Notes:

The last track is cut short because I took the R-09 out of my pocket during the applause after the main set and replaced it with the hold disengaged.  Apparently the PS-2 jammed the decrease level button, causing me the one song encore to be cut.

I did the editing very quickly.  There was a loud clapper/screamer sitting just behind me to my right; they were mostly respectful while Ben was playing.  I ran a soft-knee limiter on the applause segments between songs as well as decreasing the gain (because the applause is was much louder than the actual music).  Just before dithering with UVHR22, I applied a few DB of gain.  

In retrospect I should have run with the line transformers, as the R-09 gain was maxed out.

Somebody was busted doing video from the first row (pit), the video probably has a nice view of Ben's crotch and/or ceiling...
