Notes:

AUD-only for first 2:53 of Alabama Getaway.

Clicks and static occurrences removed or reduced: 2 in Alabama Getaway, 1 in Dire Wolf, 4 in Hell In A Bucket, 5 in West LA Fadeaway, 1 in Me And My Uncle, 2 in Mexicali Blues, 7 in Althea, 1 in CC Rider, 1 in Help On The Way, 7 in Franklin's Tower, 6 in Let It Grow, 4 in He's Gone, 2 in Space, 8 in Wang Dang Doodle, 1 in Morning Dew.

Some anomalies remain after clean-up, mostly static from the sound system, in an otherwise great sounding SBD source. The minor analog noise in Althea (2nd occurrence) was reduced significantly. The Wang Dang Doodle PA noise was softened slightly. More frequent faint clicks occur during Space.

One section of SBD dead air was trimmed out, between Bucket and West LA.

Slightly more EQ work after West LA and Space due to sonic changes, then relatively much less EQ after Althea and the Wang Dang Doodle cut in the SBD - these adjustments were the same for both sets, so there are basically "A", "B" and "C" EQ settings applied to each set. (Typical subtle EQ work for these tapes, usually gently adjusting the high and/or low ends [in this case the high] to be more sonically palatable, done more to "fix" than "enhance" the sound. Mixing two sources together often requires compensatory EQ, where one or both sources are EQ'd. 31 band equalizer used.)

#143081, recorded by Executive Crew Chris Kidwell, Tom Pinney and Sean Murtha (transferred by Kyle Holbrook), patches the tail end of Might As Well to preserve the audience applause. #141025, billydee's tape (Larry Sellers & the Philly Crew transfer via Joe Noel), appears to be patched out of the Executive Crew's Beyerdynamic M201 mic rig and patches 20 seconds of the beginning of Let It Grow (missing from #143081). 5 second dropouts in Space and Sugar Magnolia were also patched. 15 seconds were missing from Let It Grow in the SBD source.

Bryant's excellent audience tape was the most optimal for this matrix and adds some nice full, clean bass response. He also recorded 9/10, yet billydee's tape (Beyerdynamic 180's) still seems better sounding for that particular matrix.
