You Win Again has its original vocal intact, mistakes and all. Other cuts had certain parts patched or harmonies added later or recut, such as Cumberland Blues, which contains some sweetened harmonies but other parts are the original performance. <br />The famous Morning Dew from the final show at the Lyceum has only one short line patched where Garcia's voice cracks rather harshly (you'll know which one); the remainder that showed up on the WB issue is the original performance.<br />Another weird thing that trained musicians such as myself would notice is that on the WB LP, quite a few of the tracks were sped up. I don't know if this was because of timing restraints on LPs, slow speed on the tape recording, or that it was routine to give songs a little temp kick thinking the lay listener wouldn't notice. But a glaring example is the China Cat/I Know You Rider on the original LP is sped up nearly a quarter tone. The Trucking'-Morning Dew sequence on the LP is sharp in pitch as well. gymnopedies13https://www.blogger.com/profile/04749467342849917648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7664108620982677868.post-91358409137219498182015-04-24T09:03:19.589-04:002015-04-24T09:03:19.589-04:00It's Newcastle-Under-Lyme, not Trent.
