Comments:
Sting opened for The Grateful Dead several times in 1993.
On May 15-16, 1993 he opened for the Dead at the Sam Boyd Silver Bowl
in Las Vegas.  Audience tapes of these performances have always been
available but it was not until Fall 2002 that soundboards of these
shows began to surface.  The good news is that both shows sound
terrific - there is a wonderful depth to the music and the vocals and
instruments are very well balanced.  The bad news is that the
soundboards for both shows are incomplete.  The May 15th soundboard
does not include the last part of "When the World..." and "Every
Breath You Take."  The May 16th soundboard does not include the
opening track, "Blackbird."  These remastered and complete versions
contain an audience patch for the missing tracks.  Also, although I
usually don't like to modify the music, I have made one minor change.
The opening of "Purple Haze" is botched in a manner that is both
awful-sounding and dangerous to perfectly good speakers and ear drums.
I have taken the liberty of minimizing but not eliminating the
offending passage.

This came together with the 15 May show. I have split the two for ease
of archiving.
