I just got this VERY LONG message about the show, pasted below if
you're interested.

This is more  information than you want to know but it will prove the
TRUTH, I hope.

My name is Bob Aronson.  I taped nearly every west coast appearance
of the Grateful Dead, JGB, Bobby, and others from 1990-till the first
end.  The day Jerry died all of my masters where sealed and have not
been circulated at all.  If you have that tape, then it descended
from a few of the best human beings alive, and you are blessed.  May
it roll forever.

One day I will come out of seclusion and ALL of my material will be
digitized and posted.  This will be a **Slack** process so I don't
know when exactly. My tapes are very unique.  I worked very hard at
it.  I traded with a select few, several in Europe, but mostly I
became a taper to turn on people WHO DID NOT TRADE, so many of my
best gems are traded in NON TAPER  circles.  My mission was to give
the "have nots" something that the "haves" all wanted.  Also I like
to tape as much of the audience as possible: half time music, post
show, etc. Incedentally my collection is alwayes available to the
members of the Grateful Dead organization.  Everyone in the
organization.

That particular Bobby tape was made with a Denon DAT machine hooked
into my cheapest mics: Sonics Mics made for that model TCDD3 DAT
(sony sized) designed by a very talented guy up in Oregon named Guy
Lombardo - who I later had the honor of meeting at a Radiators gig at
the Hyatt in Eugene a few years since...  He makes custom mics for a
variety of Digital and Video apparatus, and the mics are worn
directly on YOUR HEAD.  I higly recommend them wher mic sre not
allowed.  I preferred to wear FBI or Elvis Costello glasses, unless
at the Warfield where I would wear a nice homosexual looking pair of
fruity pebbles glasses.  I NEVER got busted (or laid) with sonics
because I was fucking disciplined, and I'm not gay, not that I have
anything against Jerry Seinfeld.

I never moved my head laterally, and I could run my deck BY FEEL and
would never expose any apparatus to security even though they had
long suspected what I was up to.  I drove them nuts.

On the original tape you can hear me at the bobby gig, then talking
to Bobby directly after the gig, (Mike took my photo with bobby) and
then getting into my car and RACING 150 miles to Jerry/Grisman at the
Warfield at which point you hear my conversation with Cheryl (BGP
Security at the Warfield door) who searched me, and failed, and then
let me into the interlude of ARABIA at the end of Jerry/Grisman's
first set.  I had started the tape again 10 feet in front of the
door.  Man I was sly.

2 shows, one tape, one day, 3hours and 150 miles apart.  Its a great
story and its true I swear.

Let it be known that Bobby was known to perform off the record
throughout the years.  Occasionally, a sneaky boy like me would get
in on that action, even at private gateherings around a campfire.  So
if you have'nt heard of the information on a tape please DO NOT
correct it logically with guess work.  It becomes like a game of
telephone and has fucked up deadbase for years.  Pompous arguements
have no validity as to misconstued details.  Always trace the source.

The sound system in Cachagua was borrowed from a local band at the
time known as "The Young Presidents".  There was one large JBL
Speaker on stage left and a smaller Altec-Lansing on stage right.
The stage was in the south end of the back yard and faced north to
the back deck of the house about 60 yards up the slope.  I stood like
a statue about 12.7 feet in front of the big speaker, with my FBI
glasses on.  Therefore, it is a binaural stereo omnidirectional
recording with a mono source (One speaker).  A mono source in a feild
of space with a stereo pair.  This is the tried and true best method
of recording with Sonics.  I got results li
