Fix of shnid 7855

The transition between CDs 2 and 3 were made seamless. The overlap
between the 2 had been faded out and then back in, so I had to do a
reverse fade on the end of CD2 and beginning of CD 3. The volumes of
preselected splice points were matched, the overlap between them
deleted, then through careful listening (using the background crowd
noise as a constant) I further tweaked the volume till I had it as
close to the original as I thought possible. It's pretty darn
indistinguishable. Shntool was used to clean up the SBEs and the shn
files converted to flac.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
When this source was first circulated, the flac files contained
REPLAYGAIN tags. The wav files compressed inside the flac files are
fine, but if you listen to the flac files themselves using a player
like WinAMP, these tags cause all the tracks to be played at the same
volume. That's not good for concerts where some tracks are supposed to
be louder than others.

There's a new version of this source available. It has exactly the
same wav files; it's just the flac wrapper that's different, the
wrapper doesn't have REPLAYGAIN set anymore. The new version has the
same ffp file (since the wav's are the same), but a new md5 file
(since the flac files are different). The md5 file for the old source
is called "orig-flac-replaygain-md5"; the md5 file for the good new
source is called "flac-md5". If you have a source for this that
matches the ffp, you can create the new source by unflac'ing the old
source and then recompressing at flac level 8 using the flac command
line tool or the flac frontend.

From now on, only the new version of the source should be circulated.

Fast forward to summer '89, and Eric recommends three shows to us from the first few weeks in July. Foxboro was a pretty terrible place to see the band, but this show was notable for the debut of Jan Sawka's wild backdrop and for a completely wacked setlist that's all part of the slow thawing of the jam-gland here in 1989. And, it's one of those evenings where the crowd and the band were really in touch -- IT is very present here. The first set opens with Playin > Crazy Fingers, for heaven's sake! The Playin' is a very intense, short version, energetic and well-jammed for its length, perfect for a first set opener (check out the guitar work right at the beginning of the central jam -- interesting...). I like the jam in Crazy Fingers even better. Woof. The happiness high point here is the Tennessee Jed, in particular Brent's piano work is very fine. The sweetness high point is a fine To Lay Me Down. Cassidy returns to the sort of jams we got at the beginning, once again short but very interesting, and plenty wild enough to inflate a rowdy Don't Ease. It's hard to see why Mickey gave this a C+, as reported in the compendium. The second set of this one is even better. It opens with a loonnnnnnngggggggg Friend Of The Devil, everyone soloing well, and the crowd quite into it. The Truckin > He's Gone > Eyes that follows is supurb through and through: Phil is a deamon in the Truckin (aren't those just the best?), the He's Gone disolves into some very wild energy that takes the guys far from home, and the Eyes needs some time to climb back to shared reality before it comes together. Drums is huge and wild, Space is particularly other-sentiencish, and then the rest of the show just kind of winds its way through a standard closer. Too bad there's no SBD, you might say, but there are two AUDs you should consider downloading:

The Tim Alexander recording has excellent low tones if you're into Phil; the Danny Thomson recording has less bass but is much clearer at the other end. So, it's one of those "pick your passion" sort of choices. Lucky you can listen before you download....

In 89-07-09, you have the other kind of good show you could get from the band in 1989. There is not nearly as much "interesting" music in this show as there was in 89-07-02, but the band surely keeps the New York crowd rockin' with some serious Stadium Rock. The Shakedown Street opener rocks more than grooves, it's quite danceable, and the crowd gets into it. The Jack Straw that follows is also a crowd pleaser. Victim rears up with the weird energy that will make it work in the second set, but the band grabs the reigns and doesn't give it its way. The best song in the first set is the Bird Song, again quite energetic in the vein of the opening Shakedown, but well played. The band holds that thought and reclaims it with a good China Cat that builds to a house-rockin' Rider. The Samson features Brent and the drummers batting around a musical cat-toy to good effect. The Truckin' rocks, Drums flows into an absolutely mesmerizing space (I think the crowd was rapt rather than reading), and then the band lands the aircraft with four Big Rockers that are sure to please. Imagine yourself coming home sweating; this is not for the faint of heart.

