In any case, I recommend just buying a copy of Dick's Picks 16! -DSH -- Grateful Dead Fillmore Auditorium San Francisco, CA 11/08/1969 MR (Dick Latvala) > DAT > SoundForge (Jim Wise) > CD Disc 1 51:35 1.

Tuning 2:55 Notes: This is the same seed as http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=82, with md5s d1c & d2c, with the tracks renamed to etree yy-mm-dd convention in the correct order. Saint Stephen and AWBYGN were incorrectly labelled as d2t07 & d2t01, respectively. These have had their names swapped to obtain the correct tracking. ======================= Jim Wise's essay About 11/8/69 It wasn't too long after I met Dick in person when he let me in on what he really was into for a 2-track pick from 1969. When he started coming east for Dicks Picks parties several years ago he found comfortable accommodations at my home. I had already an internet & telephone correspondence with this fascinating man for 2 years prior but had never met him in person, & luckily for me, Dick & I had several long time mutual taper friends who vouched for me, so the ice was broken in advance. I credit my wife Dani for rounding him up. He could have fun with her (and vice versa) & we could bullshit about tapes all night long. I had 11/8 in my collection in several different forms for years, but never really sat down with it the way Dick showed me how to. Dick was like Santa Claus & whenever he would show up (once he called with little advance warning & said he was only one hour away, so get ready for him) he literally had a bag full of tapes, both cassette & dats. He good naturedley would love to see me squirm in anticipation & enjoyed teasing me, 'cause he knew that I was a tape addict, much like himself. On a visit 2 years ago he sat me down in my living room, we smoked a fatty, & he pulled out his dat of 11/8 & said "sit down, shut up, & listen". As the opening notes of "Dark Star" rang out I watched him curl up, close his eyes, & immerse himself in the sound. The last words he uttered for the next hour & one half were" Its quiet now, but it gets LOUD" This is when 11/8 really made it's impression on me, & so did the infamous clicks! This was Dick's dilemma; he loved this set so much, but knew that there were tech flaws on the master. He also had enough experience with his teammates John Cutler & Jeffrey Norman, to realize that this would be extremely difficult to persuade them to do the work in order for its official release as a DP. He was also afraid that it would be rejected as a pick, like so many other shows he wanted in the past were. It was only a few months prior that I had started experimenting with a PC based hard disk recording & editing system, so we grabbed his dat & downloaded a sample to look at the wav file as it appears on screen. We farted around for a bit & I found some clicks visually & zoomed in & simply re drew the glitch with something called the "pencil tool". This smoothed out the wav & that single click disappeared both visually & on more importantly, on playback, auditory. When Dick's business was concluded on the East Coast, he left his dat with me the play with. His aim was to give John Cutler a reasonable tape to listen too, in order to introduce him (JC) to the performance. What Dick had left with me specifically was a dat clone from his personal cassette copy of Bears 7inch-?-track 7/5-ips master reel. The redrawing of the glitches was unbelievably tedious, but relatively easy during the quiet passages, so I spent several days working & sent him back a dat of the first few minutes of "Dark Star". He called me back in a whirlwind of enthusiasm & a week later the Dat clones direct from the masters arrived at my PO box. Now I really went to work & believe me when I tell you this was truly a labor of love. Upon inspection this is what I found; the clicking was present on the right channel of the entire show to 11/7, & the entire show of 11/8, that is up until the reel flip in the "Other One", when it mysteriously vanishes! I uploaded the 94-minute Dark Star & ensuing jam onto hard disk. There is a brief segment before Dark Star begins where you can really capture what's known as a "noise print". This was basically just pure clicks without any music, or other noise in the background, & would be needed if it I could determine that a noise reduction run would be effective.
