Info on GD 6/12/76

[Calvin Thorne]

Hello. I just got a copy of 6/12/76 from DooDah trees. Lineage is listed as: "Aud > Cassette > DAT"...not very informative and probably not accurate. It's most certainly a matrix (as long as "matrix" means some SBD, some AUD), because the crowd is quite present in the mix, even individual voices, but the music comes through strong over them when the band is playing and the dynamic range is very good.   Here's my timings. These are not directly from the track times on my discs, as I disagreed a few times with the track markers and the "pauses" in between songs are mostly on the end of the track for the song before. The major discrepancy I noticed is that my copy seems to give creedence to the "Sugar > US Blues > Sunshine" listing currently mentioned in the notes.   SET1    (1) [4:23] ; Samson [5:40] ; (2) [3:19] ; Row [9:58] ; [1:31] ; Music [4:54] ; [1:26] ; BE Women [4:45] ; [1:11] ; Big River [5:21] ; (3) [1:22] ; (4) Mission [6:25] ; [0:23] % (5) [1:30] ; LL Rain [7:56] ; (6) [1:16] ; FOTD [8:12] ; [1:33] % (7) [0:10] ; Lazy [2:54] > Supp [4:59] ; [1:46] ; High Time [9:13] ; [1:17] ; Promised [3:24] ; [0:37] %   SET2    [1:51] ; The Wheel [4:37] ; [2:20] ; Cassidy [4:17] ; [1:57] ; Tennessee Jed [8:49] ; (8) [0:00] ; Let It Grow [7:16] > Drums [0:50] > Let It Grow [3:08] > Wharf Rat [10:01] > space jam [2:38] > Comes A Time [7:43] ; [1:16] ; Dancing In The Street [10:27] > (9) jam [0:24] > Around and Around [5:46] ; [3:22]   ENCORE    (10) [1:29] ; Sugar Magnolia (11) [5:27] > U.S. Blues (12) [5:15] > Sunshine Daydream [2:47] ; [0:38]   (1) tuning (2) Bobby gives a "big ole hello to all you folks out there in radio-land" and announces that it's Billy's birthday tonite. (3) I hear no evidence of a cut/splice between Big River and Mission on my copy (4) There is no cut/splice during Mission on my copy (5) Phil and Bobby banter, another "Happy BDay" to Billy and "Hello" to the folks in radio-land. (6) No cut/splice between LL Rain and FOTD. (7) This is where Disc 1 and Disc 2 are split, could be longer or shorter... (8) This is where Disc 2 and Disc 3 are split, could be longer... (9) Not sure if I agree with the "jam" notation...the drummers kick up the bass-beat a bit, but Keith's notes are still hanging on to the Dancin' structure (by a thread...) (10) crowd _ROARS_, presumably to the band returning to the stage, of particular note is that the track that starts with Around is 10:37 and I hear no cut/splice in it. It seems to be a constant recording from the end of Around to the beginning of Sugar and includes lots of cheering (hardly a lull at all) and then a roar right before hearing some band noodling and banter. (11) entire band hits the last chord at 5:24, then Keith plays one trilly-chord...then another...then Jerry starts US Blues. (12) band hits last chord of US Blues at 5:05 and sustains it until about 5:13. Sunshine's chords begin after a short "breath".     -Calvin Thorne
