General Notes:

Three sources from the LMA provided coverage for this matrix: a different 
SBD for each set, and a very nice sounding FOB AUD recorded by Steve 
Hopkins.  While the first set SBD source suffers greatly from previous NR,
the second set SBD is superb, resulting in an excellent matrix.  Multiple
requests from the audience for St. Stephen in the first set help to 
resurrect this gem (not played since Halloween 1971).  Another resurrection
is a stirring High Time, stashed since 7-12-70.  Most notable IMHO is the
8+ minute intro to Eyes which clocks in at 17:17 total.  Some consider this 
show second only to the 7-18 show for 1976 with the 6-29 up there as well, 
definately in the top 3.  While the intro to St. Stephen is AUD only, it is 
still quite listenable, with the crowd reacting strongly, and the matrix 
kicks in once the vocals start.  A Franklin's encore is also an added bonus.

Thanks to Steve Hopkins for recording the FOB AUD, Dave Minor and Dave 
Handrich for DAT/CDR dupes, and Matt Vernon for the AUD editing and 
conversion. Thanks to J Cotsman for the Set 1 SBD.  Thanks to Paul B. 
for the set 2 SBD source discs, and to Tony G for converting and seeding 
them.  Thanks to Jonathan Aizen for uploading all 3 sources to the Llama.

Enjoy!

Editing Notes:

Timeline/Tracking Notes:

In order to fit the first set on one 80 min. disc, I edited out some
crowd in between songs, crossfading so the transitions are smooth.
The transition between the disc 2 and 3 can be put together seemlessly.

Editing Notes:

- Pitch
Both sources were pitched differently, the AUD being the sharpest, 
and the SBD being the flatest.  I used the SBD as my master timeline 
and pitch referenced the AUD to it. The AUD on average had to be pitched
down about -.18 (18 cents) for set 1 and about -.07 (7 cents) for set 2
to achieve pitch correction - 1.00 being 100 cents which is a semitone.  
I did not reference A=440 as I did not desire to pitch adjust the SBD.  
Set 2 is very close though to A=440.

- Synch
Even after pitch correcting the other two sources to the FOB AUD, 
because of the speed fluctuation within a given source, multiple edits
were performed to keep the sources synched.  Because the SBD was my
master pitch and time ref, the AUD was synched to the SBD (too many
edits to list).

- Sonic Quality/Matrix ratio
I did choose to employ a slight amount EQ to the first set SBD 
to regain some of what was lost by the previous NR. The result is OK
for the first set, but the SBD was not that great to begin with. The second 
set SBD did receive a little limiting (Waves L2) to give it a little more 
presence when coupled with the AUD with excellent results. Conceptually, all
I was trying to do here is to add some dimension to the SBD, which is 
pretty dry but very crisp, by using the ambience of the AUD. The result 
is a lively but clear recording, hopefully close to how it sounded at 
the show. If I had to guess the SBD/AUD ratio would be somewhere between 
3:1 and 4:1, leaning more towards the 4:1 end of things.

- Edits
The following are places where the SBD had holes or incomplete coverage 
in reference to the final matrix timeline. 

SBD:
d1t01 (0:00 - 2:31) - missing
d1t01 (6:31 - 7:32) - missing (crowd)
d1t02 (4:41 - 6:15) - missing (crowd)
d1t03 (9:03 - 10:36) - missing (crowd)
d1t04 (5:17 - 7:20) - missing (crowd)
d1t05 (11:10 - 12:52) - missing (crowd)
d1t06 (0:00 - 5:54) - missing all
d1t07 (6:36 - 7:08) - missing (crowd)
d1t07 (7:33 - 7:43) - missing (crowd)
d1t08 (8:18 - 9:25) - missing (crowd)
d1t09 (7:27 - 8:39) - missing (crowd)
d1t10 (3:26 - 3:34) - missing (crowd)
d2t01 (0:00 - 2:52) - missing all (crowd)
d2t02 (0:00 - 0:57) - missing 
d2t04 (10:44 - 14:18) - missing (crowd)
d2t05 (4:46 - 6:37) - missing (crowd)
d2t07 (4:17 - 5:32) - missing (crowd)
d2t08 (8:53 - 9:41) - missing (crowd)
d3t01 (5:58 - 7:39) - missing (crowd)
d3t02 (6:59 - 7:27) - missing (crowd)
d3t03 (5:59 - 6:00) - replaced stereo track w/ right channel only (dropout)
d3t03 (6:13 - 6:39) - missing
d3t05 (6:35 - 8:11) - missing (crowd)


AUD:
Set 1 had parts of the crowd in between songs edited out so as to fit
the whole set on one disc.

- Recap
The AUD has full coverage. Note that alot of the missing elements from the SBD 
source are just crowd segments except for the first 2 minutes of Cold Rain, 
all of Big River, the first minute of St. Stephen, and about a half minute in the 
middle of Dancin'. Other than that, the rest of the SBD is intact.
