Notes:
Significant upgrade. Set 1 was re-matrixed from scratch, with a different approach to the mix and more exacting sync. Set 2 uses a newer PCM Master source of the SBD.
Ray Ackerman's audience tape, #145353 (4/4/18), patches 4 seconds at the beginning of Jim Oade's recording where Half-Step gets cut.
As noted by Charlie, it sounds like there was some prior processing done to the "CM > Dat > CD" source for set 1.
Some initial SBD vocal mix fluctuations in Half-Step and Mama Tried.
Two tiny cuts in C.C. Rider are now patched. There were also two hiccup anomalies that added minuscule duration to the song, which were removed. Soundtrack Pro was used to help clean these edits.
6-second cut in Looks Like Rain SBD is now patched.
Some PA static occurs throughout the show.
EQ was used for the first set SBD source only.
