Taper Notes:
View NotesThis will probably be of most interest to the oldtimers who can still enjoy vintage audience recordings, those who collect 1970 recordings missing from the Dead's vault or completists, not to mention the 1970 caretaker of Deadlists. I was recently given first generation reel to reel copies of The Dead and NRPS at Wesleyan University in Middletown, CT on May 3, 1970 to transfer into the digital realm. I've checked Deadlists, Deadbase and The Compendium and I think this is the first time the complete contents of the master reels are together, as none of those listings include all of this material. I can also shed light on who recorded it, the accurate song order and how it probably came into circulation (partially) years ago. According to notes written on the first gen reels, the three original master reels were recorded by a Wesleyen student named Warren White as part of an assignment for a Professor Schenk (we think thats how its spelled. The handwriting on the reel cases is difficult to read). There were originally three master reels altogether, two half-hour reels and one hour-long reel, all recorded at 1 7/8ips. Those master reels were borrowed from Schenk by another student (in the late 1970¹s) and dubbed to 1st generation reels by my wife's uncle - Alan Bershaw. Without a deck that would run at 1 7/8ips, Alan said he played the master reels back at 3 3/4 ips while recording them onto reels at 7 1/2 ips, which allowed him to play back his first generation reels at 3 3/4 ips - at the correct speed. At that time, several 90 minute cassettes (of the last 90 minutes, including all the Dead material) were given to friends of Alan's and to the guy who borrowed the master reels from Schenk. Currently circulating copies likely originated from those 2nd generation cassette dubs, many probably way down the line since this all happened in the late 70's. If Deadlists/Deadbase/Compendium is correct on what circulates, this new copy includes all of this material possibly for the first time. While this is still far from a great recording and its still probably incomplete, its likely an improvement over all the currently circulating copies. There are also no butchered songs and no reel stops/starts between songs like most audience recordings of this time. The geneology on this new copy is Master Audience Reels@1 7/8 ips (played back @3 3/4 ips)-> Reels@7 1/2 ips > (then played back @3 3/4 ips to correct speed on Revox A-77)->[email protected] It should also be noted for context that this is the night before the Kent State shootings, which is significant in light of the various announcements on these recordings. During the May '70 tour, the band used campus equipment to save money whenever possible, and for whatever reason Wesleyan did not hook up a recorder at the board. The Wesleyan show took place during a student strike to protest the war. The recording deck was an old reel-to-reel Uher machine owned by sociology professor Charles Lemert. Anyway, at the show, the portable Uher was passed around, which explains the hilarious banter among the crowd, and the apparent inability to read a clock. It was conceived, according to Lemert, as a sociological document, not a concert recording. The "sloping lawn behind the administration building" is actually called "Foss Hill." At Wesleyan, it's not entirely clear where Foss Hill ends and the baseball/football field smack-dab in the center of campus begins, but in any case, just calling it "Foss Hill" would certainly be accurate enough. pb (20 Sep 2002 ) P.S. For trivia buffs, Wesleyan is also the alma mater of John Perry Barlow, who was class president in '69, and Bill Belichick '75.

Taper Notes:
View NotesOutdoor concert on the lawn outside the administration building. -- This was apparently recorded by students doing a project for a Sociology class. This is surely one of the poorer audience masters from any era. The crowd is very loud as well. Frequently, the microphone is being moved around which affects the sound. Deadlists gives a slightly different order for the songs. The order given here is almost certainly correct, though, as the recorder frequently mentions the time of day during many of the songs. We can assume that when he mentions the time is "12:07" at the end of Good Lovin', he really means to say "10:07" (he mentions it is "9:48" near the beginning of the song). Deadlists also mentions that NRPS played Truck Drivin' Man & Fair Chance To Know preceding Me & My Uncle. The recorder also mentions that Good Lovin' is the seventh song played. We might then consider that this is the entire Dead set following a short set by the New Riders. Of course, that is no certainty. - There is a small splice @ 1:30 of Good Lovin'. - Sound Forge was used to correct the pitch and normalize.
