| Notes | Please note that Bill Graham introduced the band on this recording, mentioning David Freiberg, who appeared on most of the songs now being offered. The percussionist was noted to be John Barbata instead of Covington. Balin appears only on the final track. The comments by Bill Graham at the end of each disk suggest that there may have been 2 sets or 2 shows on that date. The answer is there were 2 sets. As far as we know, Thirty Seconds Over Winterland (TSOW) songs were taken from shows at Chicago and San Francisco in the fall of 1972. Some copies of much of a complete show have made the rounds and many of us have passed them along. We suppose that a hole in the history of JA involves what was recorded on what night, from what set, from what source, from what mix, etc. Due to the generosity of Dave Tamarkin, we now have what is likely the best version of 09-22-72 that can be found. Seems so to us. Perhaps you will think so, too. The show is complete in representing all the songs known to have been performed at Winterland, most notably the rarely performed (Bastard) Son Of Jesus and a different version of When The Earth Moves Again than that spread previously. The seed tapes required some fixes, mostly due to highly variable levels, as well as removing some digi-pops, dropouts, etc. An unavoidable cut will be found at 5:48 on track 6 of disk 2 (Feel So Good). There are some other minor cuts, such as the beginning of the introduction by Bill Graham on track 1 of disk 1. We suspect that very little of substance is missing. No equalization or tape hiss reduction was employed. If TSOW was sweetened in studio before release, such may be apparent from noticing a few errors in performance. Not many, but a few. This is classic, soaring JA at the end of their run. |
