Notes
* - First recorded performances
** - with John "Marmaduke" Dawson and David Nelson
Source - We suspect that this audience recording was made by the same
unknown taper as the shnid 1346, circulated in August of 2000. Gene
Taback's recorder was taken away on this evening, so it is not his,
though he managed a more stealth taping of 8/19 with success. In 2018 an
attempt was made to speed correct 1346 and digitally process, resulting
in shnid 141071, received with mixed results at best. Because of the
inherent issues in the original shnid and the attempted fix, we chose to
transfer Jeff's copies of the audience tapes and were pleased with the
sound. Seemingly one generation closer to the master, but unlabeled as
usual for tapes of that era. The speed is right and the channel placement
is correct.
In the Deadhead's Taping Compendium, Harvey Lubar writes:
"This show, as well as that on the night following, first appeared in tape
circulation in 1974, when the original recordist contacted my partner
for a trade. These shows catch the Dead as they were introducing the
music that would later appear on American Beauty. We took the original
cassette masters from both shows and transferred them to reels. Then,
in 1990, I transferred my reels to PGM/Beta. The taper noted that it
was Pigpen who played a stand-up piano throughout the acoustic set."
Judging from the previous shnid and Harvey's comments, we suspect a reel
and possibily beta is in the lineage. The guess is Cass > Reel > Beta >
Jeff's Cass. There is tape hiss, but the hiss really becomes listenable
quickly, and allows the nuances of the music to remain. No reduction
was employed digitally.
Jeff Knudsen has been an avid Jerry Garcia, Grateful Dead and San
Francisco Sound music fan for over 40 years. From a letter to Dead Relix
Magazine asking for help cultivating a tape collection, Jeff developed
a relationship with Dick Latvala and many other tapers, building an
enormous music collection. He also taped many Jerry Garcia shows at
venerable institutions like the various Keystones. Jeff loved to share
tapes in a twinkle of an eye. He was a key player in leaking the Betty
Boards back in the day. A few years ago, he decided he should pass his
collection on to someone who could properly archive and transfer. After
a few years of offering it publicly, there were no takers. In 2018,
Arizona LL members Jamie and Tom felt the Knudsen collection was too
valuable to let go. After a flight so bumpy that we almost cried, and
a great visit, albeit too short, with Jeff... 1200 lbs of tapes, gear
and cds were lovingly packed at his Florida homestead. The next era of
his beloved collection is summer camp for the tapes in the desert... an
ongoing process of cataloging and transferring the contents to share. Born
from decades of Jeff's passion for live music collecting and the archival
efforts of many, it's an honor and a privilege to share the Knudsen
Tapes with you.
