I scrubbed a few loud, local claps from T3(1 clap), T9(12 claps), T10(4 claps), T13(1 clap), T14(3 claps), T17(3 claps), T18(16 claps), T19(8 claps), T20(2 claps), T23(29 claps), T26(6 claps)

Note: I was set up in the total sweet spot (center back of main floor) for track 1. Then the venue security came over and forced me to move back to a designated (but previously unpopulated - given I was the only taper) taping section about 15-20 feet back, and somewhat off center to the left, which is still an excellent spot but not quite as choice. Anyway, you will hear a brief taste of how good this recording would have sounded if they had let me tape from my original spot for the first track only. Thanks to Jeff Pollack and Doug Amster for helping me move my gear as the 2nd song was starting (and continue rolling!)....The beginning of the 2nd track is a tad wonky soundwise until I get situated due to this issue. The location they moved me to (while decent) was more succeptable to crowd chatter, which you'll hear at times. How could so many people chat through Stanton's awesome drum solo???
