Notes:
--most of the cuts are a result of stopping the reel to save time/batteries, and are therefore very minor in most cases
--dropout @ 1:55 in Bobby McGee
--tape warble @ 6:05 in The Other One(1)
--tape damage(?) @ 6:39-6:50 in 2nd Other One
--tape warble @ 0:08 in 2nd Cryptical  
--Sound Forge was used for normalization, correction of the pitch, crossfades, and smoothing over troubled areas.  

Comments:
This is a decent mono audience recording of seeming moderate distance from the source of music.   The microphone is often bumped or moved, causing some noise.   The crowd is relatively quiet.  

Deadlists comments:
This show is usually listed on tapes and in Deadbase as 8/24/71. But, according to Dwight Holmes the circulating aud tapes for this show were made by Stephen Wade, who says that he only taped the first show (8/23) and not the second (8/24). Additional evidence from Jeff Tiedrich also indicates that this is 8/23 and not 8/24.

I attended this show and taped it from the audience. Sadly, my recorder malfunctioned and I only got 35:23 of The Other One suite (including the beginning of Cryptical), part of I Know You Rider, and Casey Jones. The latter two songs are not on J. Cotsman's setlist, but the Dead played them.

This is mostly from the 23rd, but the there are some songs from the 24th. There are also a bunch of songs missing.
