Comments

- Acoustic Dead without Keith and Donna Godchaux. Mickey joined them from "Deep Elem Blues" through to the end
- Only time played acoustically *
- Working on this has brought to light that the soundboard has a cut in "Big Boy Pete", there is about 25 seconds missing.

Notes:

- The right channel was in better shape than the left, so as this is basically a mono recording I copied it over.
- It was necessary to make a substantial number of level adjustments.
- Adjustments also made in respect of the balance between instruments and vocals.
- Some reduction made to background noise.
- The end of "OH Boy" has been patched on using Joe Samiritano's soundboard, Thanks Joe. I also used it to enhance several other small sections where the vocals didn't come through.
- Eq'd because the bottom end was far too prominent.

Thanks to Doug Lamarre for providing this source.

Thanks to Matt Vernon for the transfer and facilitating
