Known flaws:
This is the show from the Buffalo Chip campground outside of Sturgis SD.  There are some loud Harley Davidsons to be heard at times throughout the show.  There were some technical difficulties as well.  During the second song, the PA system went down.  The system was down for the second half of The Devil Went down to Georgia, and for all of Carolina Blues.  I boosted the levels in EAC, but with the mics picking up only the monitors from the sound booth, most of what you could hear was bikers bitching at the soundman.  I decided to cut out the last half of DWDTG and all of Carolina Blues, thereby removing most of the unpleasant parts, and allowing the show to fit on a single 80 minute disc. 
The show was stopped for about 10 minutes while the soundman switched everything from his faulty mixing console, to the working console of the previous band.  The show went on, but about halfway through "But Anyway" the soundman mistakenly unplugged the mics.  We caught this after about a minute or two.  The PA system also went down very briefly in "Freedom", but I boosted the levels at that point so you get the sound from the stage monitors briefly.
