View NotesComments:

- They start to go into Johnny B. Goode and then immediately change to Sugar Magnolia*



Notes:

- Frank's masters have some problems in Set I due to a faulty mic cable.  They are mostly dropouts but it's such a very good recording overall that it was felt worthwhile putting it out.
- There are passages I have made mono where there are dropouts in just one channel and others which have been patched where both channels disappear.
- The patch source is shnid 137540 - My thanks to the late Jim Mance and Jim Wise.

Matrix by Hunter Seamons using Final Cut Pro (SHN & FLAC>AIFF>Final Cut>WAV>FLAC) 
7/25/07 Remastered 06/01/08

1) The AUD speed was increased on average by 1% to match the soundboard. 

2) There are occasional gaps in both the AUD and SBD, so there will be instances where only one source is playing. The SBD has more cuts in it, particularly between songs. 

3) The Low Gain of the SBD was increased by 3 dB.

4) The transition between disc 2 and 3 is seamless.

5) For mysterious purposes only, an echo effect was added to the 30 second bit of noodling before I Need a Miracle.

6) The results of this matrix are pretty darn good - enjoy this amazing Iowa Dead!

Remastering Notes (06/01/08):

1) Portions of all songs were re-synced, except On the Road Again, Beat It On Down The Line, I Need A Miracle, and Johnny B. Goode. Big, BIG upgrade. 

2) The AUD patch in the AUD source during Sugar Magnolia was removed.

The AUD speed was increased on average by 1% to match the soundboard.

There are occasional gaps in both the AUD and SBD, so there will be instances where only one source is playing. The SBD has more cuts in it, particularly between songs.

There is a second AUD source patched into Sugar Magnolia from 1:40 to 2:50, it seems.

The Low Gain of the SBD was increased by 3 dB.

The SBD can sound a little scratchy during some loud parts, which may be the result of the technical difficulties they were having in Set I. (Not due to Gain adjust)

The transition between disc 2 and 3 is seamless.

For mysterious purposes only, an echo effect was added to the 30 second bit of noodling before I Need a Miracle.

The results of this matrix are pretty darn good - enjoy this amazing Iowa Dead!
