General notes:

Of course I frequed when I saw Charlie's SBD seeds of both Hollywood
Palladium shows.  Recent fresh Apogee A/D transfers of Harvey Kaslow's
classic AUDs by Matt Smith (instigated by Dr. Bertrando perhaps?) set 
the stage for a matrix.  The two sources compliment each other nicely,
although both sources sound great on their own, so this is by no means 
a rescue mission (except for the Sugar Mags), but just another shnid 
to file away, or play loudly if that's your thing.

This show contains the 3rd performances ever of Mr. Charlie and Sugaree. 

Editing Notes:

- Pitch/Synch
The SBD source is pretty close in pitch, so I decided to use it as my 
master pitch/synch ref. Note that d2t03 (Sugar Mags, which had major pitch
issues - basically it starts out almost a half step flat and ends up more
than a half step sharp) through the end of show is AUD only. 

AUD Pitch adjustment ranges:
d1t01 > d1t05: +21 to +25 cents
d1t06 > d1t08: -1 to -8 cents
d1t09 > d1t10: +44 to +48 cents
d2t01        : +33 to +37 cents
d2t02(diff. reel): +12 to -106 cents - major pitch issues (beware of mtx)
d2t03 (shnid=88859): +85 to -108 cents - pitch adjusted (much better now)
d2t04 > d2t05: (back to shnid=94260) - no pitch adjustment
d2t06        : +38 cents

- Dynamics
No EQ or NR was applied to any of these sources.  I applied very sparingly
Waves L2 (limiter@ -0.4) to the master 2 buss to keep all sources contained, 
the levels rarely hitting zero, thus the limiting is quite scarce. 

- Envelope Edits
The following are places where the SBD and AUDs had splices, holes or
incomplete coverage in reference to the final matrix timeline. 

SBD:
d2t03 > d2t06 - missing

AUD:
d1t01 (00:00 - 00:07) - crowd
d1t05 (06:45 - 08:44) - tuning
d1t06 (05:37 - 08:51) - tuning
d1t07 (10:18 - 10:39) - missing
d2t04  - cuts in at the 2nd verse

ALT AUD:
d2t03 (5:01 - ?:??) - missing (cuts at Sunshine Daydream)

Many thanks to all involved in the making of these recordings:
Rex Jackson for recording the SBD and Charlie Miller for editing and getting
it out there.  Thanks to Harvey Kaslow and Craig Todd for making the wonderful 
AUD recording, Matt Smith for the A/D transfer and Will Boswell, Rob Bertrando 
and Charlie Miller for their parts in making the AUDs available.  
Special Thanks goes out to those at the Mastering Plant who were involved 
and anyone who was responsible in the surfacing of the SBD - you rock!

Enjoy,
Chappy
