| Notes: | This was apparently recorded by students doing a project for a Sociology class. This is surely one of the poorer audience masters from any era. The crowd is very loud as well. Frequently, the microphone is being moved around which affects the sound. Deadlists gives a slightly different order for the songs. The order given here is almost certainly correct, though, as the recorder frequently mentions the time of day during many of the songs. We can assume that when he mentions the time is "12:07" at the end of Good Lovin', he really means to say "10:07" (he mentions it is "9:48" near the beginning of the song). Deadlists also mentions that NRPS played Truck Drivin' Man & Fair Chance To Know preceding Me & My Uncle. The recorder also mentions that Good Lovin' is the seventh song played. We might then consider that this is the entire Dead set following a short set by the New Riders. Of course, that is no certainty. There is a small splice @ 1:30 of Good Lovin' Sound Forge was used to correct the pitch and normalize. Thanks to Jeff Cook encoding/edits J Cotsman | |||||

| Notes: | notes:- - a real snapshot of the Taper's section and the Psych Department discussion is heard more clearly than the music. This is a record of an event, not just a concert Recording" - information from posts to deadlists throws more light on the whole event: and the circumstances in which the show was recorded- 1. This will probably be of most interest to the oldtimers who can still enjoy vintage audience recordings, those who collect 1970 recordings missing from the Dead's vault or completists, not to mention the 1970 caretaker of Deadlists. I was recently given first generation reel to reel copies of The Dead and NRPS at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT on May 3, 1970 to transfer into the digital realm. I've checked Deadlists, Deadbase and The Compendium and I think this is the first time the complete contents of the master reels are together, as none of those listings include all of this material. I can also shed light on who recorded it, the accurate song order and how it probably came into circulation (partially) years ago. According to notes written on the first gen reels, the three original master reels were recorded by a Wesleyen student named Warren White as part of an assignment for a Professor Schenk (we think thats how its spelled. The handwriting on the reel cases is difficult to read). There were originally three master reels altogether, two half-hour reels and one hour-long reel, all recorded at 1 7/8ips. Those master reels were borrowed from Schenk by another student (in the late 1970?s) and dubbed to 1st generation reels by my wife's uncle - Alan Bershaw. Without a deck that would run at 1 7/8ips, Alan said he played the master reels back at 3 3/4 ips while recording them onto reels at 7 1/2 ips, which allowed him to play back his first generation reels at 3 3/4 ips - at the correct speed. At that time, several 90 minute cassettes (of the last 90 minutes, including all the Dead material) were given to friends of Alan's and to the guy who borrowed the master reels from Schenk. Currently circulating copies likely originated from those 2nd generation cassette dubs, many probably way down the line since this all happened in the late 70's. If Deadlists/Deadbase/Compendium is correct on what circulates, this new copy includes all of this material possibly for the first time. While this is still far from a great recording and its still probably incomplete, its likely an improvement over all the currently circulating copies. There are also no butchered songs and no reel stops/starts between songs like most audience recordings of this time. The geneology on this new copy is Master Audience Reels@1 7/8 ips (played back @3 3/4 ips)-> Reels@7 1/2 ips > (then played back @3 3/4 ips to correct speed on Revox A-77)->DAT@44.1k It should also be noted for context that this is the night before the Kent State shootings, which is significant in light of the various announcements on these recordings.

During the May '70 tour, the band used campus equipment to save money whenever possible, and for whatever reason Wesleyan did not hook up a recorder at the board. The Wesleyan show took place during a student strike to protest the war. The recording deck was an old reel-to-reel Uher machine owned by sociology professor Charles Lemert. Anyway, at the show, the portable Uher was passed around, which explains the hilarious banter among the crowd, and the apparent inability to read a clock. It was conceived, according to Lemert, as a sociological document, not a concert recording. The "sloping lawn behind the administration building" is actually called "Foss Hill." At Wesleyan, it's not entirely clear where Foss Hill ends and the baseball/football field smack-dab in the center of campus begins, but in any case, just calling it "Foss Hill" would certainly be accurate enough. pb (20 Sep 2002 ) P.S. For trivia buffs, Wesleyan is also the alma mater of John Perry Barlow, who was class president in '69, and Bill Belichick '75. | |||||

