Tech Notes Grateful Dead Capitol Theatre Port Chester NY

02-19-1971, Port Chester, NY
Complete show
An ESP experiment show; the second Betty Board; first show without
Mickey Hart.

genealogy of this recording:
7" two track BBD reel w/ Dolby A @ 7 1/2 ips > PCM501ES @ 44.055 kHz
PCM501ES analog out > Fostex D5 @ 48 kHz (Dolby not decoded?) > WAV >
Cool Edit Pro (filtering and sample rate conversion) > SHN data files
(seed)

The recording is in mono, and reflects very occasional analog tape
flaws such as bursts of flutter. These flaws are from the master. The
lineage information available states that Dolby A decoding was not
performed, but the sound is nevertheless very good and does not sound
compressed.

As with the other Port Chester recordings, a slight whine comes and
goes throughout the recording. We have applied a very light notch
filter as needed. The filtering was accomplished using Cool Edit Pro,
and consisted of a sequence of notch filters at and around 8k, approx
1k wide and only 2db in depth. The filtering was mainly during the
in-between banter but also on the songs where required - more so the
2nd set. In The Other One there were two short bursts of static that
appear to have come from the stage, and these were reduced in level.
No other filtering was performed.

As indicated in the set list, Bird Song is cut. There are also
several cuts on the master during crowd noise before Truckin' starts
the first set, but who cares?

Indicated timings in [ ] are of the music, not of the track.
