"This show is dedicated to the memory of Ken Kesey, who passed away
while I was editing Disc 2 at the time... he "guided me" through a very
tough section which contained a large number of master volume changes!
I'll shake his hand again someday, and tell him 'Thanks for the help'...
and I know Ken will just give me that knowing wink of his..."
Jay Serafin, owner/chief engineer, Serafin Station Studio B

JAY'S PERSONAL COMMENTS:

NOTE: This is NOT the version of the show which is in circulation now;
that copy is the "regular SBD" mix, while this version is the Monitor
Mix version (differences in mix and volume for each instrument and
vocalist). This information was verified by my Marin County source, who
sent me this version to work on and release.