| Notes: | In my collection this is filler on Chicago 8/30/69 disc. Grateful Dead (*) 1970-05-03 Middletown, Connecticut Wesleyan University Foss Hill (M?-AUD *remastered*) Free all day open-air concert with multiple bands ~*~ (*)Garcia & Weir ACOUSTIC SET with guest harmonica player & Pigpen on one song ~*~ A "not-for-purists" NEWLY remastered version of shnid 130667 & shnid 9770. 01. --introduction & tuning-up-- 02. Deep Elem Blues 03. Friend Of The Devil 04. Silver Threads & Golden Needles (->) 05. Black Peter 06. --announcement-- Total Time ::: 22:30 ::: Pretty good, much better, now a lot of fun. Check samples for transformation acceptibility levels or trajectory tribulations. ::: Warts: Some brief spots of distortion in loud passages. Fixed dullspots & dropouts but surely missed a few. ::: Many Connecticut bands also billed, as noted in a college newspaper article 2 days before the show (but unclear who actually appeared): Randy Burns & The Morning After, Bone, Joy, Nighthawks, Trod Tiger & The Tunafish & (tentatively) Charisma. Swamp Gas, New Riders Of The Purple Sage, & the "Intergalactic Kazoo Band" (1 song only?) also played (photos&some video exist). ::: Excellent & extensively researched article on the day & era at http://deadessays.blogspot.de/2013/02/may-3-1970-wesleyan-university.html ::: Online comment, “The format was ‘Evening with the Grateful Dead,’ which started with an acoustic set by Jerry & Bob, followed by a New Riders set, followed by the Dead." ::: This acoustic set (around 7pm?) is Jerry & Bob accompanied by an unknown guest harmonica player, & Pigpen on organ for the last minute of #5. Phil, Bill & Mickey were late in arriving from Binghamton, NY. The Harpur College show was the previous night. ::: A much inferior AUD tape circulates of the Dead's electric set. Apparently video also exists of some songs & some of the day's events. ::: COMPARISON NOTES: Original shnid 9770 had date, location & source errors which were corrected in shnid 130667. This is an audio remaster of shnid 130667. ::: After downloading this recently, I listened & remembered the issues I'd had with it in the past. A very difficult listen with 1 channel almost inaudible, some panning between channels, distortion, extraneous noises, etc. Sounds as tho' it was miked almost directly in a PA speaker, so I decided to try a version with only the (MUCH) better right channel & remaster it to fix dropouts, dullspots & erratic level issues, as well as lower the distorted, overloaded vocal bits. It immediately became a far more enjoyable recording for me. Purists may not appreciate the tinkering, but I think some folks who love this era of acoustic Dead should be quite pleased. Informal Dead set? Bring it on. Recording Information ::: unknown stereo(?) recording equipment -> master AUD cassette (NOT a SBD as noted in shnid 9770) -> ? -> unknown generation tape used for shnid 9770 -> CDr > EAC > Soundforge (normalize & pitch correction -> shn -> aiff (xACT) -> flacs. (Theory is that this was an auto level record deck. I think it was stereo, otherwise I've no idea how the left channel got so screwed up & the information became so radically different from the right - not just offset or bad head problems). Playback 2014-07-22 ::: flacs -> TLH -> wavs -> Audacity using right channel for mono signal [fades, manual one-at-a-time glitch, bump, pop, click, dropout & dullspot repairs, volume adjustments, NO equalisation] -> CD Wave (track splits) -> flacs (Trader's Little Helper) -> yr ears. First uploaded week of 2014-08-03. Line-up ::: Jerry Garcia - acoustic guitar, vocals // Bob Wier - acoustic guitar, vocals // Pigpen - organ (end of "Black Peter" only) // ? (guest musician) - harmonica. ((There is some speculation that the harmonica player might be Will Scarlett or John Hammond)). Nothing here ever commercially released to my knowledge. If I'm wrong, please advise & I'll take the offending trax offline. DimeTravel 039 ::: Thanks to the original taper & traders! Many thanks to Matt Vernon, Raoul Duke, J. Cotsman & N. Hoey ::: Corrections welcome ::: Original shnid 9770 was as part of the Music Never Stopped Project 2002 which thanked Matt Vernon & Raoul Duke & had edits & encoding by J. Cotsman . Conversion to flac, tagging and corrected info by N. Hoey 2014-07-16 in shnid 130667. shnid 130667 was used to remaster the audio in this version.
