Notes:
The first 1m25s of Bertha in the SBD mix has a boomy, flat sound before it kicks into gear.
The SBD levels were louder for the first couple songs and were reduced to compensate.
A loud burst in Jerry's vocals during Bertha was reduced.
Jeff Silberman's Sennheiser 441 Dat recording, No. 142045 via Charlie Miller and Joe Noel (5/25/18), patches additional sections between songs in the AUD to maintain a continuous AUD track in the matrix.
11-second cut in Bertha (in the middle of huge Phil Bombs) and 16-second cut in Space in the SBD source now patched. The most beautiful, ethereal section of Space is where the cut occurs at 6m36s - interesting to go AUD-only here for this transcendent moment.
Tuning sections were trimmed.
Lamarre's recording adds some deep, resonant bass that is much needed for these particular SBD mixes. There was some pretty extended high end (treble) for these Philly shows that was EQ'd as needed with respect to each source.

Headed into 2024 I’m still so very grateful that these guys were so unselfish and generous with their time and dedication to their craft! I fondly remember getting “ new bootleg soundboard tapes “ and now it’s available quicker than instantly 😎✌️🇺🇸. God bless All the members of The Grateful Dead! And thanks again.

[@davidgordon7673]

Fantastic setlist. Love these pre-coma 80s shows.

[@psilobom]

I'm surprised I never saw Grateful Dead art that combined the lightning bolt and the liberty bell before, tho I always imagined the lightning bolt would be the Crack itself. Still, thank you for your work is reuploading these! The Dead got me through Chemo (~):)

[@jeffadelman1536]

So glad you made it. 🙏 ✌ ❤

[@rickmcgough8048]

The bolt caused the crack. Or it was Phil!

[@yoidontknow]

I wanna thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing all of these with us, you have helped me discover my favorite era of the Dead through these incredible matrix versions of the shows. These always sound better than anything else there is from the 80s and I got so excited to see that a new video was put up, because I knew it meant I had some new exploring to do!
