Subject: Wow!
What a run! Just when I thought it couldn't get any better (6/22). This show smokes! I love this era...Long Live The Wolf.

Reviewer: t.coffren - - August 3, 2009
Subject: Fantastic
The show is really entertaining and just great vocally. A great show to just relax to as everyone seems to be firing on all cylinders. Some of the breaks between songs are slightly odd but completely worth it. Seastones is fun and its a power packed show. God bless the matrix!!!!!!! Thanks to you matrix dudes and dudettes!

Subject: ACE back to back double down on this black jack
If I had an ace for... ramble on take me home. I wish I could go home>!!?! It is good to see the boys on something that reminds..(double space) you of a show or a fire you had with some friends back home when so far away. It is all relative so someone said.

I'm a pilgrim on the edge
On the edge of my perception
We Are travelers at the edge
We are always
At the EDGE OF OUR PERCEPTION

That fat man lives to cut the skinny in our lives

pun intended

!wow---> 'Matrix' Soundboard/Audience Mix <---wow!

This is the "Best Sounding" copy of this show on the IA!

Chris Chappell is an artist, it's an Audio Masterpiece!

These "Matrix" shows really are more "livelier" and "dimensional" than a plain soundboard.

I think they sound better than a plain board, they sound more like a "live show"; it's really very enjoyable, nice job.

A fine balance of the energy of the crowd mixed with the clarity of a soundboard. Combined like a Cocktail that puts you in the mood with one shot.

The Dragon eating its tail sonically speaking.

The GRATEFUL DEAD playing to the audience, the audience responding to the GRATEFUL DEAD.

I highly recommend adding this show to your 1974 GRATEFUL DEAD collection.

Eat, Drink, Be Merry and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD.

Thanks for the LOVE from 1974.

PS: It's pure genius mixing sound board and audience tapes, keep up the good work, we are proud of you guys. I love that 'Matrix Sound'.

Subject: Far better shows ??
Also Love The Band Said: "The music was solid, but there were too many long breaks without Dead!!! There are far better shows from 74 than this one."

Are you joking?? I'm not saying that there aren't any other better shows in'74, but ones that are "far better" seems a ridiculous statement. I think '74 was one of the best years and this show is typical of that year.

Subject: files?
Irvine 1984 and this show and probably others are missing the songs' flac or shn files for download. The checksums are available but where's downloadable sound files? Thank you, Timdawg42

The music was solid, but there were too many long breaks without Dead!!! There are far better shows from 74 than this one.

Subject: matrix mix kicks but
These matrix mixes are the bomb. The show is a 5 star show for sure. Let it Rock rolls and flows. You guys who got to see the Dead at this time were super lucky. My first show was Alpine 1984. Not to shabby but out of the 250 plus shows I saw...this blows away every show i saw by a country mile. And I saw Hampton 89 yada yada yada. Anyway, the Uncle Johns actually has good harmonies.WOW!Thanks to whomever is doing this killer job of mixing AUD. with SBD. Please keep it up.

_____________________________
End disc 1 after To Lay Me Down and end disc 2 after Around & Around. Seastones
is named s1t19 so as to keep in the order played, although there was a set break
before and after this track. Tracks are named by set as opposed to disc as there
are many media options now for output.

General Notes:

This show was probably one of those events for those who attended where the
response afterwards was like "what the hell was that?" - in other words, not
your normal Dead show, festooned with wierd sound effects, in between song
banter, a Tico Tico tuning, the only Let It Rock, and the first Seastones; all
of this before even the second set which starts with a Jam. The Dark Star,
which is just a Dark Star jam (last one until 1991), lasts almost 18 minutes,
and is one of only 6 played in '74, and the only one in '74 without vocals.
Spanish Jam makes its first of 7 appearances in '74 after a 15 month hiatus.
The jam into US Blues is classic, and the Casey Jones encore is 1 of 10 in '74.
Two repeats from the night before, Jack Straw and Ship Of Fools, had different
feels, yet I still prefer the 22nd versions.

Sonically, the weird part is the beginning of the show which is a matrix from
the SBD source which finally goes to straight SBD in the middle of Ramble On Rose.
This first portion, which is quite phasey, was left alone and not matrixed with
the AUD source due to the fact it had already been matrixed (by Healy?, real time
at the show? - could this be the first matrix experiment at a Deadshow?). Also,
Seastones is AUD only.

Thanks to Jerry Moore for recording the AUD at such a perfect FOB location
which picked up alot of Garcia's amp, thus making the matrix work well. Thanks
to Noah Weiner and Mark Cohen for their conversion of Jerry Moore's masters.
Thanks to Josh Belkin for mastering the SBD source, and thanks to Phil for his
SBD source used as a patch in Belkin's source.

Thanks to Bill Zormeir (AKA Zman) for the excellent artwork.

-Enjoy!

Editing Notes:

- Pitch/Synch
Both sources were very close in pitch, the SBD being the closest to A=440.
I synched the AUD to the SBD and the AUD had to be pitched up only 2 to 6 cents.
The alt. SBD "Phil's tape" which provides the patch in US Blues did not need
to be pitch adjusted, although some EQ was applied to match the regular SBD in
tone/timbre (high shelf starting at 1.5kHz +6dB).

- Sonic Quality/Matrix ratio
No EQ was applied to either of the two main sources. I applied very sparingly
Waves L2 (limiter) to the master 2 buss to keep things contained, the
levels rarely hitting zero, thus the limiting is quite scarce. All I was
trying to do here is to add some dimension to the SBD by using the
ambience of the AUD. The result is a lively but clear recording, hopefully
close to how it sounded at the show. If I had to guess the SBD/AUD ratio
would be somewhere between 3:1 and 2:1. Note that Jerry's presence in the
matrix mix is enhanced greatly from the AUD due to his loud stage volume.

- 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 - 3:14) - missing (tuning)
s1t02 (6:18 - 6:51) - missing (tuning)
s1t04 (0:13 - 0:47) - missing (tuning)
s1t04 (1:11 - 1:43) - missing (tuning)
s1t04 (3:19 - 4:34) - missing (tuning)
s1t06>7 (7:43 - 0:02) - missing (tuning)
s1t07 (3:31 - 4:20) - missing (tuning)
s1t08 (7:55 - 9:12) - missing (tuning)
s1t09 (4:08 - 4:09) - missing
s1t09 (5:18 - 5:50) - missing (tuning)
s1t10 (3:26 - 4:09) - missing (tuning)
s1t11 (9:08 - 7:50) - missing (tuning)
s1t12 (4:22 - 5:45) - missing (tuning)
s1t13>14 (7:58 - 0:56) - missing (tuning)
s1t17 (5:21) - removed subsecond glitch
s1t18 (5:32 - 5:44) - missing (tuning)
s2t01 (0:00 - 2:21) - missing (tuning)
s2t03 (6:04 - 6:19) - missing (tuning)
s2t04 (4:44 - 5:39) - missing (tuning)
s2t05 (4:40 - 4:41) - missing (splice)
s2t05 (9:24 - 10:47) - missing (tuning)
s2t06 (5:17 - 6:03) - missing (tuning)
s2t07 (9:07 - 9:16) - missing (flip)
s2t09 (5:08 - 5:30) - supplied by alt. SBD "Phil's Tape"
s2t09 (8:14 - 10:25) - missing (tuning)
s2t11 (4:54 - 8:54) - missing (tuning)
s2t12 (6:40 - 6:50) - missing (tuning)

AUD:
s1t16 (4:17) - fixed sbe
s2t05 (10:50) - removed mic bump


Full coverage is achieved, and almost all the missing elements from the SBD
are tuning/crowd.
