Commentaires

From: Herve Andral Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2009

...Je me souviens il y avait King Crimson, et Beck/Boggaert/Apice deux jours de suite a la Rotonde, devenue ensuite salle Jacques Brel, à Fâches. Beaucoup ne pouvaient pas se payer les deux concerts. Finalement, on a pu entrer voir la seconde partie du concert.

Celui qui organisait ces concert, c etait Albert Warin, ex propriétaire du Piblokto en Belgique, qui avait vu tant de groupes passer. On raconte que pour Deep Purple, comme ils n etaient payés qu a moitié, ils ont décrété ne faire qu un demi set. Et avec leur light show le plafond s est effondré.

Albert a donc jeté son dévolu sur Lille. Il a entre autres programmé le concert du Dead, toujours à la Rotonde. Et là, on est rentrés dans l Histoire car le camion du groupe a été saboté, en mettant dit-on du sucre dans l essence, car le Gibus était jaloux de ne pas avoir le groupe. Dans la salle, l ambiance était apocalyptique, car le groupe,faute de matériel, ne pouvait jouer.

Jour historique ou j ai rencontré Phil Lesh et Bob Weir, blancs comme des morts (ohh le gag !) devant la fureur des spectateurs. Finalement, dans les semaines qui suivirent, Albert a remboursé les places. C est alors que les Beaux Art sont entrés en piste car rembourser des tickets, il en a remboursé, le Albert. C est Milleville,le disquaire rue des Ponts de Commines, qui s occupait du remboursement et le trottoir était noir de monde, avec ceux qui venaient se faire rembourser D ailleurs Albert a du arrêter de rembourser, au grand dam de ceux qui, eux, avaient de vrais tickets.

Un vrai scandale.
J en ris encore.
Et bien sur le miracle est arrivé.
Pour faire oublier l incident, le Dead a donné un concert gratuit sur l Esplanade du Champ de Mars à Lille.

UN CONCERT GRATUIT DU DEAD A LILLE

Ça a été l événement intercontinental. Ensuite, il y avait deux catégories de gens a Lille dans le microcosme, ceux qui y étaient et les autres. Il y avait une troisième catégorie, rares j espère, ceux qui y étaient et n ont pas aimé. Mais ceux-là, on ne leur parlait même plus. Rayés des vivants, les vilains. Je me souviens d un abruti qui nous a soutenu dans les mois qui suivent QUE LE DEAD NE SAVAIT PAS JOUER. Et de nous parler de Genesis, qui eux étaient de vrais musiciens Heureusement que ce soir là on était trop fatigués pour le clouer au pilori, ou le pendre a la grande verge. N importe comment, on était pas chez nous, et on ne pouvait pas salir. Car bien sur le reste de l Humanité présente a connu une après midi qui dépassait les mots. On a vu des gens allumer leurs cigarettes par le filtre et qui continuaient a fumer comme si de rien était.

C était un des derniers concerts de Pig Pen, et je le voyais, minuscule,avec de grandes lunettes, lui que l on avait connu énorme, gros et gras. Je le revois encore, sur son orgue, chantant « it hurts me too » tout en faisant pleurer son harmonica. Tout était magique dans ce concert

Ils arrêtaient de jouer, les nuages menaçaient, on sentait quelques gouttes, ils recommençaient a jouer, les nuages s en allaient.

Enfin un concert du Dead, quoi.

The following is excerpted from Bill Giles notes on the remastering:
First the bad news: First note or two of Bertha (d1t1) is missing there is a momentary irrepairable drop out at 5.05 in Truckin' (d2t4) on the original sources. There's also a miniscule drop out in Dark Star (d3t1) at 14.45 - but hardly noticeable there are a few whirrs and bangs that seem to originate from the bass, noticeable mainly in Casey Jones and OMSN. These originate from the master reel. Virtually all the breaks between songs were cut on the source CD: these have been tidied with fades and pauses. The rest is all good news - you only need read on if interested in the detail. The main work is set out below.

DISC 1 and 2
Cumberland Blues:
extracted from Europe 72, pitch flattened by one-third of a semitone to concert pitch (- 2% speed), and patched between Next Time and B.E. Women.
Brown-Eyed Women: volume reduced by - 2.0 dB to match the rest of the set

General:
Left channel balance increased + 2.5 dB in all songs (except Cumberland) to place drums in stereo centre. (The stereo balance was noticeably right biased.) Various minor pops, crackles, glitches removed or scrubbed in varioussongs (mainly Bertha, T Jed, Playing, Truckin')

DISC 3
In addition to the new source (which has a number of faults), I had 5 versions of Disc 3 to choose from. Although all are ex Sonic Solutions (and thank you David Gans for all of this), amazingly enough each one is different! There are the 'post FM compressed' models, the 'uncompressed missing first notes of Dark Star' models, and the 'lamentable to pretty good Dark Star > Sugar Mag transition reel splice' models, plus permutations. All these models have a number of other common minor defects that I've repaired. I probably haven't caught them all - but you gotta be careful: one man's glitch could be Billy's rimshot!
All versions of Dark Star seem to come from two vault sources.
There is a slight but perceptible change in sound at 5.33. I guess this arises from the tape used for the 24 minute extract on the 'Glastonbury LP' that started around this point.
This remaster is based on the 'non-compressed, includes the first notes of Dark Star' model which I believe to be closest to the Sonic Solutions master, though the splice left room for slight improvement.
Main corrections are:
Dark Star: various digi-crackles and glitches removed 31.30 - 31.40 The splice is now millisecond perfect (and validated against the AUD tape!), and I've adjusted the volume profile after the splice (what splice?!!)
Caution: a few minor glitches removed between 1.30 & 3.10

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

sound is generally a bit muddy, some hiss Pigpen's voice is almost inaudible at times and sometimes distortion & pops from Keith's piano pick-up, the best & most complete version currently in circulation

a lot of minor anomalies (mainly clicks) throughout discs 1 + 2 d3t03: tape warble @18:47-18:52, sounds like a master cassette flaw d1t06: very beginning is missing (a few seconds worth)

Bill Giles remastering notes:
"What do you do with an excellent concert that circulates digitally on muddy CD only and for which cassette copies, while superficially brighter, carry a lot of noise and distortion? Frustrating. I suspect the CD's lack of edge is the result
of an uninspired noise reduction job [which makes the MC>D>CD lineage questionable]. I've simply tried to brighten itup by re-equalisation. I've also rebalanced the tracks (the right track was relatively overweight) and attenuated a few glitches. It ain't great, but it's definitely better. From the master disc, the opening notes of Big Boss Man are missing, and the start of Good Lovin' is an AUD patch; and there are some crackles, particularly in Brown-Eyed Women and Truckin', and a number of drop-outs and wobbles throughout the concert.

