Notes:

The SBD was pitch corrected slower -0.5% through Little Red Rooster, then -0.3% through the end of set one. No pitch correction needed for set two.

A 4-second cut in Althea, a 44-second cut during Space, and a 4-second cut during Spanish Jam in the SBD source are now patched.

The Executive Crew (Kyle Holbrook, Chris Kidwell and Tom Pinney) AUD source (#143000, 8/24/18) provides a partial 0:28 patch of the song break before Hell In A Bucket.

There were some initial mix fluctuations and a more brittle sound in the SBD source during Bertha, particularly before Phil's bass kicks in. There's also a subtle warbly, watery sound in the SBD source at times early on (during Bertha, Promised Land, and Hell In A Bucket mostly), which can sometimes be detected in the PA as well in the AUD source. Nothing major or frequent.

After significant improvement with Friend Of The Devil, the sound becomes optimal and more balanced around Little Red Rooster - really good outdoor sound on this one, approaching Frost '82 style.

Some very light EQ was used for most of the show to address two particular high end frequencies. The sound dynamics of the SBD source changed significantly for the first half of the second set, with a little more muffled sound and noticeably less bass response through Women Are Smarter. We did some mild compensatory EQ by adding decibels to select bass frequencies in an organic way for this section, then a little less in two subsequent sections as the bass returned more during the set, closer to how it sounds in set 1. We left the high end untouched here, and the normal treble returns soon after the cut in Space (closer to how it sounds in set 1). This source appeared more welcoming to significant bass adjustments (in set 2), while other recordings are often more sensitive to increases, becoming too heavy very quickly, and are better left untouched. Some additional EQ was used for the AUD source in set two only.

There are some moments of heavy buzzing or crackling in the sound system during Women Are Smarter and U.S. Blues.

A couple clicks were removed during Spanish Jam.

Bobby sings "One more Labor Day night" during One More Saturday Night. He also humorously slips in "One more Latter-day night" (at 3:27 and 3:56, for example), referring to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, of which its headquarters is located in nearby Salt Lake City.

A very lush, bright, crisp, and airy sound for this one, with plenty of robust bass. A unique sounding, quality outdoor matrix thanks to the excellent sources!

==========================================================================================
Executive Crew tour story from Kyle Holbrook:

The drive to Park Cities was amazing, coming out of Idaho down the mountains across the lake then into Salt Lake City and back up the mountains to Park Cities. We had been driving all night having stayed in Boise until they kicked us out of our room thus arriving in Park Cities early in the morning; too early for most check ins. Then we noted there was really only 2-3 hotels and zero motels on the ski area proper, one of them being the Hilton resort complex. So Tom hung around the lobby a bit and somehow secured us a room for check in later that day. We were killing time in the lobby and what not (two cars full-6-7 people) when I (briefly) met Phil Lesh for the second time. He was hanging in the phone bank area (google "phone bank" young uns) and had some young woman hanging all over him being obnoxiously loud and when I hung up I just looked him in the eye and said, "Phil, I'm digging the six string". He looked at me, smiled, said to the woman, "Perhaps you should be more circumspect" and gave me a thank you look with a semi wink as he strode away.

This would have been the first time I ever stayed at a mountain resort type place and it was a bunch of fun with the entire place being taken over by heads. We were so close to the venue and were able to have enough room in the suite for all of us and to get some laundry done etc. It was our first time in a nice place all tour and just relaxing there was worth it. The next morning Chris and I got in line early in order to secure a great taping location. We were in the mountain sun for almost 2 hours waiting then once in had secured a perfect spot, about 20 feet in front of the soundboard. We had a blanket out with enough space for our crew and took turns waiting out in the blazing sun while the others would seek shade. Chris brought a camera on the trip and two of his shots I kept all these years are in the fileset. One of Jerry with Utah Dead in the background and one of Bobby. This was a spectacular day, bright and sunny with perfect mountain temperatures.

The show was a hill blazer. The Friend Of the Devil had Jerry singing in his sweet high pitched tones with Brent accompanying on electric piano. The Althea-> Hell In A Bucket -> China Cat Sunflower-> I Know You Rider first set closers are the highlights for me, even after all these years. I used to burn through car tapes of this show, and although I don't consider it in the very best of what we made, I do like the combination of setlist and recording quality. The Ultrasound Meyer PA, the steepness of the hill and the new tonalities Phil was finding with the six string bass were truly contributing factors as to why this one sounds as good as it does. The Wheel melting into the Other One is so fine!

Onward we went toward Colorado and the highly anticipated run at Red Rocks State Park and amphitheater.
