This is a Video and Audio Remaster of
Grateful Dead
Manor Downs
Austin, Texas
09/13/83

Video given the "restoration" designation because the overall quality being worked with... This is considerably better than where it started, and we can only do so much (though things change almost daily)....
More notes on audio and video sources below, along with lineage of each. (original audio was replaced)

All post-production work by Josh Davis and Christopher Hazard
June 27, 2022 - CH

Notes from us :

Video notes:
Video is a bit lacking in overall quality throughout, and this is a "to be expected" thing with the rarities from the early 80s and before. AUD videos were still a few years from "catching on" ... mostly because the needed equipment just wasn't viable in those times.

We tried to make this work at 60fps and I just couldn't get to cooperate at all, so i reverted it back to the original 30fps and it's marginally better than it was at 60fps... Sometimes you win sometimes you don't.. Either way, this is a good show and early 80's videos aren't exactly in abundance.. A very overlooked era in dead history in my own eyes.

Audio notes:

Audio replaced with a FOB source which both me and Josh believe is the best available.
(FOB = "Front of Board") ... To the people not "in the know" ... this means the taper was in front of the soundboard, and not in any designated "taper section"

"We stand on the shoulders of the rebels who came before us"