I would not describe it as 'remastered' - just 'tidied up'. I guess linage should read: MR>??>CDR>Sound Forge 4.5>CDR"

----------

From Jim Powell:
"This is the complete show off reels from the 1st generation cassette source, with Bobby McGee and Cumberland patched from excellent 2nd generation FM-SBD cassette, It Hurts Me Too from a second SBD source, and the tape flip during the Good Lovin' sequence patched from 1st generation FM-SBD cassette. It is superior to all versions in circulation and should be definitive until GDM releases the show.

"Jack Warner did the patches and mastering. Jim Powell instigated and organized the project. Greg Hurwitt is administering the tree."

----------

From Greg Hurwitt, phobos@quik.com :
March 2002 - Digital processing for entire seed: CD master>CD>EAC>Cool Edit 2000>SHN

CD master > CD by Jim Powell via Tascam CD duplicator

CD > EAC > Cool Edit 2000 > SHN by Greg Hurwitt
- Ripped with EAC V0.9b2 (test and copy tracks with all track CRC's verified OK).
- There were about a dozen clicks on my CD copy that were not present on the CD master. I used Cool Edit 2000 V1.0 to remove these. I also used Cool Edit to remove audible artifacts at about a half dozen track boundaries. All click removal was done on very narrowly targetted (usually 3-4 sector) sections of music.
- Verified all tracks cut on sector boundaries with shntool V1.01.
- Used mkwACT V0.97b1 to create SHN's (SHN v3 with seek data embedded).

Remaining digital flaw: There is a digi-drop (about 4 sectors long) at d4t6 1:14.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

COMMENTS
The tape in circulation contains the soundcheck (Loser, BT Wind) and the show except Mr. Charlie, Sugaree and Saturday Night. There is also a fragment of Saturday Night with poor sound from the TV broadcast. One More Saturday Night is on the commercially released MTV video "Closet Classics".

Notes:
1. shntool confirms tracks on sector boundaries

d1t1 ~01:52.07 brief sub-second splice from fix of gap
d1t1 ~03:12:25 some warbly sound in right channel from partial loss of high frequencies

The SBD supplies Good Lovin', Casey Jones, Dark Star-->Sugar Magnolia, and most of One More Saturday Night


Caveat:
--The sources for this recording are well below par. The audience recording is decent for some portions (for the era) and is merely listenable for other portions. The SBD is rather degraded, and shows signs of tape stretching, especially for the tracks following Me & My Uncle. Sound Forge was used to adjust a significant and varying pitch problem for the SBD portions as well as to correct the pitch of the AUD portions. This SBD has been circulating listed as SBD>MR>C>D>CD, which seems unlikely. Besides the profound Dark Star, this recording might only be suited for completists.

Notes:
--first few notes of China Cat are clipped
--first few notes of Loser are clipped
--first few notes of Good Lovin' are clipped
--audience patch from 18:15 to 20:30 in Dark Star (d3t01)
--first few notes of Not Fade Away are clipped
--reel flip in Not Fade Away reprise
--audience patch for final 45 seconds of Saturday Night

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

This is an upgrade to the previous shn set
http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=9197

The
sound quality here is on par with the commercially released tracks, while the previous shn set I now believe to have been from an FM broadcast based on the spectral signature and hiss level. This new shn set also includes El Paso which was missing from the previous, "FM" shn set. Although I do not know the exact source/lineage information, it is probably from the same 16 track tapes used for the commercial release.

Comments:
* Second Encore
- sbd was pitched to match the aud source. The pitched varied thoroughout and for the longer songs multiple pitch corrections for different segments were required. There are still artifacts, especially before reel or cassette flips.
- Cool Edit Pro used for pitching, crossfades, etc... with highest accuracy settings
- there is little audio above 8kHz on this sbd so it pales in comparison to the better E72 boards available
- d1t1 (fades in and out) 1:06-1:09 hiss level changes briefly 5:37-5:40 overload distortion (as Keith mixed in higher?)
- d1t4 some overload like distortion at times when everyone plays chords together and on Bob's vocals
- d1t5 & d1t6 some distortion on Phil's bass and Garcia's guitar and vocals at times
- d1t7 overload distortion most promient on harmonica
- d1t8 mild overload distortion occasionally on vocals, piano, guitars
- d1t9 spots where bass and vocals have mild overload distortion
- d2t1 residual speed variation before some reel flips
- d2t2 mixes changes at the start
- d2t3 some distortion and a few very brief partial drop outs. 2:51 volume briefly drops
- d2t4 distortion on vocals and some of phils chords
- d3t1 reel flip cross faded with aud
- d3t2 reel flip cross faded with aud
- d3t5 opening notes cross faded from aud, hiss level different than preceeding tracks, more "aud" like ambiance

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

************************************************************

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Olympia Theater, Paris, France

Lineage:
Soundboard->Master Reel (multi-track)->DAT x 5

Transfer:
DAT->Audiophile 2496->Samplitude v7.02 Professional->FLAC
De-clicked/popped and normalized with Cool Edit Pro v2.0

DAT seed provided by Michael P. Weitzman
Transfer and SHN by Joe Samaritano
4/23/2005

Notes:
1. This is a fix of shnid 21923 where my Win98 machine w/ZA2 was on it's last leg. The channels on that source flew all over the place.
2. This differs from shnid 142 (Masse) in that there is no digital noize during Bertha, no dropout in Drums, no dropout at the beginning of the 2nd Other One, and no noise during the final 2 minutes of Wharf Rat.
3. Consistent with other copies, Casey Jones has a skip ~4 minutes in.
4. This time I left out the China Cat->IKYR, Tennessee Jed, and Jack Straw patches. These can be dropped in from the Europe 72 CD. Buy it if you don't own it. I skipped these track numbers for easy re-naming later.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Grateful Dead
5/7/72
Bickershaw Festival
Wigan, England

Discs 1 & 2 are a compilation of multiple Audience sources which were used to piece together the complete 1st set and first 4 songs of the 2nd set. A big thanks to Mick Etherington, Dave Lang, Simon Mould, Simon Phillips, as well as Chris Jones- the only taper we can identify- for supplying their copies of this show, as well as Alan Schlissel and Steve Barbella for getting the different versions all in one place. The various versions were all speed corrected, but there are still some speed fluctuations and "wow and flutter" here and there.

Discs 3 & 4 are supplied from a Master Soundboard Reel > DAT source. The previously circulating, 2nd set partial Betty Board was used to patch "The Other One".

There is a 5th disc which contains the NRPS set and is not for the faint of heart.

