Notes:

1) Promised Land in the AUD source appears to be patched from a different AUD recording.  

2) Mexicali Blues in the AUD source had some "warping" issues in the earlier portion and does not sound as good as the AUD songs that follow, so I decided not to matrix it.

3) Set 2 sounds better due to the better sounding SBD source (master reel), which is not the same as set 1.

4) Soundtrack Pro was used to clean up numerous instances of light static in the set 1 SBD source. 

5) The AUD had some tuning and stage banter between songs, which were not present on the SBD.

6) Set 2 jam is extremely stellar.
