This is the 2nd etree copy in circulation. It has one fewer tape generations than the first copy, and it has the complete NRPS 2nd set. From www.Deadlists.com (some edits): Early Show acoustic Dead set. On Cumberland and New Speedway David Nelson joins in on acoustic guitar while Jerry shifts to electric. On Cold Jordan Nelson switches to mandolin. Marmaduke adds harmony vocals to the last three tunes. Pigpen plays organ on New Speedway. Early Show NRPS set with Garcia, pedal steel. This is about half their set -- all there is on the master. Before Last Lonely Eagle Marmaduke asks where's "Bobby Ace" -- probably Weir was a guest vocalist later in the set. electric Dead: Before St. Stephen Pigpen says "Alright you people, you know who you are." Enterprising Fillmore East stagecrew patched a reel-to-reel machine underneath the stage into the PA feed and saved most of this show for us and eternity. They were busy setting up for the Early Show electric Dead set and blew their flip during the Early Show NRPS set, losing the second half of that set as a result, but the rest of this enormous evening's proceedings are recorded in their entirety. The master has only the left channel through the middle of Candyman (there are also splitter-generated 2-channel mono copies circulating). Around 4 hours of this show were broadcast by KPFA-FM Berkeley in 1971, further speeding the propagation of this tape (some early FM copies are dated "6/21/71;" this may be the date of the broadcast). For many years 5/15/70 was THE representative 1970 Dead tape -- Harpur College 5/2/70 and Winterland 10/4/70 its only rivals for wide circulation. Late Show acoustic Dead: David Nelson plays mandolin on I Hear A Voice Callin and Marmaduke adds bass vocals. Late Show NRPS set with Garcia, pedal steel. Bob Weir guests on vocals for Mama Tried, Sawmill and Me And My Uncle. There is a brief cut in Sawmill, with less than 10 seconds lost. After this set the master contains 15:13 of continuing signal, comprising parts of Side B of Abbey Road (playing on the PA during the break) interspersed with the sounds of the stage being rigged -- drums nailed down, etc -- followed by the sounds of tuning up. SET 3 is electric Dead. Beat It On Down The Line gets 14 beats. There is a cut 2:17 into St. Stephen; probably around 60 - 90 seconds are missing here. There is a cut 13:33 into Lovelight, but probably only a few seconds are lost. Over the last year it has been rumored that there is another SBD master of this show in the vault, which includes the rest of the Early Show NRPS set (and which would probably allow us to patch the few other glitches on the circulating master); however, nothing has emerged besides rumors thus far. Meanwhile, we owe an enormous debt of gratitude to those resourceful Fillmore East crewmembers who took the bull by the horns and MADE TAPE. Muchas Garcias, guys. CONTRIBUTORS Jim Powell Alan Mande |
