Notes;
	There were a few firstÕs for this show; First Frost show for me in over 20 years (the place is still as magical as ever!), my first time seeing JRAD, and my first time using the Zoom H3-VR ambisonic recording mic at an outdoor rock show.  I used the mic to record ambisonically to four channels (in the AmbiX B-format) on the internal microSD card.

	The AmbiX file type is a 4 channel poly wav file that contains four channels of Ambisonic B-format information.  If listening in 2-channel stereo, you are most likely hearing a truncation (2 channel UHJ) of the front figure 8 (X axis) and the omni channel (W).  Similarities to mid-side recording can be heard, but the augmentation of the mid figure-8 (X axis) compared to a cardioid, and the overall omni (w) compared to a Y axis figure-8 gives a wider, more open, sound that approximates wide-side recording, as compared to a mid-side signal.

	A special Thank You to Larry Sykes, Ted Mattes, Kirk Nelson, David Smith and the entire group that made this recording of history possible.  It takes a village.  Please share responsibly.  Enjoy!

Checksums & tags created in xACT

Tagging notes:
Show information is embedded within the header of each flac file. 
It will display on any player capable of directly playing flac files. 
If converted to wav during processing, all tags will be stripped, 
however audio data will remain unaffected. If you must 
transcode to a lossy format, do so directly Flac > Lossy.
Use ffp or st5 to validate audio integrity.
Md5 values will change if tagging is altered.
