Live at McArthur Court, U of Oregon on 1978-01-22 (1978)

Grateful Dead · 1978 · 166 min

The Grateful Dead's McArthur Court set places a “Close Encounter Space” passage between “The Other One” and “St. Stephen,” giving the second half a distinctive source-labeled turn. “Terrapin Station” and drums precede it, while “Not Fade Away” and “Around and Around” follow. The earlier set begins with “Minglewood Blues” and “Dire Wolf,” includes “Cassidy,” “Peggy-O” and “Jack Straw,” and ends with “The Music Never Stopped.” “Bertha”/“Good Lovin'” starts set two, with “U.S. Blues” as the encore. Two very short patches preserve openings in the selected audience edition without changing its overall cassette provenance.

Selected edition: 21-file source edition; AKG D224E microphones fed Sony TC-158SD cassette masters, with Hohlwein, Menke and Egert credited for taping/transfer/mastering. Korg DSD preservation preceded 24-bit/96 kHz WAV. Eight seconds of Bertha and five seconds of St. Stephen use alternate sources, the latter an unreleased Pat Lee recording. from the documented source. 21 audio files, 960,876,384 bytes and 166:21 of measured audio.
