Notes
Notes:
This recording has the same genealogy as the 3/5/94 I recently posted. In the summer of 1999,
Dick Latvala cloned the March 4-6 1994 run for a guy who hosted a Grateful Dead-themed radio show;
I obtained copies from the radio host.
As with the 3/5 and 3/6 I seeded, there are ZERO fades or time alterations to this recording. From
first note to last, this is exactly what the boys played, in real time.
Comments:
1) THAT ANNOYING FIRST SET "PISH PISSSSH....PISH...PISSSSSHHHHH" NOISE! I don't know what was causing
that, but it's pretty much present throughout the first set. Because the music drowns the noise out,
I inserted track markers between each song, so you can choose to preserve the natural flow between songs
(and hear the pish pish noise) or FFW to the next song. All I ask is that if and when you burn this
show for others, you preserve the integrity of the recording and keep each track, pish pish noise and
all, in the recording.
2) Second set levels were a HUGE problem. My original discs had "Iko" thru "Drums" on one disc, and
"Space" thru the encore on another disc. Well, similar to 3/6/94, the levels didn't match from one
disc to another, except the volume was intensely dissimilar. Whereas it was only a 20% bump on 3/6
and 3/5, "Space" thru the encore needed damn near a 40% boost.
3) Track markers were pretty much accurate, except for the aforementioned insertion of tracks to give
the listener the option of bypassing the dread Pish Pish noise. I did insert a section into "Space"
that bears scrutiny. Instead of the traditional "Drums" --> "Space" --> "Jerry Ballad" so familiar
to the 90's, I broke "Space" into two separate tracks. There is a very interesting jam (here, called "MIDI Space")
that I felt should be given its own track.

Subject: Skull n Rain
Probably not much that could have been done by this point. So you get a nice focused half step opener with good harmonies.
Good tune selection but sparse
except for the Bird Song the best offering of the night by GARCIA and yes Aiko but Fingers is pretty tedious and I love that song!
Pleasantly surprised with Vince on keys
And backing vocals.
Prefer him not doing any of his stuff
And that works good this night.
Drummers sound good first set but that may also be because not much else happening.
Main Point-the Boys are giving what they got
To give.
Glad I am not required to leave a rating but this is actually better than I was expecting overall.
If I wasn’t under orders at Fort Sill I would have liked to have been 1 in 10,000

DANK . . .The Comments On Here Are Slamming This Show.
I Think It Is Amazing . . I Would Have Just Been Thankful To Have Been There Listening To Jerry Play (~);)
Subject: Meh....I was there and liked the next two nights better
Don't want to be a wet rag, but I didn't think this show was all that. I was there and they (I guess mainly Garcia) just seemed a little tired. JG wasn't as sharp as normal. Bird Song was not their best and for this to feature Estimated -> nothing (I mean, drums) and then a set-closing T.Stones? Huh? I was forced to endure (I mean
"I got to see") more T.Stones than I care to recall and while I indulged Bobby his righteous tune, it got old in the same place all the time. But for them to close the set on it....as I said in the subject line: 'meh'. It gets three stars for the Half Step, the Bird Song and the Crazy -> Estimated.
Have a listen to the show before you down it. I'd give it the "for completists only" recommendation. For the record, however, I saw some great shows in '94, with the pre-July 4th run at Shoreline being the best.
Yours in Dead,
Eric
