*  severely attenuated signal, useless for music  14:03 total.
   

   Additional note: 
   
   Attenuated signal sequence (track 5a) was initially almost 
   completely inaudible. Both channels were subsequently run 
   through Cool Edit 2000 and amplified 40 db including reduction  
   of some degree of hiss and removal of several artifacts result-
   ing in a fairly listenable segment. 



This tape consists of two segments, the first running for 35:02, from the introduction of 
the Dead's "last set" through the first 2:21 of New Potato Caboose, and the second starting 
a couple minutes in to Alligator and running through the end of the set in 32:14.  

At  0:41 of New Potato Caboose the strength of the signal falls away severely in both channels, 
past all recovery and continues in this state for 14:03 before resuming proper strength and 
continuing for 19:54 to the end of the tape.

I note that Eaton lists for this date

11/01/68 Silver Dollar Fair, Chica Ca - xcerpt
  4.9, 055min, Sbd, A0D1, Reel M->Dat  1, 44k,
  10inch 8trk Master [EMAIL PROTECTED]>3700 x 0->3700 x 1

After We Bid You Goodnight Phil tells the audience to "Come back next week -- this is a good place."

Latvala played a Viola Lee from this date at one of the Fillmore Dick's Picks Release Parties.

It's not clear to me how all this fits together.

We have mastered both a complete version, including the 14:03 of bad signal, and an edited version, 
with this segment removed.

Both versions are included in this set.
