Sonic Studios DSM1 mikes -> Sound Professionals preamp ->
Creative Nomad Jukebox 3 line in -> 
digital cleanup, SANDE -> FLAC w/o SBE; by TomP

This performance was recorded direct to hard disk as
a CD-format (16x44) wav file. Mikes were near the stage, 
so the sound is immediate and audience noise is minimal. 

There's been no lossy compression of any kind (including
no dynamic compression) or audio CD extraction. The bass has 
been equalized very carefully (SANDE) to offset the 
auditorium's effects (the in-room response had a couple 
big peaks and valleys). 

Nothing has been removed except some extended applause 
after TWU, around Roots, and before the encore. All of 
Pat's remarks are intact.

Other adjustments were:
- The two quiet songs near the end (Always, Farmer's Trust) 
  were boosted to save a trip to the volume knob at playback.
- There was a technical problem recording Roots (d'ohh !). 
  A section near the start has been patched with the 2005-3-21 
  version. Thanks (again) to Clay for that. The noise floor 
  is higher for this track.
- some small attenuations for audience/noise.

Two minutes into the opening track (Pat's baritone guitar
solo) the rest of the band approaches the stage through the
audience, playing small glockenspiels etc. as a "toy instrument 
procession." By chance the procession routed right past the 
mikes, so you hear them pass by, walk backstage and go to 
their instruments: a nice you-are-there effect :-)

This recording is for non-commercial entertainment use only, 
and may not be sold or lossy compressed (mp3 etc). We hope you 
enjoy it and remember to patronize the artists: see more shows!
