General Notes:
An excellent Miller SBD made this matrix very enjoyable
to do. The Wagner AUD is nice, and although distant at
first, it does improve and adds extra energy into an
already raging performance. Half-Step, Bertha> Good Lovin',
and the only Dew of '78 are highlights.

Thanks to Charlie Miller for the kind SBD, and to Bob wagner
for recording the AUD and David Minches for the transfer.

Artwork by Paul Gilbert - thanks!

Enjoy!

Editing Notes:

- Pitch/Synch
The SBD needed to be pitched up between 2 and 7 cents starting at
Friend 'O through Sunrise. For the rest of the show the SBD had to be
pitched up 10 cents. The AUD on average had to be pitched down between
-2 and -5 cents until Playin', and for the remainder of the show, the
AUD was pitched up on average 3 cents. The AUD was synched to the SBD.

- Sonic Quality/Matrix ratio
No EQ was applied to either source. Waves L2 was used to avoid square
waves, the levels rarely hitting zero. If I had to guess, the SBD/AUD
ratio would be somewhere around 3:1.

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

SBD:
s1t01 (0:00 - 0:52) - missing (crowd)
s1t01 (9:59 - 10:33) - missing (crowd)
s1t04 (7:07 - 7:25) - missing (crowd)
s1t05 (4:30 - 4:41) - missing (crowd)
s1t06 (5:17 - 6:00) - missing (crowd)
s1t08 (7:00 - 7:18) - missing (crowd)
s2t01 (0:00 - 0:39) - missing (crowd)
s2t03 (6:47 - 7:31) - missing (crowd)
s2t04 (7:28 - 7:46) - missing (crowd)
s2t08 (6:42 - 7:01) - missing
s2t10 (8:21 - 9:48) - missing (crowd)

AUD:
s1t01 (10:38 - 11:13) - missing (crowd)
s1t03 (4:28 - 4:53) - missing (crowd)
s1t07 (14:27 - 14:44) - missing (crowd)
s2t03>4 (7:53 - 0:03) - missing first few notes
s2t04 (8:31 - 9:50) - missing (crowd)
s2t07 (2:07 + 2:10) - eliminated dropouts
s2t08 (0:26 - 0:35) - missing

Note that alot of the missing elements are just crowd segments, except
for the AUD missing the first few notes of Candyman, and both sources
missing sections of NFA, thankfully not in the same place, thus full
coverage is achieved.

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file.
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files.
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be stripped,
however audio data will remain unaffected.
If you must transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use ffp to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
