GRATEFUL DEAD

Saturday, July 31, 1971

Yale Bowl, Yale University - New Haven, CT



I: AudMR > CD > EAC > WAV > SHN

II: AudMR > C > DAT > CD > EAC > WAV >SHN



single AKG 190E mic > Uher 4000 Report-L 5" Reel deck

Taper: Marty Weinberg



Analog to Digital Transfer: 1/2 track tapes on a

Revox A-700 (tweaked the head azimuth to match the original

recording). Signal fed into DigiDesign Pro Tools on a

Macintosh with Audio Media III sound card. The only post

processing was normalization.



Final digital version assembled by: Noah Weiner - noahbw@home.com



note: Weinberg recorded each set of this show on its own

reel. Both were in very delicate condition at the time

of the transfer (Summer 2001). The set two reel was

degraded so much in sound quality (a tremendous loss of

high end frequencies) that it proved better to used an older

cassette copy of the set two reel for this new distribution.

Also, Sing Me Back Home, Sugar Magnolia, and Casey Jones

had been recorded over on the master reel at some point

prior to the Summer 2001 digital transfer. Evidence of the

current state of the set two reel can be heard on the set two

intro, the first 23 seconds of Bertha, and the set two outro,

which do come from the master reel.



Also, the track list for set one differs from what prior

record keeping indicated. However, this new track order is

direct off the master reel. The old order seems to indicate

that songs were possibly rearranged to fit them more

comfortably onto cassette.
