Notes:
- Show recorded from OUTSIDE the venue - we sat on a park bench on the
left side of the venue (near the bandshell). As a result, there are all
sorts of bird noises, wind, people walking by, asking me questions, etc.
I even answered my cell phone before the encore and you can hear me
talking (sorry). One of the stranger taping experiences I've ever had.
In two months, no other recordings have come out, so what you hear is
what I got - not pretty, but all there is.
- Wind rumble in far too many spots to mention to edit out. If you're even
downloading this, you should be expecting it. It's particularly bad from
0:15-0:26 of track 7, 2:58-3:28 of track 9 and 1:58-2:10 of track 12.
- A nasty screeching noise cropped up from time to time in the right
channel; the extreme humidity may have had something to do with it. To
correct it, I simply pasted the left channel over the right during the
following passages, which will sound mono as a result:
- Track 4, 7:30.900-7:32.000
- Track 5, 3:30.500-3:33.500; 4:47.700-end
- Track 6, 0:00-0:14, 0:39-0:48, 2:41-2:49, 4:46-end
- Track 7, 0:00-0:14
- Track 9, 5:16-5:19
- Track 10, 0:39-1:01
- Yes, that's venue security coming by at 2:51 of the last song to ask me
to stop recording. I just pretended to break down and handheld the mics
for the last song, though I wonder if they had any authority to make me
stop, since I wasn't actually *inside* the venue...
