Show Notes:
-- **with Ken Kesey on harmonica
-- Seamless transition between discs 2 and 3.
-- This second set is incredible!!!

Matrix Notes:

1)The the right channel of the Glassberg AUD was increased 4 dB. The audio channels were uneven.

2)The Glassberg source (the preferred source for this matrix) appears to contain 2 AUD sources in it. Towards the end of Drums there is a cut in the AUD; after the cut, a strikingly different sounding AUD is patched into the source. The quality of this “other” source was pretty bad, with some bass overload. Very luckily, Jim Wise's AUD was available and sounds just as good as Glassberg's, so I used it from that section in Drums onward to the end of the show. The audience happens to be a little more “defined” in Wise's source, but I ultimately prefer Glassberg's AUD for its richer tonal quality. So, there is a “complementary” shift in sound during Drums, but it sounds pretty much the same and is all good.

3)There were cuts in the AUD and SBD. Significantly, there were cuts in the SBD during Jack Straw (first few seconds), Shakedown Street (first 2:08 of track), Playing in the Band (8:33-9:41), and Sugar Magnolia (last few seconds of song).

4)There were some wacky fluctuations in the SBD mix during the earlier portion of Set 1. There will be moments of extra hiss, changes in vocal and guitar sound, sounds levels, etc. Some of it may be some exciting pedal work by Garcia, but this has not been verified.

5)Enjoy at high volume.

Notes:

1) While not the most ideal AUD on its own, Glassberg's source complemented the SBD best (consistent with the 05-08-81 matrix), and Eaton's AUD is used only for patches in the SBD. In these cases, only Eaton's source plays.

2) There was more tape hiss in the SBD source, it seems, than the previous night, especially during the first two minutes of Half-Step.

3) After the cut in the SBD during Eyes, the overall quality of the SBD is slightly diminished. One glaring difference is that not all of the drum pieces are as fully present. I noticed the high-hat (or one of them) is not present in the SBD any more, but is very audible in the AUD, so the AUD helps fill all instrumentation that is lacking in the SBD. Weird stuff.

4) As always - enjoy!


New notes on 2/12/12:

On July 12, 2008, at 4:45 PM, Dr. Rob Bertrando informed me that the speed of this matrix (or SBD) was running about 20 cents fast (1.2%). On February 12, 2012, I took Bertrando seriously and made the appropriate adjustment.
