Notes:

Heavy SBD mix fluctuations during Shakedown Street, mostly for the first five minutes. A very loud section near the beginning was reduced.

Smooth transitions were applied to the AUD cuts between songs, and level adjustments were made throughout the matrix as usual to achieve balance.

Songs were EQ'd differently to maintain a consistent, palatable sound. High end frequencies were softened to be similar to the 7/22 matrix EQ last year.

Slightly different EQ settings were applied to the SBD tracks as needed using a 31 band equalizer - a little more thorough work than on 7/22, and a touch less high end overall:

A: Shakedown [-2244]
B: Rooster, China Cat, I Know You Rider, Cold Rain And Snow [-3466]
C: Althea, Me And My Uncle, Mexicali [-4588]
D: Looks Like Rain, Might As Well, Far From Me, Truckin', Eyes, Drums [-4566]
E: Space, Other One, Around And Around, Saturday Night, Touch [-2366]
F: Stella Blue [-2477]
