Notes:

1) There is occasional static, particularly during the earlier portion of set 1.

2) AUD cuts during songs are as follows:
1. Bertha (Not used for matrixing due to a poor mono sound)
2. Bird Song (8 patches throughout; see note #3)
3. The Race is On (0:01-0:23; see note #3)
4. China Cat Sunflower (entire song)
5. I Know You Rider (2:01 - 3:12; see note #3)
6. Playing in the Band (14:38-15:01)
7. El Paso (entire song)
8. Nobody's Fault But Mine Jam (1:56-2:34)
9. Sugar Magnolia (3:23-4:58)

3) Because the shnid=85957 SBD patches sounded "not so good" with the AUD, and fluctuated in speed from the PCM source, no matrixing was done with the 85957 SBD patches. (Be very patient with the 16 warbly transitions in Bird Song. Such a shame for one of the best Bird Songs ever - surely the best of '73.)

4) Seemingly, the AUD opens up more for Mexicali Blues onward - more field range? - wherein the matrix becomes optimal, yet it seems to get even more optimal as the show progresses. (Dead shows can have that tendency.)

5) There is a noticeable shift in tone in the Nobody's Fault But Mine Jam (0:31), and a brief warble, when the SBD track shifts to the second major SBD source used. I fade out the AUD for a moment to regain momentum.

6) I preferred leaving some extended SBD segments between songs (without AUD available) in for timing and/or break purposes.

7) There is some belief, as indicated in several reviews below, that the AUD is a matrix. I do not believe so, but maybe this just happens to be a double matrix source!

8) These were pretty cutty sources for a matrix, but it's 1973, so...At least you can compare the sources some in your four hours of listening pleasure.

9) There's a "Long live the Grateful Dead!" cheer in the SBD right before the matrix kicks in for Black Peter.