Of these three shows, 89-07-15 is perhaps the best and the worst from one song to the next. The compendium reviewer says that the show "certainly had some of 'those' moments; unfortunately, it also had some of those 'other' moments". I couldn't say it better, so I didn't try. The first set opens with a great rollicking Bertha > Greatest Story, but then it settles into the grassy lawn of Deer Creek and lights up a joint and looks up at the sky and gets mellow. Nothing stands out 'til the end, where you get one of the longer and certainly more venturesome Bird Songs: somehow it feels subterranean rather than spacey to me, traveling down and in rather than up and out, finding several jewels before returning to the surface. In the second set, the opening Foolish Heart is rather motheaten and moldy, but it starts jamming at the end and flows into a Victim where the energy from 89-07-09 is much better explored. Bobby has a unusually large atomic particle flow through his brain during Crazy Fingers, and sings the wrong verse a couple of times (!) which discombobulates everyone. They pull it together during the Truckin', and buid back to a truly remarkable Smokestack Lightnin'. (Eric thinks Bobby's vocals are thin and forced -- I think someone in the crew is squeezing his nuts from behind an amp). The space has a very cool Close Encounters MIDI-guitar thing going on, and then a Chinese thing, and then an Arab thing, and then the MIDI-guitar blows up during China Doll. Things get back together again during the Watchtower, and then Jerry gives us a truly all-time Stella Blue with lovely lovely notes that cry and cry.

To make up for 89-07-02 being unavailable as a SBD, I've thrown in 89-07-07, which is probably my favorite show from this two-week period. It has a great balance of excellent jamming and energy. Even songs that often sucked do not here. And there are some great performances all around (Loser > Let It Grow > Blow Away, Scarlet > Fire, Standing On The Moon, Other One > Wharf Rat > Lovelight all stand out).

Use this link to remember the project, reseed to lost souls, grab things you haven't grabbed yet, and so on. I periodically go through the back-catalog and reseed everything: I keep torrents open that are grabbed quickly. So if you want one of the old DttC's, just open the torrent and leave it in a state where it'll download when someone comes along to seed.

This project is a musical adjunct to and a book review of Eric Wybenga's _Dead To The Core_. I'm going to seed a copy of all the music mentioned in the book except for the stuff that has been commercially released. You might want to pick up a copy of the book and read along with me while I'm seeding -- I think it'll be worth your while. Here are some of the many places you can find one:

07/07 was heretofore impossible to find in a SBD or Healy. Steve, you are truly a wizard - thanks again!
nowaywally 2009-03-18 15:24:58
Now that 7-9-89 first set has one of the best Shakedowns, the Queen Jane, Victim of the Crime. This is an ALL TIME first set, I don't care if you're a Deadhead from the early 70's. Download it and listen. I starrted seeing 'em back in mid-70's and i just love this first set. Had it on cassette and wore it out. Plus it sounds great.

TY Steve!!!!!

Terrific... terrific. :) I was listening to 2-17-79 from way back in DttC052 (http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=519527) -- definitely gets added to my list of Shows That Brought Me Joy -- great from beginning to end.

Thank you, SteveSw

I always thought that the vocal flub in crazy fingers (7-15) set up one of the best truckin' and smokestacks ever (redemption) ....china doll is smokin' also....... I remember phil was just standing there grinning and waiting to drop the bombs while the other one was building and building (7-7) as I remember it, they projected phil and slowly panned him across the back drops as the band just jammed the opening intro to the other one, truley life changing!!!!
SteveSw 2009-03-18 22:03:57
I agree, KChris. The amazing thing was, there were several flubs, and each one set up a redemption to follow. It was a roller coaster of a show in terms of song quality.

