Recorded during the "In Absentia" warm-up tour.

When I first uploaded this show, I used a version which used an analog transfer to my computer, which I then treated with EQ (this version was also the version I used to trade at the time).  I'm no sound expert, and what sounds good to my ears will not necessarily sound good to yours - so here's a direct digital transfer straight from the master (which I thought had been lost).  Therefore, this version should now be considered the definitive version of my source.  There is also one other source in circulation that I know of.

Recorded from the center back of the hall, mic at waist level.  Sounds nice, considering I knew little about mic placement at the time.

The first minute of "The Creator Has A Mastertape" was recorded very hot before I made adjustments; I've tried to even the levels to make it fit.   Also, There's about 20 seconds of "Hatesong" missing during the end guitar solo due to a MD switch.  I've done a fade in/out on that section.  Also tightened up some rough spots between encores - notably my drunken friends making some on-mic commentary.  Soundwise, I left the EQ alone as noted above; only performed a bit of hard limiting in CoolEdit due to low levels.

One other interesting note - I was asked to contact PT's management after I recorded this show.  I assumed I was in trouble, but it turned out that the band wanted a copy as they were planning to release this show on DVD and that they wanted my recording to possibly mix in or use as a reference.  Due to problems with the sound, the DVD was not to be.  In return, I was sent a promo copy of "In Absentia" - very cool as it was not to be released for several months.

This is a very good audience recording from the "In Absentia" tour. This show was part of NYC's CMJ Music Festival so it's a short set and heavy with songs from their then-current CD. This was the first time that "Prodigal" was played.

This copy was recorded directly to hard disk in WAV format and 
burned to CD-R - it's near-studio quality. The sibilants seem to 
have been enhanced slightly by the broadcast compression algorhythm - 
but if that's my only complaint, you get some idea of how good it is 
overall.

There are two sets, which were broadcast a week apart. The first is 
electric; the full band performing much the same set as their support 
slots with 'Yes'. Excerpts of an interview with SW are included in 4 
segments between music tracks. The tracklist:

12/11/02 Performance 1, XM Studios, Washington DC. USA
Digital Radio A+ 58
Remixed by SW at No-Man's Land, Dec. 2002, without overdubs.
Electric Set; full band. B.cast on 'XM Live'.

10: Even Less
11: Slave Called Shiver
12: Interview
13: Strip The Soul
14: Tinto Brass
15: Outro

The second broadcast, a week later, was acoustic - just SW & John 
Wesley playing three songs (two are acoustic versions of 'In 
Absentia' tracks), interspersed by the same interview as before, but 
in full.

12/11/02 XM Studios, Washington DC. USA

This recording lines up with the lineage here: http://thommi.mousenet.de/ptree/pt2002-11-15.html

SHOW NOTES- A good recording though very bassy. It's pretty clean though with slight distortion so you can shape it to your own listening preference quite easily. Refer to the above website for more information on this show

Artwork Included but the track split does not match up with this recording

**IMPORTANT**One thing I'm adding now to all of these shows - please feel free to share these with anyone or seed them on any other site that respects lossless trading, but please, only trade them in this format. If you want to change anything, then that's fine but please ONLY FOR YOUR OWN USE. Obviously, I can only ask this, but if you don't abide by my request, please- at least have decency to add your own name and 'REMIX' to the title to avoid any trading issues down the line.
