Matrix Notes:

1)The the right channel of the Glassberg AUD was increased 4 dB. The audio channels were uneven.

2)The Glassberg source (the preferred source for this matrix) appears to contain 2 AUD sources in it. Towards the end of Drums there is a cut in the AUD; after the cut, a strikingly different sounding AUD is patched into the source. The quality of this “other” source was pretty bad, with some bass overload. Very luckily, Jim Wise's AUD was available and sounds just as good as Glassberg's, so I used it from that section in Drums onward to the end of the show. The audience happens to be a little more “defined” in Wise's source, but I ultimately prefer Glassberg's AUD for its richer tonal quality. So, there is a “complementary” shift in sound during Drums, but it sounds pretty much the same and is all good.

3)There were cuts in the AUD and SBD. Significantly, there were cuts in the SBD during Jack Straw (first few seconds), Shakedown Street (first 2:08 of track), Playing in the Band (8:33-9:41), and Sugar Magnolia (last few seconds of song).

4)There were some wacky fluctuations in the SBD mix during the earlier portion of Set 1. There will be moments of extra hiss, changes in vocal and guitar sound, sounds levels, etc. Some of it may be some exciting pedal work by Garcia, but this has not been verified.

5)Enjoy at high volume.
