Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header
of each flac file. It will display on any player 
capable of directly playing flac files. 
If converted to wav during processing, all tags 
will be stripped, however audio data will remain 
unaffected. If you must transcode to a lossy format, 
do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.

D1T8 Franklins: 1:40-2:00 Right Channel Reduction

Audience Patch:
All of Scarlet Begonias and the
first 1:20 of Fire on the Mountain

Bill merged the two drums tracks together into one to make set two seamless; for some reason drums had been split across CDs 2 and 3. There's still a cut at 3.5 secs into drums. The Scarlet>Fire patch could use some work, it's not pitch-adjusted or cross-faded.

Recorded By Mason Taylor on a Nakamichi 550 Cassette Deck, on chrome tapes, with Nakamichi microphones; Transferred on a Nak Cr7A

Taper Notes:

View Notes"Mason B. Taylor was a taper from Chicago that recorded concerts by many bands in the Chicagoland area and on Dead tours. He used a Nakamichi 550 with Nakamichi 300 mics with shotgun capsules for most of his earlier recordings. In later years he used Sony D-5 and Sony D-3 cassette recorders with Nakamichi 300 mics.

Mason captured spectacular musical moments and loved to share them with his closest friends. In honor of Mason and all the love he put into his recordings we are now able to share these moments with those who can appreciate them most.

As the shows get uploaded we would love for you to share your stories about the epic times the music evokes so we can all dial back into that moment when the magic was happening.

Thanks to Mason’s family and his Chicago and Cleveland friends for opening up Mason’s Jar…"
