Grateful Dead   12/31/1972

Winterland Arena, San Francisco, CA
Source sbrd
Media cdr   4 discs
Notes Source: Vault pre-FM reels > DAT
Patch Source: pre-FM KSAN reel (http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=6340)
DAT > WAV : Sony PCM-R300 > RMEdigi96/8PAD > Soundforge 6.0 by Marc Pujol
WAV > SHN editing, encoding & patching by Matt Vernon........this source is a substantial upgrade in sound quality over the previously circulating version used here as the patch source. It has a larger dynamic range and significantly less hiss with different omissions, enabling a more complete version of the show to be assembled.

flaws:
- Start of Casey Jones, patch in Morning Dew and all of JBG, UJB and OMSN from previous circulating "prefm" source, which spectral analysis suggests was derived from multiple sources with perhaps some signal processing applied.
- some percussion sounding anomalies in left channel in TJed, referenced in banter after song ends
- Casey Jones patch at start ~ 24 seconds
- Morning Dew cross faded patch ~90 seconds
- d4t04 fades in
Trades Allowed Yes
Ratings Sound: A
