OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was my second time recording the Dead at Shoreline. The previous year, in 1987, I came home with really good sounding tapes that had a lot of punch and impact, being that they were recorded with the addition of the repeater towers on the lawn. In 1988 they moved the tapers section to Section 202, in the reserved section, directly behind the soundboard. We were a little closer to the stage PA, but we lost the addition of the repeater towers. When I ordered tickets through the Dead office I put a note in my mailer and requested to be next to 'Taper Ron' Owensby, my friend in Oakland who I stayed with when I went to Bay Area shows. I was blown away to see Ron walk up and have a reserved seat RIGHT next to me, in Section 202 Row E, the first row behind the board and front row of the tapers section! THANK'S GDTS!!!! :)

I will never forget, being in the first row of the tapers section, when Dan Healy passed his headphones to a lady to the left of my friend Ron during 'To Lay Me Down' in the first set. She listened to the board mix afor a bit, and I was sure that she was going to pass them to my friend Ron, and then hopefully I would get a turn. But instead, she handed them right back to Healy and that was that. Shucks! I would have loved to have heard the board mix, even if only for a brief bit. She wasn't even a taper and she got to experience that. I'm sure, looking back, that Healy only let her listen because she was a pretty girl.

I was having some trouble with my Sony 153, which turned out to be a dirty record switch as reported by the electronics repair shop, so I had borrowed a Marantz PMD-430 from my friend Dick, another taper I knew. (My guess would be the dust clouds from Ventura Fairgrounds '87 being the culprit.) I would eventally get the Sony TC-153SD deck working again, but in the meantime I got a new Sony WM-D6C PRO for Christmas '88, because I wanted a new deck and I wanted something that I could record other bands with and the 153 was just too large to take in for stealth shows.

I hadn't transferred this show, Oct 1 1988, until now because the first time I was going to transfer it to CD with my HHb CDR 800 about 10 or 12 years ago I found that the master tape of the first set had print through, but listening now it seems like it only affected the early part of the set, between 'Minglewood' and 'Peggy-O', where you can hear an echo in the quiet part of the tuning between songs. I was pleasantly surprised that the rest of the recording sounded so good. The second set doesn't seem to be affected at all.


Do NOT Convert To MP3.
Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. ;)
