Note* This seed is an upgrade over all circulating copies. The reel tape was
carefully transferred by Gerhard Schinzel, reducing the speed problems
that marred previous copies. Gerhard has had a 1st generation copy
off Richard Wethey's master recording since 1976.
* The first seconds of Dire Wolf and Dark Star are cut.
* The d2t8 jam cuts off.
* About 2 minutes are missing from the beginning of Man's World.

The following are details of the tape speed correction that was performed digitally.
The numbers express the amount of semitones the source tape ran too fast:
* acoustic set: constant 0.4
* Gradual speed-up from 0.4 to 0.6 during Easy Wind & Cumberland,
* Dire Wolf: 0.6
* Dark Star: 0.5; almost constant
* Man's World: varying between 0.4 to 0.5

The attribution of the 4/24/70 date to this tape is debatable. Richard's notes
accompanying Gerhard's reel copy do not mention any specific day; the only information
given is "Mammoth Gardens Denver 1970", which leaves the choice between 4/24 and 4/25.
There is a newspaper article reviewing the second show; this article is transcribed at
http://www.mail-archive.com/deadlists@nemesis.cs.berkeley.edu/msg02287.html . The fact
that Man's World appears on this tape points to 4/25.
Uli Teute writes on Deadlists, "I don't know how the 24th got attributed to what richard
taped, but if he taped the 24. and the newspaper article is correct that would make 3 Dark
Stars in a row (the 26th also has a Dark Star) - very unlikely - plus the article
matches our tape just perfect. maybe we have the 25th. and do not know a bit about 4-24".
