Mics were about 10 to 12 feet high centered right behind the soundboard - actually one step away.

I had just purchased my D6 from Jack's Music in Red Bank. Thanks Andy. 
My best friend Bill introduces me to Kurt for the patch. This was my 2nd mini tour so far. 
This show was the 1st master aud for me and I was so glad for the connection created by 
Bill and Adam. I was 17 years old and still in high school on Easter break for the 
1st shows 4 of this tour. Thanks Kurt where ever you are! At this point 12/12/12, 
I'll trust you'll like this show.ENJOY!!!!!!

Otherwise generally smooth listening and very nice audio quality throughout. ***Just be sure to watch the low-mids and subs of your speakers, Phil and some Drums are very powerful on this recording!

View Notes# Mickey Hart on Djimbe

This is from the legendary 1984 Spring Tour run the first time they sold tour booklets, one ticket to every show that tour- we bought several booklets. The second set Scarlet >Fire is considered one of the top ten ever performed. Listen to Mickey on "talking drum" during Fire; the space/drums/space following Estimated is far far out there.

Recording Notes:
1] The Sennheiser binaurals were pressure gradient "omni" type capsules designed to be worn on a human head or the supplied dummy head. This is one of the best representations of how they sounded in this type of live environment. this will sound BEST through headphones; through a stereo you may choose to increase bass slightly.
2] First set tape was stopped between every song break; we must have been trying to conserve batteries. Second set same method until after drums.
+ Tape flip ~41.05
3] First minute has recording level variations; the Sound crew doesn't get it set for levels until start of second song.

View NotesThis recording was done to capture as much as possible. There were no tape flips requiring fast forwarding or rewinding during the actual recording. Side A of the first tape was recorded then Side A of the second cassette. Everything was then fast forwarded at the break and the B Sides were recorded. Very little crowd noise has been removed.
