From Egypt with LoveOne 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.
Thanks to all.
Third night; first two still on the tracker.

Here we have the third night. This is one of those nights when the highlights include, The Whole Show!
The first set is great with 'in the running for best ever' songs, one after the other. I think 1978 was just kind of like that.
Then the second set is quite extraordinary. Great opener with Mississippi Half-Step.
At the end Bob is playing some really wild slide, and I do mean in a good way!
And then they move into Franklin's and the crowd pretty much looses it, great moment.
About Bob's guitar again, really prominent in this show, even more so towards the end.
I'm guessing that Bob's guitar amp was pointing right at the taper and his mics.
I think probably most of the sound captured is direct from the stage amps and less the P.A.
Then the Dancing in the Street that comes next is just off the charts!
It's starts out pretty much like all of them from this era, but in the latter half of the tune
they start to get out there. And don't really stop. I would say this jam is right up there with
all of the best, one could name from earlier years. It's inspired!
Then the final encore is the 3rd ever Shakedown Street. It was pretty much fully developed by the first 2.
Great show!
Below are the original notes that I have renumbered.
To burn to CD, it would take 3.
Use your imagination. lol Maybe CD 1 tracks 01 - 08.
Then CD 2 tracks 09 - 12.
Then the final part of the show will fit all on CD 3,
tracks 13 - 20.

Above are the original notes for shn #100700.
=============================================
This is a remaster of shn #100700.
There are small patch's in FT and NFA from the soundboard not mentioned in the original notes.
I have smoothed them out and disguised them a bit more here.
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
