*The NEW track (d2T01.NEW) contains a patch for the famous "Jones Gang" introduction to set 2. This has been patched to contain the complete intro from a quite good audience tape (AUD: MR> C> C -- not a completely reliable sourcing, but close enough for its purpose here). The crowd is prominent, and the AUD is fun because they're absolutely nuts. In fact, the whole show circulates in AUD and it's recommended.
There are two .md5 files for d2. The first (gd77-11-04d2.md5) contains the original tracks. The second .md5 file (gd77-11-04d2NEW.md5) contains checksum information for the new track ONLY. You should when burning choose either d2t01.shn (no patch) OR d2t01.NEW.shn (with AUD patch), but not both.

The following was posted by the Undernet sometime after the initial seeding.
braverman@earthlink.net wholeheartedly concurs, but suggests respectfully that the authors read more widely than middle-period Hunter Thompson.
gd77-11-04 - Jones Gang@Colgate University Homecoming
This seed slipped into the 'tree under the radar from the alt.dead crew last month without the fanfare this Royal Assblaster deserves. The crazily fast, tight mania that crackles off of this show will leave you breathless and exhausted after a full listen.
A good show to compare this to would be 77.05.04. While both shows exhibit the signature '77 hyperdelic cocaine soundstamp -- 05.04 is a nice moonlit, redwine convertible ride compared to the violent psychic enema the Dead gave these undergraduates that magical night at Colgate. The blistering solos during this Eyes of the World alone will make every effort to toss you bodily over The Cliff.
This one will clean the tubes right out -- never mind the initial pressure behind the eyes and those leering insectoid midgets as the skein of space/time unravels, just hang ON to your faces, loyal SHNarvesters, this is some ride...
