These matrix mixes tend to be ambient sounding to add presence to the dry board signal so please don't complain that this doesn't sound enough like a soundboard - it did end up a lot better as a matrix mix than it would have sounded as board or audience alone. Since the mix was done live, this is all that there is...


Other notes:
It's funny that Martha Reeves keeps referring to Santa Cruz as San Carlos ("it's great to be here in San Carlos tonight"). Also it should be noted that this show was previously seeded from a different source audience master about 2 years ago (thanks Mark!).
