Grateful Dead<br /> The Matrix<br /> San Francisco, CA<br /> October 8th, 1968<br /> <br /> 24 bit 96 kHz audio transfer by Matt Smith<br /> <br /> These reels came from Will Boswell. Back in the early 70's, Peter Kafer <br /> lent his reels to Will who dubbed them @ 7.5 ips. As an aside this was <br /> a different time period from the FE 4/71 reels. Peter obtained his copies <br /> from Bill Abrams who had the master reels and have since vanished from the <br /> stories i've heard. So basically we can deduce the most likely lineage of <br /> these are MR(Abrams)&gt;R @ 7.5 ips(Kafer)&gt;R @ 7.5 ips(Will Boswell). My buddy <br /> Pat Lee scored his from Will and the lineage info is the same except for the <br /> extra reel gen as well. There still is some mystery surrounding these shows <br /> as for exact lineage and there are a few people who have the same lineage as <br /> this but generally, all circulating copies have been sourced with Kafer's <br /> reels. I felt this should be shared for 2 main reasons which are the nice <br /> dynamics and the pristine condition of the reels which can make a huge <br /> difference in this day and age. the recent ABB 4-11-70 Ludlow is another <br /> textbook example of this. When one is dealing with old, fragile tape, <br /> lineage isn't neccesarily the most important factor anymore. It's the actual <br /> condition of the tape and how it's played back and transfered. Finally, <br /> when Peter gave these to Will he said, &quot;hey man, don't give these to anybody <br /> else ok??&quot; Of course he gave copies to his brother Dave. How could he not?? <br /> I guess some things just never change..LOL<br /> <br /> Mixed and Mastered by Jamie Waddell a **GEMS** Production <a href="http://www.shnflac.net">www.shnflac.net</a> <br /> Dec 2010<br /> <br /> -This is a mix down of the line feed left channel, and the more ambient <br /> miced right channel.

These shows were billed as &quot;Jerry Garrceeah <br /> (Garcia) and His Friends&quot; on the poster for the October 1968 schedule at <br /> The Matrix (see &quot;The Art of Rock&quot;, page 166). However, the &quot;on the town&quot; <br /> column in the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper, by Ralph J. Gleason, which <br /> which gave listings of what bands were playing locally, says that &quot;The <br /> Grateful Dead and Elvin Bishop&quot; are playing at The Matrix on these dates <br /> (see the San Francisco Chronicle for Monday October 7, 1968 pg 49 and <br /> Wednesday October 9, 1968 pg 48). on page 26 of issue #34 (Summer 1996) of <br /> Dupree's Diamond News, Dick Latvala stated in an interview &quot;What I know <br /> exists in our Vault are the shows, and they are on four-track 15 i.p.s. <br /> There are seven reels for 10/8, which are marked first and second sets <br /> with [Jack] Casady, then Elvin Bishop and Casady&quot; (1) Jerry's amp dies and <br /> they begin the Clementine Jam over again. (2) All of Set 3 with Elvin Bishop.<br /> (3) Jack Casady, Hart, and Bishop only. In addition to Set 2, DeadBase XI <br /> lists: Caution (Do Not Stop on tracks) &gt; Jam (with Jack Casady). in DeadBase X<br /> they say in the tape timings section for 10-8-68 on page 248, that right <br /> before the 2nd set there is this announcement: Jerry: 'Is Elvin here? Is <br /> Elvin here? Got his old scene here. Too much fun. We're gona let Elvin play. <br /> This guy who's gonna play the bass here is Jack Casady. This band is called <br /> Mickey Hart and the Hartbeats.' Elvin Bishop: 'Hello, my name is Elvin Bishop <br /> and my band was supposed to be playing here tonight. But we had a little <br /> trouble and one of the members of the rhythm section couldn't make it, so <br /> we're gonna sort of be jamming.'<br />
