Notes For those who care about this sort of thing: not long ago, a very nice
copy of this show surfaced that purportedly derived from Dick Latvala's
cassettes made directly from the master soundboard reels. This copy has
cuts at the beginning of "Morning Dew" and in "Sunshine Daydream", and
is also missing "Casey Jones" and "One More Saturday Night". Very
recently, a "new" copy has surfaced without the extraneous cassette
generation and, purportedly, is derived directly from the master
soundboard reels. This copy is currently beginning to circulate (10/00)
via a "Tree" on The Well, and also has the cuts at the beginning of
"Morning Dew" and "Sunshine Daydream", but, includes "Casey Jones" and
"One More Saturday Night" which are missing from the previous version.
The "new" copy,however, introduces anomalies not present on the previous
version. Specifically, there are 2 drop-outs present during the banter
which occurs between the aborted "Playin' in the Band" and the actual
"Playin' in the Band"(disc 2 track 5),
a minor digi-snit at approximately the 4:15 mark of "Morning Dew" (disc
2 track 6),as well as missing the first several seconds of "Ship of
Fools" (disc 3 track 1). Subsequently,the 2 drop-outs in the banter
between the "Playin' in the Band"'s and the digi-snit in "Morning Dew"
were patched in from the MSR>Cassette>DAT version. That same MSR>C>D
version also provided the first 10 seconds of "Ship of Fools". The reel
flips in "Morning Dew" and "Sunshine Daydream" were patched using an
audience source. Please be aware that the occasional static/crackle- an
example of which occurs during the banter between the end of the false
start of "Playin' in the Band" and the restart of "Playin' in the Band"-
is present on both versions, so are presumed to be on the master reels
as well. Bottom line, I believe this to be the best available copy of
this show, compiled from 4 different sources,patched with TLC, and made
possible through the efforts of the usual group of suspects/mental
patients.
