Notes:
The SBD source had digital noise reduction applied via Jim Wise, but it seems less caustic than on 2/28 - in particular, the first set on 2/28 has a slightly more brittle sound, due in part to hotter vocals.
SBD levels were reduced shortly after the beginning of Feel Like A Stranger to compensate for some initial loud vocals. Some soundboard mix fluctuations occur a little later in the song, with Jerry's guitar becoming softer, in and out, for much of the song. The matrix helps smooth these issues out.
Althea had some initial soundboard low level and mix fluctuations before the first verse, which we adjusted both SBD and AUD levels for (up or down gradually) to help smooth things out. SBD mix fluctuations also occur early on in Little Red Rooster.
Mason B. Taylor's recording, #128750 (5/19/14), patches 4:20 of Drums in Glassberg's tape, with 3 seconds still missing at the end of the patch.
A few tiny cuts in Feel Like A Stranger and GDTRFB are now patched in the SBD.
One of the best China Riders of 1981! Up there with the one in Boulder.
