Notes: I haven't seen these guys in about four years, and I have to say, they haven't missed a beat.  The crowd, which was smaller than usual, was really into the music, and the band fed off of the energy all night.  I think that this recording is a good representation of what it was like to be in the crowd that evening.  At times, you may hear some noise in the mix, this is caused by radio interference coming through the IEMs.  Jeff makes reference to this phenomenon during the show.  The crowd comes through at times, but it does not effect the recording dramatically.  Also, Jeff's vocals were a bit "hot" at times, so it may sound like the recording is clipping a bit. This was not due to high levels during this recording; this was simply how the sound came through the PA.  I also made a 16 bit soundboard recording; although the instrumentation and vocals are a bit clearer in the soundboard, the radio interference is much more prevalent, and the overall sound is much more sterile.  I'd like to try a matrix, but I don't have the skills to do it properly (If anyone has good information, or a tutorial, I would be most grateful).  Anyway, I hope that you all enjoy the recording.
