notes:

- pitch correction +24 cents
- right channel gain reduced by 2 decibels
- quite a number of small dropouts have been repaired, a few clicks removed and a little surplus material
   trimmed out.
- there is possibly a splice in Mama Tried with two different sources used, sound quality changes around 0:30
   to the end of the song on the raw file.  There was noticeably more hiss in the first part.
- Good Lovin'(part 1) fades in.
- there appears to be a cut in Lovelight around 12:16, hardly anything missing though!  This is also present in
   the other circulating source.

SBD2 (shnid = 122)
The lineage of these files is:
Main:  S:R?D
Dub:   S:RPD
Both DATs were downsampled into my computer via ZA2 (48>44.1)

The Main tape sounds much better than the dub - which is only used for 1.1
seconds (want to find it?  Listen to the last time the guys say "the blues"
in Bobbi McGee)

Given the differences in the reel flip (at the end of lovelight)
I would guess that the 'Main' tape represents a separate A>D transfer than
the 'Dub' tape.  If you know more, I'd love to hear about it.

This tape is NOT an A+, healy master to DAT, multi-track remix, 96bit A>D
conversion.  This is from a reel made in 1971, so you will hear some rough
bits.  To the best of my knowledge, this transfer represents the best
circulating copy in existence.

19) 16 minutes into Turn On Your Lovelight, 17.800 seconds were missing from the SBD1 and was filled in with the audio from the MOTB AUD.

20) NOTE: The MOTB Audience came in 24/96 format and the Sir Mick SBD also came in 24/96 format so this is probably the only true 24 bit matrix to date. The Nayfield SBD came in 16/44 and was upsampled using RBrain Pro - this was for Bertha only. After matrix was mixed, R8Brain Pro was used to reduce matrix to cd compatible 16/44. The individual AUD and SBD files were reduced to 16/44 using RBrain Pro to be used to create the DTS files.

21) Matrix\DTS were synced using the the MOTB as a reference. The Sir Mick SBD was extremely fast in comparison averaging 102.5 in adobe audition or approx 2 seconds per minute fast. When compared to the only other circulating sbd, the MOTB matched almost exactly.

22) Mixing comment - both the sbd and aud had extremely hot vocals which considering how this show highlights Pig Pen is a wonderful thing. I chose to emphasis the audience a little more than the sbd as the energy of show came out more in the audience.

As Matt Vernom commented:
"this was my 1st "Live" gd show.  I was sitting on the stage (~4 foot raised platform and only person from the audience to do so) directly in front of Phil's mic stand.  I was 2-3 people stage right of Bob and Barbara who were standing against the stage.

No time to give the full details, but it was my most memorable gd show regarding energy."

I hope this matrix helps capture that energy while retaining the clear notes and cymbals from the soundboard.

More On DTS

Today's audio standards are moving towards multi-channel
sound, like DTS and Dolby Digital. While the Audio-CD
standard (Red Book) hasn't changed to accommodate these
new sound formats, it is still possible to go around the
specification and to put a 5.1 surround recording on a
regular Audio-CD. To play a DTS-Audio-CD you must connect
your DVD/CD player via a digital cable (optical or coaxial)
to your DTS Dolby-Digital receiver. It is not 100% sure
that your receiver will recognize a DTS-Audio CD, so the
first time you're trying to playback a DTS-Audio-CD you
must do a test to determine if it can. Begin with the
volume very low, start the disc and raise the volume
gradually. NEVER listen to a DTS-Audio-CD through the
analog audio outputs of your CD/DVD player.

Burning Instructions

Burn them the absolute same way as you would burn any
normal Audio-CD from FLAC files.
