Future Grateful Dead quasi-member Ned Lagin helped bring the Dead to MIT’s campus for this show. And Ned spent the next three days hanging with the boys, playing the world’s first video game on the university mainframe with Jerry and Phil, showing them around the labs and studios at MIT, and talking a ton about computers, electronics, and music. The Dead also attended a Ned Lagin performance in the school’s chapel and put on a free campus concert amidst the student protests and shutdowns over the Vietnam War and Kent State.

Notes:

Comments: – You can occasionally hear the taper/s and friends chatting but it doesn’t get in the way. – “Love Light” contains “Saint Stephen”, “Darkness” and “China Cat jams.” This was the first “Darkness” jam. + – Billy’s 24th Birthday. Notes: – A number of small dropouts have been repaired and a considerable number of bumps removed. – Some background noise has been removed. – Patches have been taken from shid 32276 which is my remaster of Noah Weiner’s source. “I Know You Rider” – last 11 seconds (no music involved) “Friend Of The Devil” – 0:00- 3:54 “banter, tuning and Weir’s stories” – all “New Speedway Boogie” – 0:00-0:42 and 10:40-11:27 “Casey Jones” – all “I’m A King Bee” – first couple of seconds “Not Fade Away” – last 46 seconds “Love Light” – first 6.5 seconds – I also did a little work on the NRPS set to remove several artifacts and retracked it. Thanks to Joe B. Jones for his advice on pitch correction. Thanks to Noah Weiner who’s source provided the patches and the NRPS set Thanks to Charlie Miller for the transfer but mostly thanks to Tim Dalton for providing this source of a great show. What a joy it must have been to attend one of these GD/NRPS nights of music. edited and mastered SIRMick February 2018
