Notes:
JD solo show played on a rooftop in Brooklyn. Periodically you'll notice the sound
becomes somewhat hollow; one of the channels on the PA system seemed to periodically
drop in and out. The recording level on my MiniDisc was set a bit on the low side;
I boosted the volume a bit and added compression in Sound Forge, which resulted in
a bit of hiss and some clipping, but hiss and clipping shouldn't scare off tMG fans.
Periodic popping sounds in the background are firecrackers being set off in the
neighborhood (especially noticable during Twin Human Highway Flares).
Please note that this and the July 4 show are the first shows I've transferred and
seeded, so please be nice! Any comments, questions or suggestions, please feel free
to drop me an e-mail at the above address. Thanks, and enjoy!
