"notes": "This is my best guess at the lineage and the source. NRPS played before the Grateful Dead, but you put the shows in whatever order you wish to.\n\nThere is some question as to whether the Me & My Uncle was played before or after the Good Lovin'. Based on the information from www.deadlists.com, I placed it after. You can choose to do whatever you wish with it. In addition, you'll note that this is far less than two disks worth of material. If anyone has any more of the NRPS show, I'd recommend adding to the rest of the NRPS material and sending me a copy as well.",

"notes": "Source: AUD-MCass>DAT>DAT>CDR\nDAT speed-corrected by David Gans\nVarious glitches edited out by CW\n\nposted to abgd 11/2002\n\nSBE's on all tracks except d2t03\n\nCary Wolfson's notes:\n\nMy friend Norm Sartorius and I had seen the Dead for the first time at the Fillmore West in April 1970 after driving cross-country in (of course) a VW microbus. This was the run where Miles Davis opened for them. We came back to Baltimore (where I grew up) babbling to friends but we didn't have anything to play for them except Live Dead and, when it first came out, Workingman's Dead. Then we heard that they were coming to Georgetown U. After work on a Friday we loaded up whoever would fit into Norm's VW bus and took off for D.C. The place (a big, very hot gym) was packed when we got there. At the 4-12-70 show I was leaning against the stage (right in front of Pig), so there was no way were going to be in the back bleachers. Besides, I had this new Sony TC-124 tape deck. So we wormed our way up the aisle to the front. They were actually trying to keep a fire aisle open across the front. We bribed the security guy with a hit of mescaline and he let us in. We ended up maybe 15 feet back from the stage. I stood there the whole night with my hand in the air. The New Riders played and Garcia joined them. I taped this, too, but trust me, you don't want to hear it. The sound was awful.\n\nThere was a long break, during which people passed water jugs up to the stage and some of the crew would fill them up with water and pass them back -- it was so hot and crowded. Finally, they got everything set up. The announcer says, \"Once again, the Grateful Dead,\" which led one writer to speculate that maybe there was more to this show, but he was just referring to the Riders set with Jerry. It's a short show, but Wow! BTW, the guy making the most noise on the tape is NOT me, but this goofy guy who'd been on the California trip with us. Still, you can hear me say at one point, sarcastically, \"You think they've got it on tonight?\" and this guy respond, equally jokingly, \"Maybe half-lit.\" Hey, we were all well-dosed and enjoying a Grateful Dead concert the way it was supposed to be.\n\nAs far as taping went, I really didn't know what the hell I was doing. This was way before Maxell XL-IIs came in vogue and I was using one no-name \"assembled in Mexico\" cassette and one Mallory Duratape (taping over the first Hot Tuna album). The TC-124 didn't have a pause button and, like other tapers of that era, I hit the stop button a lot between songs to save tape. In spite of that, this still sounds pretty damn good, even 32 years later. Supposedly there was a radio broadcast, but no copy of it has ever materialized.",
