Edits on wav file include:  
resampling 48>44.1Khz to address bad transfer to PCM, suggesting a DAT at 48K preceded in lineage; remastered levels to improve bottom-end by a ~5 dB using Samplitude Producer 2496; and a few fades.

Until someone has anything more definitive to suggest, I'll go with the current data on the PCM tape.  Deadlists.com had this to say:


COMMENTS  Book Of The Dead Heads and DeadBase IX list the Dead at Fillmore West on this date.  There is tape in circulation with this date, labeled "Garcia, Nelson & Wakefield, the Matrix, San Francisco 2/19/69," 90 SBD reels, but it is not Grateful Dead and (probably not Wakefield either).  Dave Sorochty's research in the archives of San Francisco newspapers was unable to turn up any mention of either of these shows, although the paper generally listed Matrix shows and ran ads for the Fillmore West.  It seems very doubtful that the Dead played Fillmore West.  The SF Chronicle did list Casady & Kaukonen at the Matrix on this date, with Weird Herald opening.  If Garcia, Nelson and whoever did play a set at the Matrix on this date, they was unbilled (or were they "Weird Herald"?).
