i recently had an opportunity to listen to a soundboard of this GD 06-17-75
show and would like to share my notes.  the beginning portion of the
recording has major problems - low levels, only one channel recorded
(usually just the left), nothing getting recorded, ground hum, random
static, dropouts in the middle of songs, etc.  these problems are present
up until about the middle of 'deal'.  after that, the recording is fine.
the great music and great playing is the icing.  the song titles in the
second set correctly identify what was played.
