Taper Notes:
View NotesOldNeumanntapr Notes; This was my second time recording the Dead at Shoreline. The previous year, in 1987, I came home with really good sounding tapes that had a lot of punch and impact, being that they were recorded with the addition of the repeater towers on the lawn. In 1988 they moved the tapers section to Section 202, in the reserved section, directly behind the soundboard. (Maybe the venue was upset with microphone stands tearing up the lawn?) We were a little closer to the stage PA, but we lost the addition of the repeater towers. When I ordered tickets through the Dead office I put a note in my mailer and requested to be next to 'Taper Ron' Owensby, my friend in Oakland who I stayed with when I went to Bay Area shows. I was blown away to see Ron walk up and have a reserved seat RIGHT next to me, in Section 202 Row E, the first row behind the board and front row of the tapers section! THANK'S GDTS!!!! :) I was having trouble with my Sony TC-153SD which turned out to be a dirty record switch, most likely from the wind-driven dust at the Ventura Fairgrounds shows the previous summer. I eventually had it serviced but for these shows I used a borrowed Marantz PMD-430, from my friend Dick who was another taper I knew. For some reason lost to time, my recording of the October 1st show starts with Sugaree already in progress. Perhaps I was late to the show and wasn't able to get set up in time, or maybe I had some sort of an equipment failure. I don't remember. I would eventually get the Sony TC-153SD deck working again, but in the meantime I got a new Sony WM-D6C PRO for Christmas '88, because I wanted a new deck and I wanted something that I could record other bands with and the 153 was just too large to take in for stealth shows.
