Notes:

Published Jan 21 2022, over two years after-the-fact; wpccodex.com has even
expired since.  There was at least one other experienced taper in attendance
(with Schoeps mics), so I wasn't really trying.  Unfortunately, they had some
mic problems and their recording never made it to archive.org.  The section of
my crowd for this show was louder and more enthusiastic than Nov 4th and 6th
shows, so I applied some heavy fades and even cut most applause sections
in-between tracks during the editing process.

Minimal dialogue in-between songs is cut, just a "thank you" somewhere.  A few
dynamic compression artifacts appear during music when the crowd goes wild, most
notably towards the end of "Blew Away" and the start of "1979", but I decided to
compromise on those for more enjoyable recording overall.  The applause after
"Blue Skies Bring Tears" is thundering and most of it is tracked separately as
James exits the stage while Billy thanks him.

I also ran an experimental rig which would've had a lower noise floor, but lost
one channel; so this is the same rig I used for the Nov 4th and 6th shows.

I've started publishing more of my recordings on a Tor hidden service at:
http://s35tjjsibx24bjtgbbhfyf2d3hx2b7hxxfpalrdd5wbweorqkqfyh4yd.onion/
You'll need Tor <https://www.torproject.org/> to access .onion URLs.
Expect a Night Dreamer set (Jeff Schroeder's solo project) to show up there
at some point...
