Wrong tape chosen on 12/21/78

Opened this issue · 0 comments

There are 3 tapes of that show on archive.org:
https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead?and[]=date:1978-12-21%2A

The first 2 tapes,
https://archive.org/details/gd1978-12-21.152900.s2.lamarre.vernon.sirmick.flac24 and
https://archive.org/details/gd1978-12-21.152899.s2.lamarre.vernon.sirmick.flac16
are listed as "stream only" (ie, soundboard recordings), while the 3rd tape,
https://archive.org/details/gd78-12-21.aud.cotsman.15209.sbeok.shnf,
is an audience recording.

The 2 soundboard shows have the tracks out of order and are basically just messed up. The audience recording has the correct tracks, but the sound quality is substantially worse.

As of now (12/24/22), the 2 soundboard recordings have about 1,000 downloads, while the audience tape has 26,000 downloads.
