Comments:
Sting opened for The Grateful Dead several times in 1993. On May 15-16, 1993
he opened for the Dead at the Sam Boyd Silver
Bowl in Las Vegas. Audience tapes of these performances have always been
available but it was not until Fall 2002 that
soundboards of these shows began to surface. The good news is that both
shows sound terrific - there is a wonderful depth
to the music and the vocals and instruments are very well balanced. The bad
news is that the soundboards for both shows are
incomplete. The May 15th soundboard does not include the last part of "When
the World..." and "Every Breath You Take." The
May 16th soundboard does not include the opening track, "Blackbird." These
remastered and complete versions contain an
audience patch for the missing tracks. Also, although I usually don't like
to modify the music, I have made one minor
change. The opening of "Purple Haze" is botched in a manner that is both
awful-sounding and dangerous to perfectly good
speakers and ear drums. I have taken the liberty of minimizing but not
eliminating the offending passage.
