I did a test on a portion of Dark Star and nearly lost my mind when first hearing the combination. The SBD is excellent in quality although it lacks a little low end made up by the source 1 AUD which is quite nice for the "outside" sections of Dark Star. The source 2 AUD covers the end of St. Stephen through Lovelight, and the crowd interaction with Pig Pen is really amazing, something you just don't get with a soundboard recording. Worthy of noting (not captured in the tracking notes) are the following events: - d3t01 Feelin' Groovy Jam @ 16:09 - 17:35 - d3t07 Let It Rock riff @ 13:52 - d3t07 Pig Pen "let's fuck" @ 10:50 and "fuck!" @ 20:19 - d3t09 Pig Pen "Why don't you guys go home and fuck somebody" @ 0:16 Aside from the incredible Dark Star (with a prominent guiro in the mix), the NFA jams are really intense with Garcia and Weir totally going at it, at one point playing the same China Cat lick at the same time. The loony Lovelight is just that, with Pig imploring people from the crowd to say something into the mic, and one guy yells "hey, let's ball in the moonlight" (9:35) - the band on fire as they follow Pig through his crazy Saturday night rant in NYC. The band is so blown out (Garcia's hand gets a cramp and Bobby loses his voice) that they can't do an encore. No matter, this shit simply smokes. Ironically, this show was pretty easy to synch, with the pitch of both AUDs and the SBD being relatively close to each other. What posed more of a challenge was the multiple recording level changes in the Source 1 AUD which I tried to smooth out, mostly sucessfully. Also helping matters is Bear's SBD mix which is spot on, plus the quality is great, I just added some Fillmore ambience from the awesome AUD recordings, the result hopefully close to what is what like at the show - I wouldn't know, I had just turned 4. -------Reviews from the LlaMA: "Best dark star + lovelight. Pigpen is perfect. Best Dark Star for 1970. Pigpen's rap is so great in Lovelight. My favorite pre 1972 show." "The NFA>Darkness>China Cat Jam>NFA is ridiculous. I listen pretty seriously to this stuff (70-79) and I would put this up there with the top ten sets of the era." "This is one of the most beautiful transluscent Dark Stars ever played. The quiet passages are simply amazing. I can't believe this was performed live on a stage in front of an audience. It has such an intimacy to it." "On this night, something extra seemed to be in the air. Was it the fact that Jimi Hendrix had been found dead the night before (with Janis short to follow)? Something pursuaded the dead that night in NY, and the emotions were bold as love." -------Credits: Thanks to Seth Kaplan for the excellent SBD extraction & conversion. Thanks to Jack Toner and Marty Weinberg for their AUD recordings, and to Dwight Holmes and Steven Martin for their respective A>D conversions. Thanks to Dr. Michael Parrish for providing the Weinberg/Martin source. Thanks to Jack Warner for the editing, assembly and conversion of the AUDs. And, of course, thanks to the LlaMA for making this all possible. Front Cover found at: http://www.geocities.com/deadpieshop/ All other art and layout by yours truly. Enjoy!

I used the SBD as my master timeline and pitch referenced the AUDs to it. Source 2 AUD was closer in pitch to the SBD than Source 1 AUD, but both were never off more than a couple of cents. - Synch 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 No EQ was applied to either of the three sources. There is some low end distortion present in Source 1 AUD, and where it was noticeable (because of multiple level changes by the recordist) I used the volume envelope to diminish these sections (very few) so that the distortion is barely noticeable. However, I didn't want to edit out these sections completely or I would have lost the matrix, that being more noticeable than anything else. The key was to keep the listening experience realistic. I applied Waves L2 (limiter) to the master 2 buss to keep things contained, the levels rarely hitting zero, thus the limiting is quite scarce. All I was trying to do here is to add some dimension to the SBD 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 4:1 and 3:1. - Edits The following are places where the SBD and AUD had splices, holes or incomplete coverage in reference to the final matrix timeline. SBD: d3t01 (0:00 - 0:06) - missing (crowd) d3t07 (18:08 - 18:32) - left channel loses about 10db - left intact AUD: d3t02 (5:44:52 - 5:45:16) - dropout (used volume envelope to smooth out) d3t03 (0:32:11 - 0:32:29) - dropout (used volume envelope to smooth out) d3t07 (2:38 - 2:50) - missing (reel change) d3t07 (18:48:37 - 18:48:40) - mic was bumped (used volume envelope) d3t07 (20:28 - 22:08) - missing (crowd) d3t08 missing (crowd and Youngbloods) d3t10 missing (crowd and Youngbloods) Note that alot of the missing elements from the SBD or the AUD source are just crowd segments except for a reel change from the Source 2 AUD, thus full coverage is achieved (for this portion of the show). ___________________________________________________________________ SBD text file: Grateful Dead 9/19/70 Fillmore East New York, NY One Disc Source info: S:MSR > DAT > CD or SBD>Rm>Reel>Dat>Sonic Solutions>CD 1. //Sugar Magnolia > Tuning (02:16) 2.
