**Notes: 

This tape came from a member of the Grateful Dead's crew. This is not from the scanner in the parking lot. It was taped by the crewmember himself. I cannot reveal his name because I don't want to get him in any shit. I am not exactly sure how it was taped inside the venue. He told to me the story verbally about 4 years ago, and I cannot remember exactly what he said. But one thing I remember for sure, it came from him inside, not from the parking lot scanner. 

I met this guy when I was taping a GD member's ?post-dead? band in 1998. They happened to be playing at a venue where I know the soundman. I was taping off the board that night. I got into a conversation with one of the band?s crew. (this tape?s source) In talking I found out he was a former crewmember for the GD. 

On this particular night, the GD member?s band did not bring their own DAT deck. So this guy wanted a DAT clone of what I taped. We exchanged info but I did not get around to making his copy for a long while. During that time, he called me a couple of times and told me about this 95 sound check tape he had. We agreed and he sent me this tape in exchange for the DAT. He made my tape from his cassette master.

I had the 1st gen tape in late 1999 and made a copy for my roommate at the time. We?ve since parted ways. Unfortunately, in the 2001 move I lost my copy. I was at my former roommates house the other night and the topic of this tape came up. He dug out his copy and We listened to it. I realized it was a major upgrade to the currently circulating shn seed. So I?ve converted it.  Enjoy

This version is much better sounding without the distortion of the existing seed. It also contains more then the original seed including a few takes of Here Come Sunshine.  On the B side of the tape was an ear monitor feed from the Omni in Atlanta for the second live performance of Unbroken Chain from 3/29/95 complete with the band talking to each other in the ear monitors. That content will be seeded separately.

Big thanks to my friend Austin Mulhern for holding onto the tape which became the source for this transfer