I was approached by Mick Etherington about finding and putting together the best possible sources for his only Dead show, the Bickershaw Festival. Bickershaw was a 3 day festival with many popular bands of the day. By all accounts the weather was cold and rainy with mud everywhere. The cold weather wreaked havoc with the equipment and the band and it made conditions extremely unpleasant for concertgoers. Mick recalls sheltering under the sound tower from the rain, wet and tired after a long weekend.

Mick had long harbored the dream of getting the whole show together after having listened to the second set from Dark Star onwards that had circulated for some time. What Mick started ultimately became an effort spanning 2 oceans and 3 or so continents to find all versions of this show that were known to be in circulation. We eventually turned up many pieces of this show, some workable, others not. We were only able to identify one of the tapers, Chris Jones, who did a good job considering the circumstances. Mick introduced me to Dave Lang who provided many of the versions used here and he was able to connect me with other people who provided their alternate versions.

I approached Steve Barbella to locate someone with the knowledge and proper equipment to analyze, clean up and sew together the bits and pieces. Steve suggested Scott Clugston and I subsequently mailed him a large stack of discs. Scott examined all the source material and the result of this effort speaks for itself. Scott supplied his copy of soundboard material that was used on discs 3 and 4. After some consideration he decided to use only audience tapes for discs 1 and 2 since the soundboard segments we obtained were of poor quality.
Scott considers this to be one of the more difficult projects he has worked on and I thank him for his time and talent.

Only a few hours after I initially released this "new" show, Steve contacted me to say that he had heard from Seth Kaplan and that he had a version of the soundboard that did not have a cassette generation in it. We agreed to recall the few copies that we released and to see what Seth had. Seth had the same partial set 2 soundboard only it was remastered by Bill Giles, whose comments follow below.

Scott contacted me regarding this new soundboard version and according to him:
"I've spoken at length with Jeff Tiedrich regarding the Sbd portion of this show.....here's the scoop;-)........when the more complete copy of the 2nd set began to circulate, we were told that the lineage was MSR>DAT.....after listening, and based on the hiss levels, the pedigree was questioned and the source came back and said that it was possible that there was a cassette gen present, but couldn't confirm one way or the other........being a bit conservative when it comes to pedigrees, we opted to list this new copy (with the Betty Board patch in The Other One) as MSR>C>DAT........this was approximately March of 2000.........I never gave it a second thought and since then, Jeff has confirmed that what we have (and patched) is MSR>DAT......"

In all likelihood, Scott's version has the same lineage as this upgrade.

This upgrade has a very nice patch that restores the opening notes of Dark Star. Also, Bill scrubbed some broadband noise from the quiet passages of that song. I did an A/B comparison of discs 3 and 4 and found that the 2 versions were identical in quality except for the patch of the first 5 notes of Dark Star and a slightly reduced noise level during certain quieter passages in Dark Star.

The other advantage to using Seth's version of the soundboard is a little extra banter at the beginning of disc 4 before Sugar Magnolia and some excerpts of assorted stage banter that was placed after the encore.

I verified and fixed sector boundaries with shntool and seek enabled all tracks with seek tables appended using shn v3.

Enjoy the show,
Alan Schlissel

"I'd like to pass on my sincere thanks to all involved in bringing this to fruition."
- Mick Etherington

"Little did I know at the time that two of the shows that I taped are now regarded as 'master'
audience recordings. Jeez, I'm so glad I did. If Alan wants to know, the recorder I used was
an early Pye Cassette recorded with a hand-held mic."
- Chris Jones

Notes by Bill Giles:

"Bickershaw:
I'm 100% confident that this remastered version *is* the best in circulation. When Gavin Lawson kindly sent me his CDR some months ago, his source's lineage showed a cassette gen.
In contrast, Tiedrich's Resources for Traders said the best source had no cassette gen.

"This version starts with Dark Star (but missed the first 5 notes which I've patched in from a poor denoised and re-equalised SBD cassette. It's OK!! You'd never know if you hadn't been told). It is not the Betty Board, the circulating copy of which only starts in the 1st verse of TOO (33 mins late!).

"The Dark Star's a true beauty, er blissfully spatial in the 72nd degree......... but the source contains a lot of broadband noise - a bit like there's glass reverberating intermittently but frequently on your speakers (or, if you're grooving in the cans, inside your head). Sometimes it's one channel, sometimes the other, sometimes both. Real irritating.
David Hollister confirms that the noise is on the original master reel and that he had not tried treating it because broadband noise is not susceptible to general scrubbing. So, to cut another long story short, I've been through each and every burst of noise in Dark Star, channel by channel, and tried to clean each one individually. Well, it's one way of getting into the music :)) The result's not perfect and never would be, but all the noises are attenuated and some are removed. It's definitely very OK, the basic sound is first class.
Most important, the MUSIC IS OUTTASIGHT.

"The other problem with the source is a 30 sec cut in TOO and the absence of stage announcements (in particular Weir's "we've forgotten how to play St Stephen....... maybe we could go back and listen to our records and cop our licks" rap, and apologies for yet another technical problem "Garcia's got to clean his glasses". (Weir was really on good stage rap form on this tour)). I've patched in the music and announcements from BD>DAT>CDR (Betty Board), courtesy of Steve Nicholls. I had wondered whether to use the Betty as the master source from when it enters in TOO onwards, but comparative listening shows the non-Betty is the better and clearer sound - drums are crisper, instruments brighter - whereas the Betty has some bass saturation and is slightly muddier in the middle. (Very appropriate for Bickershaw, ha ha.)

"Finally, as a reminder of the atmospherix of the event, I've added a few other moments of the concert from the poor quality SBD cassette, denoised (though you might not think so!) and re-equalised, as a brief filler. In particular 'Happy Birthday Billy' and Weir explaining that, to keep warm, they are playing under 30 knots of jet breath from hot air heaters and getting dizzy with the smell of kerosene.....

"For those who don't know (or need help remembering) just how wet, muddy and great it all was,you can read more about the Bickershaw festival - personal accounts, photos, programme extracts etc - on this site:

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

New txt file (4/03)

Note from Unicorn:
I've had these files for 2 & 1/2 years. I'm embarrased to say that I *think* I fixed these myself, using Cool Edit Pro, but I honestly don't remember.
The notation style below looks like mine, but who knows? So if someone else actually did it, forgive me for not giving proper credit.

If anyone finds any additional glitches, let me now in the discussion group and I will correct them and repost.

<b>Original txt file (from 11/00)</b>

Posted to alt.binaries.gdead.highspeed (thanks to Nic Brokenleg for pointer):

"Greetings,
I recently downloaded the SHN files for 72-05-18 from gdlive and found digital errors in seven of them. Many involved short sections (around 1 second) that repeated, and the others had digital glitches.

