It's this performance of "Promontory" Rider" that initially got the ball rolling - when I posted a poor quality VHS transfer of it back in 2019, right after Hunter died, wishing I could locate better audio for it. Social media contains an over-abundance of negativity these days, but in this case it sucketh not, as that post connected me with Mark Severson and Pat Lee, both of whom recorded master audio of this show. Mark's pal ET Benson, who videotaped so much vintage Hunter at a time when equipment was big, bulky, prohibitively expensive and not exactly portable, was also kind enough to provide his original Beta videotape masters, which have never been digitally transferred before. This remarkable footage represents a little known slice of Grateful Dead history finally seeing the light of day 42 years after the fact. ItÕs not easy finding any kind of satisfaction these days, but bringing ET's Beta masters and Pat's 4-track master reels together, after all these years, is deeply satisfying to me. Thank you, ET Benson! Thank you, Pat Lee! And a major thank you to Mark Severson, as without you, the dots may never have been connected! Also thanks to Matt Smith, Mick Etherington and Cris Yarborough! And thank you to Kevin Tobin for helping us get this circulating and for hosting all the project footage on youtube. I was fortunate to see Hunter perform "Promontory Rider" dozens of times, both solo and with several other groups, including the Jerry Garcia Band (footage I also helped bring to light when I was logging the Metropolitan Archive masters for Wolfgang's Vault years ago). Out of all of them, this highly engaged performance still remains my favorite. This project is far from over as there's many additional hours of ET Benson's master footage of Robert Hunter during the 1980s. We've located audio masters for all of that, as well, so there's plenty more to synchronize - and a lot more to come. Stay tuned! Alan Bershaw (2022) |
