* = w/Lo on acoustic guitar
+ = just the original 5 members, w/o Jason, Lizzie, and John
# = starts out with the original 5, and Jason, Lizzie and John come in to fill out the rest of the song.
Note: I EQ'd in a very slight bass boost to S1T2 (up to 2:51.81) to compensate for the fact that the venue's subwoofer was not enabled until exactly 2:51.81 into the song.
Lineup:
Lo Faber - guitar, vocals
Aaron Maxwell Lieberman - guitar, vocals
John "Bevo" Liebowitz - keys, organ
Dan Pfier - bass, harmony vocals
Tom "Tomo" Osander - drums, harmony vocals
Jason Crosby - keys, organ, violin/fiddle
John Wood - percussion
Lizzie "Loves" Friel - background vocals
Special thanks to Mike Salvo for lending me his mic stand so I could run my split mic setup! Without a 2nd mic stand I wouldn't have been able to run any sort of split (I can only lug so much stuff with me on the subways in NYC).
