Notes

::: Pretty good, much better, now a lot of fun. Check samples for transformation acceptibility levels or trajectory tribulations.



::: Warts: Some brief spots of distortion in loud passages. Fixed dullspots & dropouts but surely missed a few.



::: Many Connecticut bands also billed, as noted in a college newspaper article 2 days before the show (but unclear who actually appeared): Randy Burns & The Morning After, Bone, Joy, Nighthawks, Trod Tiger & The Tunafish & (tentatively) Charisma. Swamp Gas, New Riders Of The Purple Sage, & the "Intergalactic Kazoo Band" (1 song only?) also played (photos&some video exist).



::: Excellent & extensively researched article on the day & era at http://deadessays.blogspot.de/2013/02/may-3-1970-wesleyan-university.html



::: Online comment, “The format was ‘Evening with the Grateful Dead,’ which started with an acoustic set by Jerry & Bob, followed by a New Riders set, followed by the Dead."



::: This acoustic set (around 7pm?) is Jerry & Bob accompanied by an unknown guest harmonica player, & Pigpen on organ for the last minute of #5. Phil, Bill & Mickey were late in arriving from Binghamton, NY. The Harpur College show was the previous night.



::: A much inferior AUD tape circulates of the Dead's electric set. Apparently video also exists of some songs & some of the day's events.



::: COMPARISON NOTES: Original shnid 9770 had date, location & source errors which were corrected in shnid 130667. This is an audio remaster of shnid 130667.



::: After downloading this recently, I listened & remembered the issues I'd had with it in the past. A very difficult listen with 1 channel almost inaudible, some panning between channels, distortion, extraneous noises, etc. Sounds as tho' it was miked almost directly in a PA speaker, so I decided to try a version with only the (MUCH) better right channel & remaster it to fix dropouts, dullspots & erratic level issues, as well as lower the distorted, overloaded vocal bits. It immediately became a far more enjoyable recording for me. Purists may not appreciate the tinkering, but I think some folks who love this era of acoustic Dead should be quite pleased. Informal Dead set? Bring it on.