The errors were:

gd72-05-18d1t102 at 6:36 (major digital glitch)
gd72-05-18d1t106 at 2:03 & the last few seconds (repeat & digital noise)
gd72-05-18d1t110 at 2:50 (tiny glitch)
gd72-05-18d2t201 (.76 sec. repeat, didn't save location)
gd72-05-18d2t207 (.76 sec. repeat, didn't save location)
gd72-05-18d3t301 at 17:39 (digital noise)
gd72-05-18d3t305 at the very beginning (5 sec. repeat)

I have repaired all of them using a WAV editor to seamlessly clip out only the errors. The only really complicated one was gd72-05-18d1t102, where I had to insert a fraction of a second of silence to fill out a beat. I sent an e-mail message to gdlive asking if they wanted these files. Alas, no one ever answered.

But at alt.binaries.gdead.d, Steve said I should send them on up (bless his heart :-) ) So here they are.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

This is a speed corrected and restored version of the complete 4-disc set that is circulating. It replaces that set and an older 3-disc version that cut off during "Comes A Time".

The 4-disc source was missing the beginning of "Dark Star" and "He's Gone".
Those parts were restored using clips from the 3-disc set. Also restored was a short blurb from Weir at the end of "Morning Dew". "Ramble On Rose" has been moved to the beginning of disc 3 where it belongs. Detailed notes on the restoration are below.

Thanks to terrapinstation for providing the newer 4-disc set that this was based on.

** Restoration notes **

Source tapes:

SourceA - A complete version of the show and the primary source for this recording, but the beginning of "Dark Star" and "He's Gone" are missing.
Tape speed is fast by .95% to 1.5%. Volume levels on most tracks had been pushed to the point that there is digital clipping, although it is largely inaudible. Disk 1 has several clicks.

SourceB - A 178 minute version that ends part way through "Comes A Time", but with a complete "Dark Star" and "He's Gone". The volume levels are 7 dB lower than SourceA, there is more tape hiss, and it runs 2.25% slow.

Both of theses sources came, ultimately, from the same soundboard tape.

For this restoration, I used Cool Edit Pro as my WAV editor. Also used were Sonic Foundry's Clipped Peak Restoration tool from Noise Reduction 2.0a, and Wave's X-Noise noise reduction tool from Restoration Bundle 1.0.

Noise reduction was done only on the missing parts of "Dark Star" and "He's Gone" from SourceB. All tracks had the DC Offset corrected to zero. And most of the tracks were run through Clipped Peak Restoration with the post-limiter enabled.

The speed correction probably won't be noticable to anyone but musicians who try to play along with the music.
Silence that was removed was actual silence, not quiet time between songs.

Finally, I changed no EQ settings or volume levels except on the clips from urceB.

* Disc 1 (all tracks slowed by 1.25% except T13, 1.5%)
D1T01 Removed click at 3:08
D1T03 Removed click at 4:04
D1T06 Removed click at 4:40
D1T07 Smoothed tape transition at 4:40
D1T10 Removed 18 seconds of silence at the end of the track and a 2 1/3 second clip that was a repeat of the beginning of "China Cat Sunflower". How it ended up here I'll never know.
D1T11 Removed clicks at 2:40 & 2:47 & 2:54
D1T13 Removed 2 minutes 48 seconds of silence at the end of the track

* Disc 2 (all tracks slowed by 1.5%)
D2T02 Smoothed tape transition at 3:19 slowed 1.75%
D2T03 Remove 7.4 seconds of redundant sound at 4:54. slowed 1.75%
D2T04 Removed 1/3 second of redunant sound at 0:18.6

* Disc 3 (all tracks slowed by .95%)
D3T01 Remove 2 minutes 39 seconds of silence at the end of the track
D3T02 After speeding up SourceB 2.25%, boosting volume levels 7dB, and applying noise reduction and EQ, the first 1:13 was pasted onto the beginning of the SourceA "Dark Star". Not quite as seamless as the "He's Gone" patch due to differences in the stereo fields of the two sources, but still pretty darn good. D3T03 SourceB had this line from Weir tagged on at the end of this track. I cleaned it up as best I could and added it to SourceA. "We're gonna pause for a moment, and scratch our asses and drink a little cold and wet liquid."

* Disc 4 (T01 & T02 slowed by 1.25%, the rest by .95%)
D4T01 Speed up SourceB 2.25%, boosted levels 7dB and applied noise reduction to match SourceB to SourceA. Patched 39 seconds, the intro and 1st verse, from SourceB onto the beginning of SourceA. The splice is undetectable except for a subtle shift of the vocal in the stereo field.
D4T06 Removed 34 seconds of silence at the end

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

"So I have a long continuum of 'Dark Star' which range in character from each other to real different extremes. 'Dark Star' has meant, while I'm playing it, almost as many things as I can sit here and imagine, so all I can do is talk about 'Dark Star' as a playing experience." -Jerry Garcia

The Stars Were Set in Spin: a Dark Star compilation by LL
Version 1.1 released 2021-12-17

************************************************************

This is a collection of every performance of Dark Star that circulates from trade-friendly sources to date (225 tracks, as I've compiled them). One of the first things you'll notice is that it's not literally just Dark Stars. In many instances there are songs included that transition in or out of a Dark Star (and sometimes even more that that). There's not much rhyme or reason to this. If I felt like more should be included, I erred on the side of keeping more music in. Sometimes it depended on my mood at the moment or how I feel about certain songs. If you're interested in having every performance of Dark Star in one place then I suspect you're not going to complain about having a bit extra here and there. And if you do have a problem with any of my choices, you can simply replace the offending file with one of your choosing (though please share this compilation in its original form, if you're so inclined).

