Grateful Dead
Nassau Coliseum
Uniondale, NY
03-28-85
I hope you enjoy this show as much as I have over the years. Phil's book
reminded me of it - he was less than inspired by his recollection of the
winter of '85. But this was a great show (IMHO) & followed the previous
very short night with some unusual structure, a brief reprise to Playin'
(from the previous night), & some great moments overall. The Scarlet is
great, and the end of the transition to Fire is my personal favorite.
MTX for those without the obligatory hardware. DTS for the haves.
The drums segment is generally excellent this night, and with DTS its
incredible.
Enjoy!
PLS

MTX & DTS:
Source data synched using SoundForge 7.0 and Adobe Audition 1.5.
Tracks created using CD Wave.
SBD volume boosted 24% (source files - from Tol - were quite low).
Various corrections to SBD were made - the source files were chopped
up and were missing data between songs and in some cases briefly
during songs. You can get to know a show pretty well doing this....
There was some speed correction done as well. SBD had some minor
speed changes (both up and down) at various points. These were
corrected to the AUD standard.
Where needed, AUD data filled the gaps. The only majors gap occur at
24:27.692 of Set 2 during LL Rain (Aud data fills this gap for 36.775
seconds) and at 9:072 of China Cat (Aud data fills this gap for 5.837
seconds).
I have opted not to list the editin minutia - it would be a book.
