Seastones is named s1t19 so as to keep in the order played, although there was a set break before and after this track. Tracks are named by set as opposed to disc as there are many media options now for output. ____________________________________________________________ General Notes: This show was probably one of those events for those who attended where the response afterwards was like "what the hell was that?" - in other words, not your normal Dead show, festooned with wierd sound effects, in between song banter, a Tico Tico tuning, the only Let It Rock, and the first Seastones; all of this before even the second set which starts with a Jam. The Dark Star, which is just a Dark Star jam (last one until 1991), lasts almost 18 minutes, and is one of only 6 played in '74, and the only one in '74 without vocals. Spanish Jam makes its first of 7 appearances in '74 after a 15 month hiatus. The jam into US Blues is classic, and the Casey Jones encore is 1 of 10 in '74. Two repeats from the night before, Jack Straw and Ship Of Fools, had different feels, yet I still prefer the 22nd versions. Sonically, the weird part is the beginning of the show which is a matrix from the SBD source which finally goes to straight SBD in the middle of Ramble On Rose. This first portion, which is quite phasey, was left alone and not matrixed with the AUD source due to the fact it had already been matrixed (by Healy?, real time at the show? - could this be the first matrix experiment at a Deadshow?). Also, Seastones is AUD only. Thanks to Jerry Moore for recording the AUD at such a perfect FOB location which picked up alot of Garcia's amp, thus making the matrix work well. Thanks to Noah Weiner and Mark Cohen for their conversion of Jerry Moore's masters. Thanks to Josh Belkin for mastering the SBD source, and thanks to Phil for his SBD source used as a patch in Belkin's source. Thanks to Bill Zormeir (AKA Zman) for the excellent artwork. -Enjoy! Chappy ____________________________________________________________ Editing Notes: - Pitch/Synch Both sources were very close in pitch, the SBD being the closest to A=440. I synched the AUD to the SBD and the AUD had to be pitched up only 2 to 6 cents. The alt. SBD "Phil's tape" which provides the patch in US Blues did not need to be pitch adjusted, although some EQ was applied to match the regular SBD in tone/timbre (high shelf starting at 1.5kHz +6dB). - Sonic Quality/Matrix ratio No EQ was applied to either of the two main sources. I applied very sparingly Waves L2 (limiter) to the master 2 buss to keep things contained, the levels rarely hitting zero, thus the limiting is quite scarce. All I was trying to do here is to add some dimension to the SBD by using the ambience of the AUD. The result is a lively but clear recording, hopefully close to how it sounded at the show. If I had to guess the SBD/AUD ratio would be somewhere between 3:1 and 2:1. Note that Jerry's presence in the matrix mix is enhanced greatly from the AUD due to his loud stage volume. - Edits The following are places where the SBD and AUD had splices, holes or incomplete coverage in reference to the final matrix timeline.