The master list of known Dark Stars primarily came from the excellent blog maintained by Light Into Ashes: http://deadessays.blogspot.com. This post was particularly helpful: http://deadessays.blogspot.com/2017/06/dark-star-catalog-guest-post.html. I created a master list of every known Dark Star, and assigned a track number to each. Some of those do not currently circulate, which is why you will see gaps in the sequence of track numbers at times (you'll also see gaps where there are performances that are only available from official releases). Hopefully some of the missing Dark Stars will surface, and when they do I basically have track numbers already set aside for them. Here are the missing Dark Stars:

3/17/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/7/68 Carousel Ballroom
6/15/68 Fillmore East
8/20/68 Fillmore West
11/30/68 Hyde Park Teen Center, Cincinnati
12/31/68 Winterland
1/69 Fillmore West
2/19/69 Fillmore West
5/3/69 Winterland (late show)
2/21/70 HemisFair Arena, San Antonio
3/17/70 Kleinhans Music Hall, Buffalo (w/ Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra)
4/11/70 Fillmore West
4/26/70 York Farm, Poynette
5/10/70 Sports Arena, Atlanta (with Duane Allman)
7/9/70 Fillmore East
9/25/70 Civic Auditorium, Pasadena
11/13/70 46th St. Rock Palace, Brooklyn

Undoubtedly there are more performances we don't currently know about. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. There are also some performances that are only found on officially released, non-trade friendly sources. Those have obviously not been included. They are:

1/27/68 Seattle
2/2/68 Portland
2/22/68 Lake Tahoe
2/23/68 Lake Tahoe [Possibly from 2/24/68]
4/17/68 Warner Bros. single 7186
8/24/68 Los Angeles
2/11/69b Fillmore East
4/17/69 St. Louis

Source information for each track is in an RTF file, and is also in the "Comment" tag of each file (sometimes it's just a reference to the etree db number). There are a handful that do not have source information. Those are definitely not from commercially released sources, but more than that I don't know for certain simply because I lost track of the exact source info in the process of putting this compilation together. Most, if not all, of the files will not exactly match the original sources. I added fades in and out, appended bits of neighboring tracks to catch more of a transition, amplified some tracks that needed it, etc.

This compilation is not intended to keep anyone from purchasing official releases. Quite to the contrary, my hope is that you'll want to purchase the official releases not only to fill in the sources that are only available from official releases, but also to upgrade the sound quality of the trade-friendly sources (which are almost universally inferior to the official releases).

This compilation would not be possible without the hard work of countless people who have taped, transferred, mastered, and shared all this music over the years. In particular, Keith (rigpimp), jefflester, and Marc (MakersMarc) provided the bulk of the sources.

I made the cover art. It features the image of a black hole at the center of galaxy M87, captured by the Event Horizon Telescope. Weird, wild stuff indeed.

Enjoy.

Note: This is superior to all circulating copies. The lineage of the DAT is guaranteed. I did the transfer myself. The DAT was played on a Panasonic SV-3700, transferred to my Delta DiO 2496, recorded with SoundForge 4.5, and tracked and burned with CD Architect. EAC was used to create the SHN files.

There is a <1 second patch in Playin' to fix a small spot of tape warble.

The Morning Dew was patched from another previously circulating version with 10-second crossfades on each side to minimize the difference in quality.

There is also a small patch in Sugar Magnolia.

All of these patches came from previously circulating copies.

Garcia: An American Life
by Blair Jackson

Page 229, middle; more on the bus tour of Europe, 1972:

"The dynamics of who rode on what bus was pretty funny," said Annette Flowers, who worked in the Dead's office. "It was usually determined by who was getting along with whom. You usually didn't know till people came out of their hotel rooms in the morning. The hard part about it was the bar was on one bus and the bathroom was on the other. So we had to stop a lot."

One can only speculate what audiences in Denmark, Germany and France who knew the band primarily by their reputation as exponents of West Coast acid rock thought of the Dead's musical crazy-quilt, which was so fundamentally rooted in American styles and traditions. Looking at the song list for a random second set on the tour - Tivoli Concert Hall in Copenhagen on Monday, April 17 - we find the group opened with the rockin' "One More Saturday Night" (which the Dead played nearly every night that tour), and then slowed things down with Pigpen's version of Elmore James' blues classic "It Hurts Me Too." That was followed by the lighthearted bounce of "Ramble On Rose," the gunfighter saga "El Paso," the electrified '20s jug tune "Big Railroad Blues," and "Truckin'," which was the first song of the set to really open up. Then the last 45 minutes or so was one long, continuous stretch of music comprised of "Dark Star," "Sugar Magnolia," "Caution" and "Johnny B. Goode." That's quite an eclectic mélange of styles and moods, to say the least.

But the audiences were enthusiastic nearly everywhere. Outwardly, the language barrier didn't seem to make much of a difference - the crowds boogied happily in their seats, proving true the cliché that music and rhythm are universal forms of communication. Even in Paris, notorious for cool and aloof crowds, "the audience was every bit the New York audience," Weir said. "Just as loud, boisterous and clamoring. The regular eat-you-alive New York audience, only it was Paris." The Paris police evidently were expecting trouble: they had assigned 180 gendarmes to watch over a crowd of just over 2,000 people the first night. When les flics saw that the crowd was not going to be a threat to public order, they scaled back their presence considerably. That second night in Paris, though, there was a small problem that eventually escalated into a big one.

A couple of militant communists decided that the show should be free for everyone, and one of them got into a minor altercation with members of the Grateful Dead road crew, who showed him the door and dumped a container of chocolate ice cream on his chic mauve jacket. "That was, I think, the final trigger that caused him to a) piss, or b) put water in the diesel fuel tanks of our trucks, so that our equipment couldn't go anywhere," Phil remembered.

"The next morning," said Weir, picking up the story, "everybody got up. The truck headed out of town first, bright and early, then we all got up and got on the bus and headed to Lille

[where they had a gig scheduled that night]. Well, the truck made it about eight miles out of Paris, and it broke down and that was that. But we didn't know this. We arrived at the hall in Lille to a mob of people shouting anti-American stuff, and since it was deemed that my French was the best in the crew, I was awarded the onerous opportunity to go out and tell a howling mob that, 'Hey, folks, no show tonight, and not only that, the promoters bolted with your money.'"

As it turns out, the promoters hadn't taken the money; they just didn't have it on the premises, which is not what this mob wanted to hear, either. "There was a lot of fist-shaking and a lot screaming," Weir said. "And they sure did crush forward. They were all around us onstage. We had to form a V to get to the back room and slam the door and lock it. We actually had barricades - chairs up on the doors, and all that. ... We finally lost our nerve and went out the back window. We climbed down this drainpipe 20 feet to the ground and escaped through the back streets of Lille on a moonless night, kind of chuckling. It was great; a lot of fun. Chicks out the back window, the band out the back window, running for your lives..."

The promoter returned the money to the customers the next day and the Dead came back to Lille 10 days later and played a free concert at the local fairgrounds before an enthusiastic French crowd that seemed to bear no ill will toward them. In the meantime, the tour had traveled back to England, where the Dead played the huge Bickershaw Festival in what David Nelson of the New Riders described as "a squall," and then went to the continent again for shows in the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Germany. The tour ended triumphantly in late May with four concerts at London's Strand Lyceum, where the New Riders, who had been touring Europe on their own, opened for the Dead - just as they had in the States.

