Original Audio attributes: stereo SBD 48kHz Dat master first rip by grner1 - 2023-05-17: Panasonic SV-3700 (S/PDIF digital output) } Zen Go Synergy Core interface } Pro Tools (normalize, minor seamless fixes and tracking on sector boundaries - no EQ or noise reduction) } 16/48 .wav files } xACT (tagged Flac level 8 files). The applause at the end of Dawg's Waltz up until the first 18 seconds of Russian Lullaby were missing from this SBD and were spliced in from an alternate closely recorded audience source. The smooth splice is almost undetectable other than the applause being a bit louder in the mix at the end of Dawg's Waltz. The transition back to the soundboard source is extremely seamless and very satisfactory. These are 16/48 files.

Notes:
What I did to improve video:
1) Deinterlacing (this eliminated all the closeup motion distortion on all other versions including Jesse Block's original Vimeo file uploaded 7+ years ago and all subsequent DVD authoring)
2) brightness and black level adjustments (this improved the picture quality substantially)
3) eliminated the head switching noise at bottom of frame
4) centered the video, which was previously skewed to the left side
What I did to improve the DAT audio:
1) amplified right channel, which was substantially lower than the left channel during the first 50 minutes of this recording. Now it's far better balanced.
2) synchronized the upgraded 16/48K DAT audio to upgraded video (and made it pure LPCM 16/48k audio on the DVD instead of AAC, which is how the audio was on all previous copies of this footage.
This now looks and sounds substantially better than it ever has. Previous DVD copies (and Jesse Block's original Vimeo file) all suffered from various video issues and which had a mono board feed in the left channel and a mono audience mic in the right channel that were slightly off sync with each other. The audio levels were also extremely low. Despite those anomalies, it sounded quite good, but also overly ambient, so people often mistakenly attributed the audio track to being an audience recording. The DAT SBD audio (which just surfaced yesterday), although dry, sounds crystal clear, with a much brighter high end, a much punchier low end, more dynamics and is in stereo, making this remastered DVD a far more enjoyable watching and listening experience. Enjoy! -Alan
===============================================
BHP Notes - received the above upgraded dvd from Alan Bershaw with permission to release the video without alteration to either the video or the audio but to include menus and chapters. Many thanks to the Jesse Block's making this available and Alan for syncing the new audio and correcting some of the original video's problems. There will also be upcoming Bluray and MKV releases shortly.
Nothing wrong with having more Grateful Dawg music in our lives..

So heartfelt. Nice morning with these beautiful people.
Really miss Jeannie, and Dixie and the whole hearty gang at Sweetwater. So many great artists there every week, and it was basically a place you met your friends and all the performers as one...Incredibly wonderful place, and I'm glad to say I played and listened for hundreds of hours there. This show was a party for John at Village, another amazing place in time in the ole MV...You could ask John anything about rock, and he probably knew it off the top of his head, and had the album for ya.
AWSOME
Amazing concert and the quality of the recording sounds incredible……😊

Howdy, Alberta! It's nice and frosty here in Pennsylvania this a.m. > mid 30°s. Grisman and Garcia warming it up 🌞🎶
Wow. Multo bene! Muy fantastico!! Muchas Garcias!!!
Would have loved to see Jerry in such a small venue that would have been amazing and I've said this before he always looks so much happier when he's playing with The Jerry Garcia band or anybody else than he did when he was playing huge arenas with the dead
I love this. ❤
Thank you Kevin for your videos, they are truly some of the happiest times of my life. ❤and Light sent. 🎉
big mahalos for all your work kevin 🤙🏽🤘🏽👊🏽
What a gem! Great job pulling the sound and video together. Thank you!
Thank Kevin been chewing on the San Fran shows a lot here lately and was stoked to see ya dug this one up buddy will definitely be wearing it out Sir 👍
Great audio well balanced and clear.
Great to hear Grateful Dawg when Jerry was still at or near the peak of his powers!🌞
Yeah 72-77 was the diggity 👍
BEST solo acoustic guitar I ever heard is Jerry Garcia, 1980, at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic NJ. The show is an upload on UA-cam.
I listened to that show just two weeks ago. Jerry made a lot of nervous mistakes on the first few songs and never played solo again.
Magnificent! Thank you.
Wow. Muchas Garcias. This set is SO great. We heard about it the next day and everybody about died not to have been there, but SBD cassette came around almost at once (somebody had mercy) and then they played 2 shows at the Warfield six weeks later, which made it better, But this set is special -- and now video, too. Big thanks Kevin Tobin.
I would like to know whose arrangement The Thrill Is Gone is.
I just learned that "Take Me" is the correct title of Spring In California, which wins my nomination for Jerry's Bottom Five Worst Covers. Probably it's a generational thing. He heard it on his grandma's radio when he was four.
Jerry is in top form and on his best behavior. He and Grisman lift each other, and Grisman controls himself somewhat -- he only solos over Jerry's vocals SOMEtimes. The mandolin is the pushiest instrument ever created.
This is Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing.
This is their 1st public, hooray. If I remember right. Nice work, Kevin.
Thanks! This made my day. 😁
Same!! I took off today, ate a gummy, and this appears in my notifications! Awesome!
Hey Tobin, you've reemerged with a bang!
💥✌🏼💨💨💨
Wow!! This is the shizzznittt! Thank you!
Superb!! Thank you!!👏🤠♥️
Thanks so much for this Kevin... It's too easy to forget all this great music... Appreciate you keeping it alive.
Wonderful! Thanks Kevin for doing what you do 🙏
There are clips of this performance in the great documentary " Grateful Dawg". It's also alluded to that Grisman and Garcia had a falling out where they didn't speak for a few years before they got together to record a couple albums and do some shows in early 90s. I'm only speculating but I think it might be that Grisman was upset for being passed over for Sandy Rothman when Garcia put together his acoustic band for a short tour in 87 (Jerry Garcia Almost Acoustic)
Another unearthed treasure. Thank you kindly. Very high quality. Jerry was peaking throughout ‘90. Just exactly perfect.💀⚡️

Love you Sweet Susie. Id love to visit you and Cotton again.
😉😘💨💨💨💚
Do you think the people there knew how great a show this was? . Just wish I was there .
You bet they did...Most of the crowd were regulars, residents, and local friends of the place and music lovers bigtime. I lived in Mill Valley then thru Sweetwater's closing/sale in 1999. That show, while special, was pretty much par for the course. Some of those really nice ones were private, celebrating something or someone... It was the worlds greatest neighborhood bar and nightspot. Bay Area gem.
Jerry's voice is strained here as he had just returned from a 3 night GD stand in Denver. The higher elevation was difficult for him, given his extreme cigarette addiction & other health issues (altho he was relatively healthy in the 89 - 91 "last hurrah" era)
Curious that you have this posted at the same time as Christopher Hazard. How does that happen?
A day apart if memory serves, but quite different edits. Hate to be that guy, but for the sake of posterity, folks should really check out that other version for some more richness.
@@wordgifts Meh, they're both SBD recordings. They sound almost identical, except that Hazard tweaked the EQ for a little more treble. Regarding video quality, there is more color saturation in the Hazard video. This video is closer to the original video source.
The 1st 30 comments are hilarious. Dudes, step away from your parfanalilia, dudes.
