Title: 2/12/69 Late Show MSC > D > CD

I did the patching on this version from the alternate SBD source fragment.

I'm checking out a new partial copy of this tape on CD (thanks Dr. Moriarty).  I copy the documentation that comes with it here; my comments follow:


BAND  Grateful Dead
VENUE Fillmore East
CITY  New York
STATE NY
DATE  02/12/69b Late Show
DISCs One

Lineage: SBD>Cassette Master>DAT>CD

1. \\Dark Star >                        4:58   
2. St. Stephen >                        5:53  
3. William Tell >      
   The Eleven >                        15:43
4. Death Don't Have No Mercy            8:22
5. Alligator >                          3:57
6. Drumz >                              4:22  
7. Drummers' Chant >                    0:19
8. Alligator Jam* >                     6:11
9. Caution (Do Not Stop on Tracks)* >   9:21
10.Feedback >                           4:41  
11.And We Bid You Goodnight             4:39

Total disc time:                       68:32

Notes:

* - 11:29 minutes of the Alligator Jam > Caution segment
    were missing from the previously seeded version of this
    show and have been patched into the current version
    from an alternate partial SBD source containing the
    Alligator ====> Feedback segment and bearing the same
    lineage + one cassette gen. The corresponding Feedback
    segment of the alternate SBD source is also missing
    approximately 2:00 minutes of Feedback that are actually
    present in the current version before any patching from the
    alternate SBD source. The current version would then
    appear to contain the complete Alligator ====> Feedback
    segment of the show for a total timing of 28:54.     

The disc picks up with the last 04:59 of Dark Star.  
If Deadbase XI is accurate, this disc is missing Dupree's,
Mountains of the Moon and the better part of Dark Star.Total
disc time prior to patching in the missing 11:29 from the
alternate SBD source is 57:03. Total time per Deadlists and
Eaton's list is 84:00. If the Eaton version is missing the 11:29
minutes of the Alligator Jam > Caution patched from the alternate
SBD source, this could logically account for the resulting 27 minute
time difference.

>From Deadlists:
DeadBase IX notes Early & Late shows on this date.  

Eaton's list reads:

I read the evidence of the Fillmore East 2/12/69 Late Show MSC > D > CD  differently.  

I think Eaton's listed 84 minutes of MSC > D represents the complete Late Show and that the missing portion of the Dark Star and the Dupree's, if any, total approximately 84 minutes minus the 68:32 of the circulating fragment, or about 15:30.  Dupree's runs about 4 minutes, which means another 11:30 of Dark Star for a total Dark Star of circa 16:30, which is right on target for the period.

There are a number of MSC tapes from 1969 represented on Eaton's list which have come into circulation in recent years in a fragmentary state.  2/4/69, 2/5/69, 2/6/69 and 6/21/69 Late Show come immediately to mind.  Reference to DeadLists will quickly turn up others.  

2/12/69 Late Show looks like another member of this group.

The evidence strongly suggests that all these tapes derive from Eaton's copies, that his copies are complete, and that he is responsible for releasing the partial  copies.
