Extraction and shortening by G.S. Hamilton http://db.etree.org/shninfo_detail.php?shnid=2199 David Hollister's comments: Set 3 has unknown # of PCM gens. Disc 3 is an 80 minute disc, but it can fit on a 74 if you want to leave off the post-show chatter. I cleaned up pops during Dark Star with SF pencil tool. There are still a couple of very small spots of what sounds like static during Dark Star, usually only in one channel. I didn't feel they were worth bothering with. Small clicks at 25:34, 26:35 in Dark Star. Lots of small zits and stuff all over the place, presumably from the PCM tape. ***************************************************************** Comments from The Setlist Program web site (not from me): This was a benefit for Springfield Creamery. -glenn, glenn1723@yahoo.com Very nice show! Third set Dark Star>El Paso opener.... mmmmmmm... The stuff dreams are made of! I rate this show an A+ -Doug, dmc@thirdrailmusic.com This is one of the most ridiculous shows I have ever heard. Bird Song jams out like never before. Playin in the Band has some of the trippiest sounds ever emminating from Jerry's gitar. Dark Star-->ElPaso drips with goo! Get this if you don't have it. I've heard that it is on video to (Sunshine Daydream). If anyone has seen it, please tell me! -John Khawam, johnkhawam@hotmail.com YUP......... -Anonymous Part of this show will be released on DVD sometime in 2002. -fz, frank.j.zerbo@lmco.com Stories from old deadheads reveal many of the same recollections... lots of good acid, lots of dancing, lots of freedom, lots of heat, lots to great trips. Deeply psychadelic playing on even the simplest songs, not to mention "Playin'", "Dark Star," "Bird Song" -tchofgray@aol.com, tchofgray@aol.com The the most transendant Show in all it transendant SHN-format... and you thought life couldn't get any better. -AcousticJonz, Acousticjonz@hotmail.com best Bird Song ever! -Chris, cgb420@yahoo.com Absolutely the best post-Europe show that year! -Anonymous best jack straw i have heard! -jason, xmasterofpuppets@aol.com the playin' is so "far out" -Anonymous one of my favorite shows ever. i have it on VIDEO and i would like it on cd. e mail me -jon, jabes65@hotmail.com flys like a bullet in tye-dyed rain... -jeremy overrated?? at first i thought maybe it was a bit... BUT upon repeated listenings i changed my opinion...was it the heat? the acid? the crowd? i don't know what it was exactly but the whole show feels surreal and by the time they are deep into a "dark star" that will literally steal your face right off your head you realize that this is serious "mind melt" stuff folks! -Row Jimmy, jheitbrink@fedgroup.com great mexicali and bertha -nick I saw Dark Star Orchestra play on this very sight at the Oregon Country Fair this year. Choice. Sing Me Back Home is nice here. Stage announcements here among the more entertaining. I do like this show. Dick thought it was over rated. There was probably less then 200 folks at this thing, I've seen several pics. -joe head I never got to see a dead show, but if I got my choice of one, this would be the show I'd pick. If anyone can get me a copy of it on video, I will trade anything. -Devin, newpotatocaboose67@yahoo.com I think the accurate Head count for this gig was about 30,000... I have seen the video. -Matt Baxter, mb198119@sju.edu
