General Notes:

Three sources from the LMA provided coverage for this matrix: a different
SBD for each set, and a very nice sounding FOB AUD recorded by Steve
Hopkins. While the first set SBD source suffers greatly from previous NR,
the second set SBD is superb, resulting in an excellent matrix. Multiple
requests from the audience for St. Stephen in the first set help to
resurrect this gem (not played since Halloween 1971). Another resurrection
is a stirring High Time, stashed since 7-12-70. Most notable IMHO is the
8+ minute intro to Eyes which clocks in at 17:17 total. Some consider this
show second only to the 7-18 show for 1976 with the 6-29 up there as well,
definately in the top 3. While the intro to St. Stephen is AUD only, it is
still quite listenable, with the crowd reacting strongly, and the matrix
kicks in once the vocals start. A Franklin's encore is also an added bonus.

Thanks to Steve Hopkins for recording the FOB AUD, Dave Minor and Dave
Handrich for DAT/CDR dupes, and Matt Vernon for the AUD editing and
conversion. Thanks to J Cotsman for the Set 1 SBD. Thanks to Paul Bottiglio
for the set 2 SBD source discs, and to Tony G for converting and seeding
them. Thanks to Jonathan Aizen for uploading all 3 sources to the Llama.

Enjoy!
Chappy
