General Notes:
Two sources from the LMA provided coverage for this matrix: a relatively
dry SBD, and a pretty nice sounding FOB AUD recorded by strangers with
Jerry Moore's rig (see Jerry's notes). The result is an excellent matrix,
justifying the blending of two sources to breathe life back into a
relatively unrecognized but excellent show. Check out these reviews from
the Llama:
"I have the soundboard version of this show and I must admit that it is
clear but clinical. No Character. This audience version has the ambience
that is lacking in the soundboard. Do yourself a favor and download both!"
"You've heard the classics, now try this one! Recommended." -Dr. Flashback
This is the first show of 29 played at Capital Centre, and Bill Graham
starts off by letting the crowd know to stay out of the isles, probably
concerned with the fire marshall, who I'm sure was not impressed by
the firecrackers (M80s?) that were let off periodically during the show -
the most loud and notable is during To Lay Me Down, the crowd in a very
intimate space, an explosion even clearly loud on the SBD. Listener beware!
The whole show is played well, from the gumption of Sugaree through the
excellent Weather Report Suite (nice Keith); and the second set starts
with a slow but funky He's Gone (Phil), a freaky Spanish Jam out of the "space"
of a 1 verse Other One, and a rare Peggy-O (6th time played). Garcia takes
a different approach throughout, both refreshing and daring. The band delivers
on the crowd request for Casey Jones, and Phil sums it up at the end: "We
really appreciate it folks, you don't know how much."
Thanks to Jerry Moore for making the FOB AUD happen (see notes), Mark Cohen
for the analog > DAT transfer, Noah Weiner for the DAT > SHN/CD; Teddy Goodbear
for the SBD along with the rest of the Compendium crew, and Doug Johnson for
uploading it to abgd.
Enjoy!

Excerpt from AUD text file:
(*) Notes from Jerry Moore - June, 2003:
"Had piss poor taping seats, and was unable to negotiate better
ones. Best I was able to do was dicker with some total strangers
who were sitting reasonably close, on the left side off the
floor, if I remember. They weren't willing to trade seats, but
WERE willing to try taping it themselves in exchange for a copy.
So I crossed my fingers real hard, and handed over the rig.
They weren't at all familiar with it, but I managed to squeeze
in before the show and check in a couple of times. All things
considered, they did a pretty decent job. Some artless level
juggling, and overall levels lower than I would've run, but
better than no tape or a rotten one. The taping the weird noise
at intermission was a nicety I didn't think to mention, and they
didn't bother with. IE, no L&L recording on my tapes... I haven't
the foggiest who they were or what their names were. Never crossed
paths again."

Timeline/Tracking Notes:
The transition between all three discs can be put together seemlessly.
For track times see shntool output.
Editing Notes:
- Pitch
Both sources were pitched differently, the AUD being the flatest,
and the SBD being the sharpest. I used the SBD as my master timeline
and pitch referenced the AUD to it. The AUD on average had to be pitched
up on average about .15 (15 cents) 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. The SBD is very close though to A=440.
- Synch
Even after pitch correcting the AUD to the SBD, 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
The 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, 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 3:1 end of things.
- Edits
The following are places where the SBD had holes or incomplete coverage
in reference to the final matrix timeline. Because of digi-noise in the SBD
source (due to DAT transfers), previous editing on the SBD eliminated these
points, resulting in some sub-second sections missing which I covered with
the AUD. Also, the digi-noise sections that were left, seemed to be primarily
in the left channel, so I covered these with right channel of the SBD. There
are some digi-noise sections that I left alone because they are minor enough
to not be a distraction. I also took care of any exisiting dropouts in the SBD.
SBD:
d1t01 (0:00 - 2:38) - missing (crowd)
d1t02 (1:28:21 - 1:28:28) - missing (dropout)

d3t04 (0:00:00 - 0:01:15) - missing
AUD:
d3t04 (9:00 - 9:13) - missing (crowd)
- Recap
The AUD has full coverage. Note that alot of the missing elements from the SBD
source are just crowd segments except for the plethora of previous digi-noise
edits, and a 12 second splice in Truckin'. Other than that, the rest of the SBD
is intact.
