After experimenting with the China>Rider, it was obvious that the power conveyed in the blending of the two sources would justify matrixing an already crisp sounding betty board. The energy back then was really amazing - so strong, and the sound... vintage. Both sources are mono, but in no way does this detract from the final result, if anything, it minimized the phase issues inherent in making a post-show matrix. Some mono purists believed that hi-fidelity went out the window with the introduction of stereo. I'm not saying I agree, but after this editing exercise, I can appreciate more where they are coming from. The SBD does not appear to be the FOH mix, as the vocals in the beginning of certain songs (Bertha, Dark Hollow) are missing or very low in the SBD source, but easily heard in the AUD source. This would suggest a monitor mix, but most likely some AUX split off the house SBD, made and monitored especially for recording. The resulting matrix at least allows you to hear the vocals in these sections albeit not at the desired level in the mix. This is the first show without Mickey, which Bobby alludes to at some point, saying that he is not feeling well. Bobby is also responsible for the tuning at the beginning of the show (Merry-Go-Round Broke Down?) as well as a Rawhide tease at the end of Smokestack. Bird Song and Deal are played for the first time in concert (breakout); Loser, Bertha, Playin', Greatest and Wharf Rat for the 2nd time ever, but this show is really about Pig. Smokestack is #2 of 5 played in '71 with only one more Pig version after that (3-25-72), and it's 14:40 in length. Combine that with one of the best versions of Easy Wind, an 18:37 version of Good Lovin, and a Hurts Me Too to boot, and you've got a finger lickin' Pig Pen pickin'. This show was not easy to matrix, but in the end it was well worth it. The speed fluctuation in the old reel to reels, even in as short amount of time as 20 seconds, added to the task with constant synch edits, but the minimal phase from the combination of two mono sources made the editing a little easier. -------Reviews from the LlaMA: "This show sneaks up behind you, taps you on the shoulder and then steals your face! Sure, there are some "garage band moments" here and there, but overall, they play like they were recording it for an album (heh,heh ....they were actually) and with the passage of time, this night still stands out as well played, and also as having that ineffable X factor magic, not only with the songs, but also in the synergy of the band interaction with the crowd. Maybe it was because this was the first show without Mickey and they were trying harder. Or maybe it was the bomb scares they had during this run. Whatever the reason, Jerry chose tonight to debut Deal and Bird Song, say no more, wink wink, nudge nudge." "Pig fans will undoubtedly prefer this show... But for me the highlight of the entire show is the Know You Rider. In this period (winter 70-71 through spring 71) the tune achieved its canonical form. It seems that with each performance, in the second and final solo, Jerry was having a musical |