"When we played in London at the Lyceum, it was fabulous," John Dawson says. "It was this old theater where the seats had been ripped out and the floor made flat. But all the peripheral stuff - the boxes - were still there. So CBS [the Riders' label] had rented all the big private boxes on one side and Warner Bros. had the boxes on the other side of the stage. So it was the battle of the record companies, with both sides spraying the audience with freebies, throwing all this promo stuff down on the crowd."

Dawson's favorite image from those last few days in England was much more serene, however: "Garcia, Weir and I took our guitars and jammed in this amazing 10th century chapel. It was really, really great-sounding. It was kind of eerie, especially thinking about all the people who'd been through there over the centuries - the Crusaders, and then us!"

Page 232, top; Pigpen in Europe:

"[On the tour] he rode on the hard bus, this Danish bus, which was sort of like the crew bus," Annette Flowers said. "It was the quieter of the two buses usually. Pigpen lived on the back bench of that bus. ... I think that trip sort of sunk it for him; put him over. It was really grueling in a lot of ways.

"He got knocked off that bench five or six times," Rock Scully recalled. "He rolled off that bench and a couple of times he really hurt himself - I could see it; he really hurt his kidneys and bruised himself. I'd have to help him off the bus."

Excerpt from
Phil Lesh's memoir
Searching for the Sound My Life With the Grateful Dead

philleshBook

Bassist Lesh studied classical, jazz and avant-garde music before co-founding the Grateful Dead in 1965 and continues to perform with surviving Dead members and his own band, Phil Lesh and Friends.

This excerpt finds the Dead in Germany and France, in the midst of its Europe '72 tour.

In Hamburg, I'm confronted with some almighty weirdness: my doppelganger.

We're checking out the hall where we're to play: the Hamburg Musikhalle, home of the NDR Symphony Orchestra and the Hamburg Philharmonic; one of those bands is rehearsing excerpts from "Carmen" in the hall. I decide to cruise around outside the auditorium. I'm in the foyer, reading a plaque about favorite son Johannes Brahms returning in triumph to his hometown, and M.G. (Carolyn Adams, a.k.a. Mountain Girl) comes rushing down the balcony stairs -- "Phil! Come here! You've got to see this!" What? What?

I follow her up to the balcony, where Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, and a couple of roadies are standing open-mouthed and pointing toward the stage. At first all I see is the forest, not the trees -- an orchestra playing -- but then Jer says, "The cellist!" I look down at the solo cellist -- and he is me. Same face, same hair (only shorter), same build; when they break and he stands up -- the same gait, the same posture -- I was flabbergasted. I had read, of course, that everyone has a double somewhere, but I'd always thought of that as a folk legend -- until I saw mine. I decide that I must come face to face with him somehow -- so I run downstairs to the backstage area.

Having left my bell-bottoms and paisley period behind, I'm now dressed like an American cowboy -- boots, jeans, checked shirt, Levi's jacket -- everything but the hat. You can imagine the thoughts running through the minds of this man's colleagues, their heads snapping around in double takes as I pass through them.

Backstage, another entire orchestra is rehearsing in a huge room; the other musicians are dispersing. I never found this guy, but oh, how I wanted to shake his hand and find out his name. Could it have been Lesch? Lösch?

On to Paris, where it seems that the revolutionary spirit of 1968 had not entirely disappeared from the streets; an individual complaining loudly and at length that we had no right to come there and not play free "for the people" confronted our crew during the load-out.

Not only that, but he followed us back to our hotel (the Grand Hotel, not exactly the place that a "people's band'' could afford to stay) and continued his harangue from the plaza in front of the main entrance.

Now this person was clothed in a very nice lavender jacket, and happened at one point to tempt fortune by standing directly under the window of the room occupied by roadies Rex Jackson and Sonny Heard.

Someone suggested that the color brown would make a fine old contrast with the jacket; and presto! Out the window and over the head of our fine French friend went the warm remnants of Rex's room- service chocolate ice cream. The howls of outrage could have been heard in Berlin, but we were soon to learn that there would be a price to pay for our little moment of euphoria.

Our next scheduled gig was at the university in Lille, just south of the Belgian border. Imagine our consternation when we discovered that someone had insinuated dirt into the fuel tank of our equipment truck as it sat trustingly on the streets of Paris; when it was time for the gig there we were, but our gear -- amps, guitars, drums, PA -- was still several hours behind us in a quickly rented backup vehicle.

We held a quick council of war to decide our course of action. Should we just not show up? Should we send Rock (Scully, one of the band's managers) to take the heat? As usual it was Jerry who insisted that we do the right thing; some of us (but not him) must go there and try to explain.

So, picture this if you will: a smallish venue filled with students; the promoters, students themselves, freaking up the wall, their investment totally blown; the band, crew, and management on the stage trying to explain in one and a half languages (English and Franglais);the mood of the students growing ever more restive and ugly; the only refuge a small dressing room at the back of the stage.

As the protests grew more and more intense (the students, predictably, had briefly turned to arguing among themselves), we slipped one by one into the relative safety of the backstage shelter, and as the door began to cave in under the onslaught, we decided to opt for discretion over valor, and leave.

Unfortunately, the only window was one story from the ground; luckily, there was a drainpipe next to it, and a truck conveniently parked at the end of the pipe, so down we went -- shimmy down the pipe, jump to the truck, crawl to the ground, sprint for the bus -- all the time laughing hysterically at the sheer absurdity of it all. Bobby's defiant shout rang through the air: "We'll be back, and we'll play for free!" For free! Lavender Velvet was going to get his wish, though he probably never knew.


It was a brisk spring Saturday when we finally pulled into the center of Lille to keep our promise of a free concert: on a sparkling afternoon in the central park of the town, we played to workers carrying lunch pails, baguettes, and carafes of vin ordinaire, mothers with their babies in perambulators; and, of course, hundreds of students, many more than could have been crammed into the tiny hall where we'd originally been scheduled to play.

Clouds came and went; at one point it rained, so we covered the gear, retreated into the trucks, and waited it out. Sure enough, the sky cleared rapidly, and the audience was still there, so on we played in the glorious spring light. The landscape, the flowers, and the people seemed to radiate a simple joy in just being.

Afterward the student promoters embraced us tearfully -- they hadn't believed up until the moment we pulled into town that we would actually make good our promise. It was one of our finest "music for the people" moments, if I do say so myself.

Excerpt from
Bill Kreutzmann's autobiography
Deal: My Three Decades of Drumming, Dreams and Drugs with The Grateful Dead

BK

p174/175

...When we were in Paris, a French revolutionary type harassed us because he wanted free tickets. He must’ve heard accounts of Woodstock or Festival Express and surmised that demanding free tickets was a very hip. very revolutionary, very rebellious thing to do. And attainable too. Except, not for him. He was on the sidewalk in front of our hotel, and instead of granting him his wish, someone in our crew dumped ice cream out of their hotel window, right onto the kid. It ruined his day . . . and his fancy jacket.

