2-Source Matrix
by RE Eichorn (July 2025)

Back in 2013, in a fit of youthful enthusiasm, I released several (!) matrixes of this show. They are all garbage, with the possible exception of the final version, which is surprisingly listenable, to my ears. Even so, I believe this new matrix is superior to my old efforts in every way, and I'm releasing it now in an effort to atone for the sonic sins of my past.

Why is this matrix superior to my old attempts? The AUD source is newer and better; I have a much more efficient and effective method; and I know a lot more about mixing and mastering now than I did twelve years ago. Is this new matrix perfect? --No. But is it currently the best, most "well-rounded" source available for this show? --Yes, I believe it is.

Your mileage may vary, of course. But I hope that anyone who finds their way to this matrix will enjoy it. A late-late-era show, but quite a good one, I think! The So Many Roads is the best ever, for my money, and I think the China Cat > Rider is the definitive late-late-era version.

Notes

-- Thanks go to everyone responsible for making the sources used in this matrix and for making them available.

-- I try to take a "less is more" approach when it comes to mastering (EQ and the like), but in the case of this show, I found that the SBD source was improved greatly by the use of what's called "Dynamic EQ" to tame some of the drums, specifically Billy's bass drum and Micky's aggressive toms. They're much less overpowering now, but without sacrificing the punch of Phil's bass or the power of the low-end in general, I think. I hope you agree.

-- A curiosity: I always assumed that '93 SBD recordings simply replicated the mix that was sent to the sound system at the venue, but apparently that's not the case. About 3 minutes into "Minglewood," Vince launches into an organ solo that's almost entirely absent from the SBD, but can be heard clearly (at least at first) on the AUD source.
