Notes: # Mickey Hart on Djimbe

This is from the legendary 1984 Spring Tour run the first time they sold tour booklets, one ticket to every show that tour- we bought several.
The second set Scarlet >Fire is considered one of the top ten ever performed. Listen to Mickey on "talking drum" during Fire; the space/drums/space following Estimated is far far out there.

Recording Notes:
1] The Sennheiser binaurals were pressure gradient "omni" type capsules designed to be worn on a human head or the supplied dummy head. This is one of the best representations of how they sounded in this type of live environment. this will sound BEST through headphones; through a stereo you may choose to increase bass slightly.
2] First set tape was stopped between every song break; we must have been trying to conserve batteries. Second set same method until after drums.
+ Tape flip ~41.05
3] First minute has recording level variations; the Sound crew doesn't get it set for levels until start of second song.
