Sure, I'll go with that.  I've got an interesting matrix for 05.14.1973, NOLA.  
There's a pure soundboard version, an audience/soundboard version and a 
soundboard/audience version.

The sbd sounds dry somehow, and kinda thin.  It's comparable to 04.27.1977 in 
that it's a good recording but there's something missing there somehow.  The 
aud/sbd sounds like a really good Millard tape.  The sbd/aud version?  It's got 
the clarity you generally want mixed with the traditional audience tape 
atmosphere.  It's clearly the best of the bunch in my opinion.
