First Dick's Picks Release to Include a Concert In Its Entirety 

Engineer Jeffrey Norman on mastering Dick's Picks Volume 5: “This is another great early Dick’s Picks that I think comes alive with remastering at 96K/24b and subsequent vinyl mastering. The sound off the tape is a little “thick”, i.e. there is a little extra bottom end on the mix. I did some EQ work that helped clarify things a bit, so this version of Dick’s Picks Volume 5 is clearer both because of the higher resolution (96K/24b) and because of a slightly different EQ. "An interesting note is that the mix on the tape is inadvertently stereo reversed. This was done in the original recording and has Brent’s keyboards on the left and Bob’s guitar on the right. Because this is opposite to what is viewed from the house, I corrected the left-right image so that the band is heard the way they would have been seen. I remember Mickey wanted to hear references of live shows from the stage, meaning that for him the image was the opposite from the audiences because that’s how it sounded to him on stage! The stereo image on tape was just what he would have wanted!”
