Grateful Dead :: 08.30.70 :: KQED Studios San Francisco, CA

Many, many, many thanks go out to Christopher Hazard for all his work on this and making it possible for the rest of us to enjoy. He notes:

“This is the second time i uploaded this video in 24-hours... I managed to remove almost all of the flicker from the video and cleaned up the temporal noise to a huge extent (and it took 24-hours on a brand new RTX 3090TI machine for this 28-minute video!) -- I am really happy with the results so, welcome to the Re-Remaster? :D Enjoy!!!”

I’ll be honest enough to admit that I don’t know what most of the machine numbers mean or even really what (Native 16:9) means. But I know good music when I hear it and this is goooooood music.

Setlist:

  1. Easy Wind

  2. Candyman

  3. Casey Jones

  4. Brokedown Palace

  5. Uncle John's Band
