04/17/71 Set I
Dillon Gym, Princeton University, Princeton NJ

Growing up near Princeton, this show was one of the first dead tapes
I ever heard. My copy was probably S:RCCCCCCCCCCC but I loved it anyway.
I later received a much better copy (sounded like 2-3 analog gens) with
a really lame flip at 45 minutes (aka middle of King Bee).

When I first got my DAT deck, a kind soul (thanks Mike) spun me a copy
of the set. This copy had a cut in Lovelight but beat the analogs any day.
I finally found a copy without the infamous cut in Lovelight and decent
levels to boot.

Since this set was worth the trouble of getting different copies
at least 5 times, I figured that I'd distribute it further than it has
been until now.


The lineage of these files is:
Main: S:R?D
DAT was downsampled into my computer via ZA2 (48>44.1)


This tape is NOT an A+, healy master to DAT, multi-track remix, 96bit A>D
conversion. This is from a reel made in 1971, so you will hear some rough
bits. To the best of my knowledge, this transfer represents the best
circulating copy in existence.
