Notes:
- volume level adjustment in 2 (1:52)
- minidisc switch in 11 (5:19-7:08), solved with fabchannel.com webcast 
  (mms://195.169.149.136/ondemand/sonicyouth2004_300.wmv > Creative Soundblaster 
  Platinum 5.1 > Cool Edit Pro)
- cable wiggling in 12 (0:07-0:18), 14 (7:41), 15 (19:32)


As you can see above there are some minor issues, but all in all the sound quality 
is good and I think it's an enjoyable listen. Although I'm probably a bit biased 
as I was there in person. I received this as two audio discs straight from the taper 
himself. There was no "cut-off point" for splitting the recording into two discs and 
I decided to leave it that way, so it's up to you to decide where you want to split it. 
EAC logs are included.

This was a Local Radio Station Production that was to enclude PJ Harvey on
the bill, but PJ had to cancel. Two other groups also played with SY 
who closed the show. I Was pissed to miss Polly but Sonic YOuth gave us our
money's worth. A decent recording with the Highlight/Endurance test being
a 36+ minute closing of Expressway.
Thank you tunic for sharing all their great SY recordings.
And to everyone else who are doing the same.
