[There were unusual, minuscule cuts between the tracks, generally less than one second each, that were patched with the #150455 Seamons matrix source. One larger cut was patched during Space, and it was decided that the entire Space track would use the #150455 matrix instead.]

Notes:

After much consideration with the help of David Beckwith, we decided the best two sounding SBD sources for this matrix project were Miller's older #137081 cassette master transfer for set 1 and the unknown #31953 cassette source for set 2. I also matrixed entirely an all-digital second set, #150455 (8/1/20), with the Miller #137081 DAT beforehand, but it just sounded slightly sterile or duller compared to the first set matrix. The #31953 source, which seemed to improve things and sounded better (to our ears) than the new Miller #149622 cassette transfer, might have been EQ'd or is just a more optimal transfer for whatever reason. Maybe it was just a better quality cassette tape for the 2005 transfer.

Clicks removed in Sugaree and Reuben And Cherise using Soundtrack Pro.

The first set cassette source generally ran between 1.5% and 2.0% fast and was pitch corrected.

Several instances of static occur, mostly during Space. One occurrence in Crazy Fingers was reduced.

Great audience energy during Uncle John's Band!

Mystical cowbell/beam action towards end of Drums!
