a microphone cable was run down to the basement, the microphone poking through a hole in the box. These crickets were not chirping in time with the song's tempo, so a light bulb was brought near to warm them. Between the soundcheck and the show, a number of crickets escaped through the hole, and their chirping was heard throughout GAMH for some time afterward. Rock promoter Bill Graham, who was not involved in planning this event, heard about it through industry contacts, and showed up to see if he could take part. Graham made a bet with the band's manager Ron Rakow over who would introduce the band, determined by flipping a coin. Rakow lost several flips in a row, and Graham told the audience he was not only introducing the band, but that he was getting paid $50 for the privilege. This part of the introduction was heard on the FM radio broadcast, but it was edited out for the 1991 CD release. The 16-track tapes languished in storage for 15 years. In December 1990, they were transferred to digital audio through a PCM adaptor made by Sony, with audio filters by Apogee Electronics. In January 1991, the audio files were loaded into a Sonic Solutions digital audio workstation to edit them for Compact Disc release. The setlist was re-arranged to accommodate the available time per disc, moving the intermission from after "King Solomon's Marbles" to after "Around and Around". The album was remastered for vinyl in 2013 by Joe Gastwirt, and released as three LPs. Radio broadcast and bootlegs Three weeks after the show, a partial recording of the concert was broadcast on FM radio over the Metromedia Radio Network, heard across the United States. This broadcast did not contain the final 21-minute suite of "Blues for Allah". Many Deadheads, the band's fan base, recorded this broadcast to cassette, and such cassette copies were heavily traded among fans. Based on the FM broadcast, a 2-disc bootleg vinyl album was released in 1975 by The Amazing Kornyfone Record Label (TAKRL) and again in 1979 by Beacon Island Records, both under the title Make Believe Ballroom. Other bootleg titles of the same concert include Hot as Hell released in Japan in 1975 by White Knight Records, and Franklin's Tower published in Europe in 1990 by Flashback World Productions on both CD and LP. Make Believe Ballroom is probably the most
