DISCLOSURE: Owing to traffic, I was a little late arriving at the venue. As a result, I was not able to fully set up the recording gear and dial in my levels during sound check. As the band took the stage for the 1st set, I put on the headphones and was trying to  get the levels and the mix right while the band prepared to play. I was basically trying to get the mix between the stage mic and the bass & keyboard feeds even and it took about 2 songs. As I took off the headphones I looked down at the deck and realized that I had omitted to press the record button.  DOH!!
Thus, forever lost are the 1st 2 songs (one of them was Peggy O) and more than half of the third.

The Band:

Stu Allen: Guitar, vocals.
Mitch Stein: keyboards, vocals.
Steven Ramirez: bass, vocals
erry Saracini: drums.
