found.
If original files are high res, I have done most of the work at the higher sample frequency
and bit depths. Then towards the end I've converted to 44.1 16 bit.
About the screen grabs:
One can not see everything I do in these images but it shows something about
how the audio has changed between before and after.
If I'm working from high res files the before FFT and Spectral images look
quite a bit different inherently. But you can still see how they differ otherwise.
