Grateful Dead
Civic Center - Providence, Rhode Island
Thursday - April 4th, 1985


This is a soundboard of unknown lineage.
Transfer:  XLII tapes BX-300 w/o Dolby on playback > Philips standalone CDR > CDWav to split and encode as Flac (level 5).

This is likely from the same source as the ciruclating soundboards, but without the apparent Dolby Abuse on the others. Discussing it with the friend I got this from, we think it's no more than 4 or 5 generations.  Obvious care was exercised in handing this down the line... probably nothing but Maxells and Nakamichi cassette decks were used.  It sounds very nice!  Except for:

## --there is a very unfortunate cut in She Belongs to Me at 4:06.56, which lasted for 5.48 seconds.  It appears that someone forgot to "pop the top" off their cassette, so I suspect it's not present on the master (wherever that might be).
--there is some "rolling hiss" at the beginning of Miracle.  Chalk this one up to the ravages of time on cassettes.
** --segments of Drums and Space are obviously missing. The right channel is missing for a few seconds at the beginning of Space. There is a cut between Space and the intro to The Wheel. I have made no attempts at patching these.
--there is no tuning or crowd noise at end of set 1, beginning of set 2 or before the encore. All the songs are there in full, however.



My hope is that this seed will get people to check their cassette collections.  Does anyone have a better version of this?