But that sounds picky, and I don't mean it to be. The quality in this run of a few weeks is really high. This is where '89 starts to stand up with the other great years: really fine shows, Brent and Jerry truly in sync, Bobby right in there, Phil in great form, the drummers wild.

pvcnova, Bill Tetzeli found the show to fix it, so you can't say it was IMPOSSIBLE to find. You just have to hang around the right places. ;)

The NFA>>Throwing Stones from 7/9/89 is intense! Jerry absolutely goes for it! It's jaw-dropping stuff folks.

This source of 7/7 is an aud.
SteveSw 2009-03-20 06:28:26
Why do you say that, ChillWig? It is listed as a SBD in the eTree database.

Are you asserting that you believe the Healy recordings should be thought of as AUDs rather than MTX or SBD/MTX or SBD?

At JFK, I remember Jerry's solo in Loser was simply titanic. And it was the first show I can remember being at where Brent did a long vocal improv at the end of Blow Away. Funny thing about the Philly show is that they tore down the place — literally — after the Dead played that night. I recall huge chucks of the concrete crumbling away from the steps in the stands. Yep, JFK was taken down to build the present-day Wachovia Center, home of the Flyers, Sixers and lots of other stuff.

I was at the JFK and Giants Stadium shows. They were like the flip sides of a coin.

Philly was hot, epic and excellent of course. There were "showers" round the perimeter of the field so whenever you were in danger of spontaneously combusting, just go soak your head.

BEST

IDEA

EVER.

My friend Chris had called me the week before asking if I could take his girlfriend (whom I had never met) when he came back to town for a rehearsal dinner. She didn't have a ticket of course but considering that JFK was only smaller than the Rose Bowl in the entire US of A, I didn't think it'd be a real problem. Coming up from Delaware we sat in traffic on the bridge before the exit enjoying a frosty beverage from the cooler in the back of my truck. Suddenly I feel someone jump in the bed. Unbeknownst to us, in the car right behind was my little sister Denise and her friend Lindsay. I didn't even know she was going to the show. She snagged herself two beers, waved and jumped back out. So out of tens of thousands of cars heading to the show, she managed to find the one person she could steal beer from and not get in trouble. Rather be lucky than good.

Since the place was so mobbed we had to park a few blocks away in some vacant, overflow lot instead of onsite or in the park across the street which were the norm. We found a ticket and immediately after entering JFK I lost her. I didn't think Chris would be too terribly thrilled with me for losing his girlfriend in South Philly but there wasn't much I could do. Except enjoy the show.

And as for the show, a classic. Songs old and new were played with emotion. Whether it was pathos or pissed off, it all sounded good to me. Memphis Blues was always my favorite Dylan cover from the boys and the set ending Let It Grow> Blow Away was probably the most dynamic thing I'd ever seen them do. Brent fuckin' went OFF! Standing On The Moon in the second set was another of the new songs I hadn't seen before and this one will remain my favorite version. It was a beaut. And you can never really argue with Knockin' On Heaven's Door as an encore. Although on Monday, we'd find that Brokedown Palace would have been more apropos as the greatest stadium that ever was, or ever will be on the East Coast was condemned. If it's even possible for somewhere in the bowels of South Philly to ever be considered idyllic it was that night, in that stadium. So long, old friend.

After the concert I searched the lot and the park for the disappearing debutante but to no avail. So I walked the lonely few blocks back to my truck and there she was, sitting on the toolbox. Good girl. All in all, one of my favorite Dead shows, possibly only topped by what was in store for me in October with that monstrous second set on the final night in Philly.


Giants Stadium was hot as well. Giants Stadium had showers as well. Giants Stadium also had the added bonus of attracting every idiot from Jersey and the five boroughs. Before the show even started one of these brain-donors was kind enough to jump over the wall onto the field, snapping the shower pipe on his way down. Guaranteeing that NO ONE would have water that day. Typical Douche-heads. It's a shame the quake will drop California into the ocean instead of Jersey. An ugly, stupid state full of ugly, stupid people. Don't think so? Ask Adam Katz. Oh that's right, you can't because they murdered him at the Dead show there in October. Nice place.

I'll say it again because it bears repeating; an ugly, stupid state full of ugly, stupid people.

Like I said, the flip sides of a coin.
