Grateful Dead
Noteworthy Jam Sandwiches

This is a collection of noteworthy jam sandwiches played by the
Grateful Dead. It is a revision of a collection originally circulated
on eTree in August, 2008.

http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=518155

The original collection was closely based on a list put together by
Eric Wybenga and published in his book _Dead To The Core: An Almanac
of the Grateful Dead_. This revised collection includes sources from
Eric's list that were omitted from the original collection because I
did not believe I should seed them at eTree. It drops some of the
versions I used to "replace" versions I didn't think I could seed. It
also adds other versions that were recommended in the comments on the
original collection, as well as versions that I thought should be
added. Remember, "noteworthy" does not mean "best". I welcome your
ideas about what should be included or dropped from the
collection. There could easily be a version 3.

A jam sandwich is a long jam with parts of one song on either side and
other songs in the middle. So for instance the band starts and ends
the jam with Dark Star (that's the bread, as it were), and plays other
songs in between (that's the tasty filling). Sometimes these
sandwiches stand on their own. Other times, they occur as part of
longer jams. In that case, I've looked for natural places to start and
end those longer jams, balancing a desire to avoid musical violence
and a desire to keep the total size of the collection manageable.

The track names are self-explanatory: they list the date of the
performance, the SHNID of the source, and shortened names of the songs
included in the track. The music in these tracks is exactly the same
as the music from the source indicated by the SHNID. When necessary, I
joined the songs into jams using "shntool join", I snipped white space
from the end of the tracks and sometimes added fades using WaveLab
6.0, and then I compressed the files using "flac --best". I used
shntool version 3.0.9 and flac version 1.2.1.

If you have the first version of this collection, you should be able
to leech over it and only grab the changes: you'll have to rename the
old tracks first, as I've had to use six-digit SHNIDs i this version
of the project.
