--Show Notes--
- Debut of 'Resolution'. Ryan breaks a string at ~2:40 mark and the
remainder of the tune suffers a bit because of it. (OK though)
- Ryan uses Reid's guitar (from AOD) for 'It's All Been Done Before'.
- First time the band covered 'This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)'.
--Tech Notes--
- Hats off to Jack Trifiro for making the band sound great (as usual)!!
- As noted above where it reads "Official Bleauleg (2)", the '2' simply
indicates that the finishing (ie: mixing & mastering) that went into
making this Bleauleg is of a "2nd draft" type quality. We put a 1st
draft of this show out there briefly, but it didn't quite deliver the
low-end frequencies like we had hoped, so we've done some more work
with this one. The SBD signal was a bit difficult to work with in
some regards, so we favored the mics more heavily than is typical.
Overall, improvements have now been made and we sincerely hope
everyone enjoys the listen. OUR MANTRA: "Nothing is ever final."
