This is a matrix recording using two sources, a soundboard/PA from droncit's tape collection, obtained in the early 1970s via a trade, and an audience recording (SHNID 00073)
The matrix developed by dusborne and droncit.  Contacts:  [email protected] or ??

--Set 1--
101-t1 - Bill Graham introduction -> He Was a Friend of Mine
102-t2 - Cryptical Envelopment ->
103-t3 - Drums ->
104-t4 - The Other One ->
105-t5 - Cryptical reprise
106-t6 - Doin That Rag
107-t7 - Me & My Uncle

For the reel, we added harmonics, minor eq adjustment, and used light noise reduction.  For the audience files we
used the Reel as a source and a spectral difference filter to match the overall sound of the audience to the reel.
The opening notes to cryptical sound like there are digital artifacts, but that's the way it sounds on the straight transfer.
We think it is a PA tape, not a soundboard as it appears to be mono.  We modified it to align better with the l-r distribution on the audience tape.
For the reel, we added harmonics, minor eq adjustment, and used light noise reduction.  For the audience files we
used the Reel as a source and a spectral difference filter to match the overall sound of the audience to the reel.
The Introduction is noticeably louder than it is on the audience tape so that it can be heard better.  Because it comes from
the audience tape, the sound is muffled and boomy, but it's a fun part of the show so we included it this way.
Final edits to the PA and MTX files were done separately, so they do not match exactly.

comment from original audience:
This is not a sbd. It was made with a stereo sony mic on the front
of the stage in front of the keyboards...
That is why TC is front and center and the vocals are low in the mix.