The next morning, however, when we left for our gig in Lille about 140 miles up the road we discovered, through empirical evidence, that the little fucker had filled the gas tank of our equipment truck with something that was . . . not fuel. We looked into every available solution but, all told, we weren’t able to get our gear up to Lille on time, so we weren’t able to play the gig. I stayed back at the hotel with Jerry, Pigpen, Keith, and Donna. Meanwhile, Phil and Bobby were our ambassadors. Florence, Phil’s girl, was fluid in French and went with them as our translator. They headed over to the venue to inform the promoter and break it to the crowd (with the sworn promise that we’d be back and make it up to them).

If only it were that simple. The crowd didn’t like that announcement one bit and they turned on Bobby, Phil, and Florence, who retreated back-stage and then were forced to make a dramatic escape through the window of the second-story dressing room, climbing down a drainage pipe and jumping onto an escape vehicle in the nick of time. Meanwhile, I’m sure I was relaxed and enjoying the casual downtime back at the hotel.

We did make up that Lille date and it turned out to be a free show, so that little rebel fuck-face got his wish after all. Although I doubt he got a chance to enjoy it. Like most of our free shows, it was all done in stealth mode. Nobody knew about it until it was already happening. This was before social media, so ... it was “catch us if you can.” It was a cold and overcast day and the stage wasn’t sheltered. There was a little bit of rain but it was certainly psychedelic. That make-up gig in Lille is something I call an “endurance gig” because, fun as it was, I had something else on my mind the entire time. As a hobby, Phil and I had been casually getting into car races. Since we were already in France, we decided to spend some free time catching the big Formula One race in Monaco the famed Monaco Grand Prix.

Our friend Sam Cutler, who, if you remember, we snatched from the Rolling Stones after Altamont, was our tour manager for Europe ’72. Cutler had a rental car, which Phil and I commandeered as soon as we finished the afternoon show at Lille. Phil, Florence, Susila, and I all jumped in the car. My seat came with a steering wheel. So I drove like hell through Paris, at breakneck speeds, so that we could make our flight...

Grateful Dead
by Steven Jezo-Vannier

p156/157

Le Dead poursuit sa tournée au Danemark (à Copenhague et à l'université d'Aarhus) et en Allemagne (Brème, Düsseldorf, Francfort et Hambourg). Puis, il retrouve la France avec deux concerts à l'Olympia les 3 et 4 mai.

À Paris, les musiciens sont abordés par un étudiant qui leur parle politique. Repoussé gentiment à plusieurs reprises, il est finalement chassé par Rex Jackson qui lui envoie son cornet de glace à la figure. La scène inspirera à Kelley et Mouse le dessin d'un idiot s'écrasant un cornet de glace sur le front, le ice cream kid utilisé pour le verso de la pochette du disque Europe 72, triple album live tiré de la tournée. Vexé, le jeune Français crève un pneu du camion transportant le matériel, l'empêchant de rejoindre le groupe à Lille le lendemain.

Le concert qui y est prévu doit être annulé, le public fait entendre son mécontentement même si Weir fait l'effort d'annoncer la nouvelle dans un bon français. Jerry fait la promesse de revenir, elle sera honorée une semaine plus tard, le 13 mai.

Entre-temps, le Dead est retourné en Angleterre pour le Bickersham festival, avant de donner deux concerts aux Pays-Bas, à Amsterdam et Rotterdam. Le 16 mai, le Dead est au Luxembourg, le 18 à Munich. Enfin, il achève sa tournée monumentale avec quatre soirées au Strand Lyceum de Londres, du 23 au 26 mai.

A long strange trip - The inside history of the Grateful Dead
by Dennis McNally

Long%20Strange%20Trip



...It was during their second and last night in Paris that the most hilarious adventure of the tour began. A young Frenchman approached the band at the theatre and began arguing about their lack of political consciousness. To Kreutzmann, it seemed “obvious he wanted free tickets.” They put him off, and he moved his harangue to Cutler and Rex Jackson, getting no satisfaction. When everyone returned to the hotel, he took up a position in front, bracing every member of the tour party as they came in or out. He was wearing a velvet jacket, which caught their eye, and when they eventually concluded he’d become a bore, Rex dumped ice cream on the jacket he was so proud of, and the Dead all had a good laugh and went to bed. While they slept, Monsieur la Politique had his revenge, introducing a foreign substance into the equipment truck’s gas tank.

The next day they were scheduled to play Lille, a very political college town. The buses and one truck arrived, their equipment truck did not. No amps, no show. The promoter was not able to offer instant refunds - according to some memories, he was unable to offer refunds at all. Sensing trouble, the streetwise Garcia decided that honor did not require going to the hall, and along with Kreutzmann, elected to stay at the hotel. “You guys are nuts” was his analysis. Phil and Bobby went out on the stage and talked to the audience, but “Pas de musique” was about the best they could muster, even after Weir’s five years of high school French. “It quickly became my job to explain to a crowd of irate Frenchmen just exactly this - no show tonight, sorry about that. I got three or four sentences off before the crowd became very surly.”

Ushered offstage into the dressing room, Lesh, Weir, Rosie, and a few others suddenly realized they were in deep shit. The audience was furious, convinced of American perfidy, and though no one was thinking in terms of death, Weir thought “they woulda thumped us good and proper.” The door to the dressing room had a window, and they covered it with newspapers and considered their options. Other than being thumped, there was only one: climb down the drainpipe to the top of the truck, jump down on the hood, then to the ground, and run run run for the bus, which was waiting with the engine idling. The furious Frenchmen began to pound on the door, and as the hinges started to creak, Dead family members began going out the window. A gentleman to the end, Weir’s main worry, as he thought about it later, was getting the interpreter, Rosie McGee, and photographer, Mary Ann Mayer, down the drainpipe. That accomplished, he turned to the promoter, promised they’d make up the show, dropped a rose on the sill, and scooted down the pipe like the part monkey he was. He was on the roof of the truck when he heard the door give way, and he hit the ground running for “what physicists called the absolute elsewhere, in a big hurry.” A couple of hours later, after wrapping themselves around some good Bordeaux, it was all pretty funny, but it had been a near thing.

The time it took to replace the damaged truck complicated travel to the next gig, the Bickershaw Festival, near Manchester, which they absolutely could not afford to miss, since it was one of their largest paydays on the entire tour. The truckers changed trucks and hauled ass for Manchester, driving like demented bats to make the last possible ferry. Winslow and Wizard were in the recording truck, behind a professional driver who had the main equipment truck. Time was flying, and so was the front truck driver, who began to take insane chances to beat the clock, running cars off the road in the process. They made the ferry, got through London, and then went really nuts, scraping off the side of at least one car before arriving in Manchester with aplomb.

