Notes:
Digiflex xlr cables (Canare/Neutrik) 
Optical cable from a vintage (ca 1993) Sony laserdisc player 
Cheap vocal mic stand (I'm working on a Manfrotto; one 
investment at a time :-) )

Gain adjustments early on compensated for in Sound Forge 
using Normalize and one instance of Dither and Noise Shape

Fades applied to beginnings and ends of some sets

Some 18 seconds of crowd noise between 'Gorgonzola' and 
'4 and 1' as well as some pre-set banter cut to allow 
all three sets to fit onto two 80-min discs (specifically, 
to be able to move Organ Donor > Neo-Geo > Don't Worry 
to the end of Disc One) 

AGP played in the beer tent Sunday at roughly 4:45-5:45 
(before Violent Femmes' main stage set), 7:15-8:10 and 
9:30-10:10 (before moe.'s last two main stage sets)

AGP soundman Steve S now also works the board for Matisyahu, 
who played the main stage immediately before AGP's first set, 
so Steve was only at the board for sets II and III

Issues with Rob M's keyboard connections prevented him from 
using his full setup during Set I

Thanks to Brad and Steph for playing defense around the mic
stand (glowsticks and beach balls can be fun, but not in a beer tent)

And big thanks to Rob and the whole band for being so friendly, 
taper- and otherwise.
