Notes:
- If you like early '73 Garcia/Saunders, and especially Sara Fulcher's vocal
stylings, you'll love this. Lots of super-rare Fulcher-dominated tunes here.
This version of Lonely Avenue is top-shelf, as is Soul Roach.
- d1t01 Dancin' in the Moonlight cuts in, significant level fluctuations.
- d1t02 Lonely Avenue is tremendous.
- d1t03 Expressway splice @ 17:49.
- d2t03 ITALTL, ITATTC cuts in.
- d2t04 after Find a Rainbow, Garcia tries to noodle into another song, but gives up.
- d2t05 Georgia on My Mind splice @ 6:21.

The tracks on disc one have been altered from
the originals. I increased the levels,
substantially in tracks 1, 2 and 3 and to a
lesser extent in tracks 4, 5 and 6. Several
"pops" were also removed from tracks 3 and 4,
using EAC's Process Wave tool. Where there
was no music to recover, the original recording
was left intact. This was done to make the
first 2 tracks of this show listenable. I have
not touched any of the tracks for disc 2, as
their condition as copied from the original
master was much better, than for disc 1.

(1) Sara Fulcher on lead vocals. Find A Rainbow has a substantial cut. Go Climb A Mountain has a 12 second splice presumably due to reel flips. The sound is greatly distorted for first 2 songs and partly distorted for songs 3 and 4 due to problems on the reels. This is one of the shows discovered in the Betty Cantor auction.
