Grateful Dead
The Downs of Santa Fe
September 10, 1983

Notes: IMHO this source is better than any circulating version of this show.  This version is a fresh transfer of master tapes that were recorded on a well cared for NAK 550.  Although this is a 16.1/44 transfer I believe the superior bass response and ability to handle Phil Bombs of the Nak 550 make this the best version of this show, even surpassing the recent 24/96 MOTB transfer of a D5 master.  I am curious to see if others agree. If the opportunity arises I will get a 24/48 transfer off the masters but for now it is what it is.  I forgot to split The Other One and GDTRFB so for now I have left them as one track.

Lineage:

Master cassette: Nak 550 with Nak 300 mics with shotgun caps
Taped by either Dead John or Bonner.  No one is sure who went down front to dance and who operated the deck on which night in Santa Fe.
