12/18/73

[Dan McDonald]

hi Kevin -

I was reading the notes for 12/18/73 - the one tape that is supposed to be 
from 'mics on stage' was recorded by a friend of mine.  The mics were not 
on stage, but a few feet from the stage.  He had gotten Garcia's permission 
to record the show by showing up at the soundcheck and showing them 
pictures of their Vanderbilt show, shooting the breeze, etc.  Then he asked 
if he could record it.  They had a guy helping him, who screwed it up and 
that's why the first two songs are missing.

My tape had the rest of the show, except I screwed up on China/Rider.

Just for clarification.  I saw there had been a discussion in deadlists 
some time back.

Dan
