View NotesSBD with several Audience patches.  Sorry I don't have the original txt file that came with these files.  
However, since the Archive folks decided to put that ridiculous Audience version that's missing half the first set!!! 
I've put this version on bt so folks can have it.  Enjoy!  It was a great show.  One of the folks that I saw this show 
with remarked afterwards "I'm going back east this fall to see a real Morning Dew indoors."  What an idiot.  And, the 
joke was on him, as this was the last Dew for 1983.

View NotesNotes:

AUD-only for first 2:53 of Alabama Getaway.

Clicks and static occurrences removed or reduced: 2 in Alabama Getaway, 1 in Dire Wolf, 4 in Hell In A Bucket, 5 in West LA Fadeaway, 1 in Me And My Uncle, 2 in Mexicali Blues, 7 in Althea, 1 in CC Rider, 1 in Help On The Way, 7 in Franklin's Tower, 6 in Let It Grow, 4 in He's Gone, 2 in Space, 8 in Wang Dang Doodle, 1 in Morning Dew.

Some anomalies remain after clean-up, mostly static from the sound system, in an otherwise great sounding SBD source. The minor analog noise in Althea (2nd occurrence) was reduced significantly. The Wang Dang Doodle PA noise was softened slightly. More frequent faint clicks occur during Space.

One section of SBD dead air was trimmed out, between Bucket and West LA.

Slightly more EQ work after West LA and Space due to sonic changes, then relatively much less EQ after Althea and the Wang Dang Doodle cut in the SBD - these adjustments were the same for both sets, so there are basically "A", "B" and "C" EQ settings applied to each set. (Typical subtle EQ work for these tapes, usually gently adjusting the high and/or low ends [in this case the high] to be more sonically palatable, done more to "fix" than "enhance" the sound. Mixing two sources together often requires compensatory EQ, where one or both sources are EQ'd. 31 band equalizer used.)

#143081, recorded by Executive Crew Chris Kidwell, Tom Pinney and Sean Murtha (transferred by Kyle Holbrook), patches the tail end of Might As Well to preserve the audience applause. #141025, billydee's tape (Larry Sellers & the Philly Crew transfer via Joe Noel), appears to be patched out of the Executive Crew's Beyerdynamic M201 mic rig and patches 20 seconds of the beginning of Let It Grow (missing from #143081). 5 second dropouts in Space and Sugar Magnolia were also patched. 15 seconds were missing from Let It Grow in the SBD source.

Bryant's excellent audience tape was the most optimal for this matrix and adds some nice full, clean bass response. He also recorded 9/10, yet billydee's tape (Beyerdynamic 180's) still seems better sounding for that particular matrix.

View NotesI was never very happy with my original matrix of September 11, 1983. The SBD recording 
has some funky mix issues, particularly too loud cymbals, especially a crash cymbal. 
There is also some annoying high-end fizz and quite a bit of tape hiss on the SBD, I did 
use Izotope RX 2 for some very light noise reduction. I remixed and smoothed out some of 
the crossfades on the original synced files in Reaper v4.61/x64,  some great software from 
Waves was utilized to master the final mix. It's not perfect, but I think the extra time 
and work provides for a better listening experience. For best results, crank it up good 
and loud, enjoy this deservedly legendary show on Micky Hart's  40th birthday.

View NotesHere's another one from the DAT collection of Keith Litzenberger. The only info I have is what was listed on the DAT. I believe the info is correct because some of the same crowd noise can be heard here and the Tony Suraci source. During the set II tuning a fan requests "The Wheel". This guy seems to be in between this taper and tony Suraci. so that tells me the FOB info is correct. There are no cuts where cassette flips would normally be and it sounds really crisp and clean leading me to believe it was mastered on PCM. God Bless The Grateful Dead, Enjoy!
