| Comment | January-February 1966 ?? (exact date unknown) "The Viola Lee Blues Rehearsals" This is a wonderful piece of Dead rehearsal tape that I have not seen circulating in the digital realm. The cassette was played back on Nak CR7E with azimuth adjustment. Sound Forge was used for noise reduction. Research and A>D transfer by Uli Teute Sound tweaking and SHN seeding by Hanno Bunjes August 2003 Update 5/2018 - according to research done by Lost Live Dead blog guys, it seems likely this material comes from reels labeled "Watts".
