* = performed from a simulated truck mini stage in the middle of the arena that used hockey sticks as microphone stands, in a nod to their first gig. Also was played from a different (mono) PA that was hung from the jumbotron in the center of the arena. This PA was MUCH closer to the tapers section so consequently sounds a lot better than sets 1 & 3.
I hand scrubbed claps/balloon pops from S1T5, S1T6, S1T9, S2T3, S2T4, S2T5, S2T6, S2T7, S3T1, S3T2, S3T3, S3T4, S3T5, S3T6, S3T7, S3T10
Recorded, mastered, tracked, tagged, and posted by Scott Bernstein (1/9-1/12/2014)
Special thanks to Mike Kutik for clamp space & for keeping the balloons mostly away!