Not surprisingly, in the wake of the Lille debacle no one felt like separating, and the band and family bused back to Paris and then flew to Manchester and the cold gray ooze of northern England. This was no Woodstock - warm shower puddle. This was nasty, primordial stuff that felt as though bones were going to rise to the surface, with a horrific wind to boot. It was sufficiently frigid that the crew put a space heater on the stage to keep the band’s fingers from turning blue. Once again the Dead worked magic. They came on around 7 P.M., and the skies lightened, then cleared. First “Truckin’,” then “Mr. Charlie,” got the audience up. The crowd had built bonfires around the perimeter of the field to keep warm, but now they piled on the fuel and Bickershaw became a pagan festival, dancers circling the flames, and, in the words of a local writer, the “Dead had offered safe passage through weird terrain.”

Amsterdam, where the Concertgebouw was a jewel of a theater, the cocaine was far too good - Rock and Jerry were particularly self - indulgent, and the spouses were not pleased - and the draft Heineken tasted fabulous. Having visited Amsterdam before with the Medicine Ball Caravan, Kidd Candelario knew the ropes, and took Lesh to a pub, where Phil discovered the difference between mere beer and draft Heineken. Lesh had never been a big drinker before, but the combination of cocaine and Heineken would become a big favorite of his, leading to what he would later call “the Heineken years.”

Rotterdam, and then back through Belgium to France, with a middle - of - the - night delay. The customs inspectors were in bed and wouldn’t get up to let the truck in, and Pig, who’d ridden the truck thinking he’d get some extra snooze time - “Ol’ sly Pig, you know,” chortled Kreutzmann, “ ‘Figure I’m gonna get me some extra z’s,’ you know?” - spent the night in the cab. Winslow, too, was totally wiped out with pneumonia, but he insisted on doing his job, upholding the crew tradition. Once in France, they returned to Lille to keep their word to the promoter and the students. Stunned by their honesty, the promoter was in tears as they set up in the town’s fairgrounds, which was a little park, “an old fort, with gun emplacements and every age of stonework and masonry,” said M.G. There they played for workers eating their sausages and baguettes, mothers with children in prams, and some of the students. It was a cold day, and threatened to rain, and at one point it did rain, so they took cover for a while. It stopped, the sun came out, they returned to the stage, and Lille looked like an impressionist painting, cows in the distance, poplar trees in rows; with a little LSD, it wasn’t hard to see why Monet and company liked the light in their native country. For Phil especially, it was one of the truly spectacular experiences of a lifetime, as though for an hour or two he lived inside a Seurat or a Cézanne. They finished as the sun was setting and the rain was starting up again, and Cutler drove up in a car and handed the keys to Kreutzmann and Lesh and said, “Hey, you guys, you said you wanted to go to the Monaco Grand Prix. Here’s the tickets, here’s the car. All you guys got to do is get to Orly Airport.” “B.K. got us there, man,” cackled Lesh. “I was the navigator from the backseat, Susila rode shotgun. He drove, and he got us through Paris in record time. You can’t believe what he did to those Frenchmen - he left them laying in the road. You can imagine the Gang of One hits Paris in a little Fiat rental car!”

This Is All A Dream We Dreamed: An Oral History Of The Grateful Dead
by Blair Jackson

This Is All A Dream We Dreamed

JON MCINTIRE: The audiences in Paris, although they were Parisian and spoke a different language, were like the audiences in New York. It was just thrilling, absolutely thrilling. And of course it’s the Olympia, which was Edith Piaf’s home, and all the incredible things that have happened there over the years. France was very high-energy, like the Fillmore East in New York.

One movie-worthy episode that occurred on the Europe tour involved a near-riot at a show scheduled to take place in Lille, north of Paris near the Belgian border.

BOB WEIR: It started in Paris, where this Communist decided that everybody should be able to go to the show for free—in stark ignorance of the economics of the matter. He got shown the door. That didn’t pretty up his mindset any, so he decided what he was gonna do was piss in the gas tank of our diesel truck.

PHIL LESH: He didn’t do that until after the show, when we went back to the hotel. Rex and Sonny and I were up on the balcony, and somebody poured chocolate ice cream on his mauve velvet jacket. This is a Communist wearing a mauve velvet jacket. It was very, very chic. He got a little miffed. That was, I think, the final “trigger” that caused him to piss or put water in the diesel fuel tanks of our trucks, so that our equipment couldn’t go anywhere.

BOB WEIR: The next morning, the truck headed out of town, bright and early, and then we all got on the bus and headed to Lille. The truck made it about eight miles out of Paris and broke down, but we didn’t know this [until] we arrived at the hall in Lille to a mob of irate Frenchmen shouting anti-American stuff. Since it was deemed that my French was the best in the group, I was awarded the onerous opportunity to go out and tell a howling mob, “Hey, folks, no show tonight. And not only that, the promoters bolted with your money.”

PHIL LESH: Which wasn’t true, though. The guy hadn’t bolted with the money. I don’t think he could get it that night, to give them their money back for their tickets. I think he later gave them back the money. And if he hadn’t done that, we wouldn’t have gone back to play [the following week]. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. We retreated

BOB WEIR: —To the dressing room. We spent about thirty seconds in there wondering, “What the Sam Hill are we gonna do now?”

PHIL LESH [In mock fright]: Do we have to go out there and talk to them again?

BOB WEIR: Meanwhile, the door started to go thump, thump, thump and bulge a little bit, and we could see that that was gonna hold for, oh, maybe a minute and a half. We had one avenue of escape, and that was out the window and down a drainpipe, just sort of climbing, holding onto the drainpipe down three stories.

PHIL LESH: Actually, it was only a story and a half, Bob.

BOB WEIR: Really?

PHIL LESH: You could have jumped it, but it would have hurt when you landed.

BOB WEIR: Yeah, we would have had a lot of broken ankles. Anyway, so we were out of there, out the back window, down the drainpipe, and a quick sprint for the bus. We left a little rose on the windowsill there. We came back about two, three weeks later [May 13, 1972] and played in the park for free.

PHIL LESH: The promoter was in tears, because he’d given all the money back and he had promised that we would come back and play. It was a beautiful day, too. The light in France, there’s nothing like it. It’s understandable why it’s produced so many great painters. We played in the park and there were real French working people, the kind that Van Gogh would paint. There they were, sitting down in front.

BOB WEIR: It was wonderful, a sublime experience.
