The result is an interesting matrix, with the vocals a little hot in the overall outcome - typical of this era's SBD mixes, although that's irrelevant when you're deep in the Dark Star. One of the things I like about the resulting matrix is the ability to bring back that amphitheater sound. Many people were yipping and whooping in between songs just to hear their own echo. Check out these comments from DeadBase: "On Saturday night, one of the crew lit a fireworks fountain up on one of the PA towers creating a moment of panic for some folks who thought it was an electrical fire but Garcia calmed 'em down with a simple, 'Don't panic folks, this is the movies - remember..'. "In an interesting footnote to these shows, the official Grand Opening of this brand new venue on the Universal Studios backlot was the following weekend with a week-long series of Frank Sinatra shows but the Dead gave it a real shakedown acid test first." A review from the LLama: "The Playin is typically great for 1973, and the Dark Star>Eyes>Stella Blue combination puts this one over the top for me. Very unique jams. And BTW, the Wall of Sound seems to work pretty well tonight. Nice quality. An overlooked show that will knock you out!" - Dr. Flashback Thanks to A. Jerugim for the SBD, and Noah Weiner for the A>D transfer of the AUD as well as all the folks involved with the Audience Devotional Tree. Enjoy!

I tracked this show so that disc 3 contains the entire second set. It would be possible to edit out 40 seconds of crowd/tuning from the first set and burn a 90 minute CDR. Editing Notes: - Pitch Both sources were pitched differently, the AUD being the sharpest, and the SBD being the flatest. The AUD on average had to be pitched down on average about .05 (5 cents), and the SBD had to be pitched up about .15 (15 cents) to achieve pitch correction - 1.00 being 100 cents which is a semitone. The result is very close to A=440Hz, however there is some fluctuation throughout the show due to the age of the recordings. - Synch Even after pitch correcting the AUD and the SBD, because of the speed fluctuation within a given source, multiple edits were performed to keep the sources synched (too many edits to list). - Sonic Quality/Matrix ratio The AUD did receive a little EQ to revive some of the high end that was lost to previously employed NR. The SBD remained untouched sonically. 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. SBD: d1t02 (5:16 - 5:27) - missing (crowd) d1t04 (7:33 - 7:37) - missing (crowd) d1t05 (7:07 - 7:10) - missing (crowd) d1t06 (7:43 - 8:57) - missing d1t06 (10:03 - 10:07) - missing (crowd) d1t07 (5:28 - 5:34) - missing (crowd) d1t09 (8:07 - 8:16) - missing (crowd) d2t01 (4:47 - 6:12) - missing (crowd) d2t02 (0:00 - 0:02) - missing d2t02 (4:40 - 4:46) - missing (crowd) d2t03 (0:00 - 0:03) - missing d2t03 (3:17 - 3:22) - missing (crowd) d2t04 (8:53 - 8:59) - missing (crowd) d2t05 (14:52 - 14:56) - missing (crowd) d3t01 (0:00 - 0:03) - missing d3t01 (5:03 - 5:43) - missing (crowd) d3t02 (6:13 - 8:13) - missing (crowd) d3t03 (4:15 - 4:51) - missing (crowd) d3t04>d3t05 (16:16 - 0:07) - missing d3t05 (11:39:21 - 11:39:39) - missing d3t06 (8:06 - 9:15) - missing (crowd) d3t07 (9:04 - 9:13) - missing (crowd) AUD: d1t01 (0:00 - 0:10) - missing d1t01 (3:04 - 3:06) - missing (crowd) d1t02 (5:27 - 5:32) - missing (crowd) d1t06 (10:07 - 10:09) - missing (crowd) d2t01 (3:33 - 3:52) - missing d2t05 (10:29 - 10:46) - missing d3t04 (6:23 - 6:42) - missing d3t06 (0:37 - 0:47) - missing - Recap Full coverage was achieved by combining both sources. The most significant pieces missing from the SBD are 1:14 in the middle of Birdsong, and 20 seconds of the transition from Dark Star > Eyes, both likely due to reel changes. The rest is tuning/crowd and a few clipped intros. All of it is covered nicely by the AUD. The missing elements from the AUD are also likely due to reel changes, and are not that noticeable, although I encourage the avid listener to locate those points so as to hear the matrix coming back in - this will reveal the effect of the combination of the two sources. ________________________________________________________________________ FLAC Fingerprint: gd73-06-30d1t01.flac:2f97a52a9b7a848d79b745d2a0756dd8 gd73-06-30d1t02.flac:1df359f6c6a8741fb4ada993b7baf49e gd73-06-30d1t03.flac:e6802ac21b718cfabf992b34badf3faa gd73-06-30d1t04.flac:8cba70c3491721ad58688ff8f5bef8ce gd73-06-30d1t05.flac:3646bc42d1eaa66fa6928adc6358a430 gd73-06-30d1t06.flac:11ae46caf843e5b69ce009e6c513a588 gd73-06-30d1t07.flac:dcf1348c77798341a9429d5814d80bce gd73-06-30d1t08.flac:2682ff3893a8a0440fc0a610aedd92bd gd73-06-30d1t09.flac:5776f125331910682eb1207a437fd874 gd73-06-30d2t01.flac:2a5ea9eb5e106bce39b47a1ece1cb01b gd73-06-30d2t02.flac:9100c2ba7efcd7b16842b8f1bd5061aa gd73-06-30d2t03.flac:fc47aa6d405658ae64ed1097ea7ae28d gd73-06-30d2t04.flac:1cd11cd75c88cfb045029db000fb89fb gd73-06-30d2t05.flac:96ceb08aea116603d213653fc9ad9aaf gd73-06-30d3t01.flac:298b45347975ad6f26331b1066f3d29a gd73-06-30d3t02.flac:b838c24b74abb4540d4bc4d7112b800b gd73-06-30d3t03.flac:8889a5bea6994a0dcb7880ff25f17485 gd73-06-30d3t04.flac:14c6efea94bf4ccc65b9641a41ccfc01 gd73-06-30d3t05.flac:24d739358ab7fc1376eeaa82684d5362 gd73-06-30d3t06.flac:d9c98ba2d07f95ff3348135920a4e04f gd73-06-30d3t07.flac:9ad715216db0400fe77219d3f60a3bab gd73-06-30d3t08.flac:ce6388ce84120df18adbe0ea92c37b86 ________________________________________________________________________ AUD source notes: Audience Devotional Tree Round 6 - November, 2001 GRATEFUL DEAD Saturday, June 30, 1973 Universal Amphitheatre - Universal City, CA Audience Recording AudMR > R > DAT > WAV > SHN Reel labeled: through the Debbie connection: P.A.
