Notes:
This set was part of the snoe.down festival
I had intended to record this set in the cardoid pattern, but before going semi-stealthy at head-height up front (which venue security was not cool with...) I had set up in the rear of the arena using the hypercardoid pattern but in the rush to get ready upfront I didn't switch the mics back cardoid. So by the time I realized a couple of minutes into the show, there was no way for me to switch patterns until the band took a break (as it causes a very momentary dropout when you switch patterns), there was no break in the show until 20+ minutes in, after "Like A Buddha".
