NoteGeneral Notes:

I just couldn't resist trying the combo of a Betty board with a Jerry
Moore AUD, especially given the intimate atmosphere of the Bottom Line,
a small venue in the Village, and sure enough the positive/negative mesh
effect of the matrix worked wonders. Garcia and Fierro's tone both
improve, while Suanders is more balanced in the mix. Jerry's vocals are
now also more present, and the rhythm section doesn't predominate the
mix as on the SBD.

This is the entire early show, and it would seem that Moore did not record
the late show. There are some tunes on the Betty reels from the late show,
but apparently reels 3 and 5 are missing (thus no SBD for Dixie Down).
Jerry is on from the start with his comping during Martin's solo in Think
being very spirited and tasty. The Dynamite and TWLWMYD are both great.
Mississippi Moon has a nice living room feel, and the Harder They Come runs
almost 22 mins. What I like about this matrix is that you hear the band
for how they really sounded - I've had some great BBDs and SBDs of LOM
shows throughout the years, but Fierro's tone was always shrill and Jerry
was never that loud - not so here - the mix is nice and balanced with all
members well represented. What a band!! Having never seen them, it's
like hearing them for the first time.

Thanks to Jerry Moore for recording this show and especially those
involved with the Moore's Masters Productions like David Minches and Joe
Jupille. Thanks to Betty Cantor for recording the SBD, and thanks to
David Barfield for seeding it to bt.etree.org last year.
Thanks to Bill Zormeir (aka Zman) for doing the cover art.

Enjoy!

Matrix: Both sources were downloaded FLACs/SHNs > WAV > Vegas 5 > WAV > CD Wave > FLAC 16 (level 8) Edited, mixed and converted by Chris Chappell scarfireATliquidcityDOTcom 4/10/06 Editing Notes: - Pitch/speed/channels Both sources were pitched differently, the AUD being the closest to A=440. The SBD had to be pitched or slowed down between -.19 (19 cents) and -.26 (26 cents). This is about a quarter of a semitone (100 cents) difference. The SBD also had to have its channels swapped to mimic the stereo image of the AUD. - Synch Because of the speed fluctuation within a given source, multiple edits were performed to keep the sources synched (too many edits to list). The AUD was the master and the SBD was synched to it. - Sonic Quality/Matrix ratio The only dynamic processing I employed was Waves L2 (limiter) to the master 2 buss to keep things contained. 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 hopefully close to how it sounded at the show. If I had to guess, the SBD/AUD ratio would be somewhere around 2:1 for most of the set except for the quieter numbers where the ratio is probably closer to 1:1. - Edits The following are places where the SBD and AUD had splices, holes or incomplete coverage in reference to the final matrix timeline. SBD: d1t01 (0:00 - 1:43) - missing (crowd) d1t02 (6:13 + 6:14) - static removed d1t04 (6:29 - 6:33) - missing d1t04 (11:20 - 12:11) - missing (crowd) d2t01 (21:33 - 23:55) - missing (crowd) d2t02 (0:00 - 9:20) - missing all AUD: d1t03 (0:25) - static removed d1t03 (2:03) - static removed (other static points left alone) d1t06 (12:19 - 12:55) - missing (crowd) Note that a lot of the audio missing from the SBD is crowd noise from in between songs. Where there is music missing from either source, the other source covers those holes, thus full coverage has been achieved. The only major missing piece in the reels (#3).
