* First minute's sound affected by my inability to plan ahead.  Rumble from mic
adjustment ends exactly at one minute.  No other major issues with recording.
Really entertaining set from a master lyricist.

Venue notes:

A very small setting is the Clipper with a seperate dining room that resembles
a train car, in a neighborhood with clubs in spitting range varying from
Punk/Metal to Hip-Hop.  Pabst Blue Ribbon flows from the tap or you can buy it
in a can.  The stage is obscured by a makeshift mirrored room which supports an
elevated soundboard.  Perhaps this comment by Peter on the following nights
accomodations at Neumos in Seattle explains it best:  "I cannot emphasize enough
how great it is to have a dressing room that is something more than a closet
with four hundred sets of cocks and balls scrawled on the walls."  Good times.

Show notes:

John played the set barefoot and very willing to improvise.  This is the last night
bassist Peter plays his "ten-year-old red Mexico-built Fender Jazz with a small gash
in the bottom, a big Swedish vehicle ID sticker on the back, and a Barack Obama for
U.S. Senate 2004 campaign sticker on the front".  Too bad.  It sounded sweet.  The 
"low-e" breaking turns out to be a score for fans of both the Goats and Billie.
A real gem of a night.  The Double and Sarah Dougher opened.

Notes:
JD solo show played on a rooftop in Brooklyn. Periodically you'll notice the sound 
becomes somewhat hollow; one of the channels on the PA system seemed to periodically 
drop in and out. The recording level on my MiniDisc was set a bit on the low side;
I boosted the volume a bit and added compression in Sound Forge, which resulted in
a bit of hiss and some clipping, but hiss and clipping shouldn't scare off tMG fans.
Periodic popping sounds in the background are firecrackers being set off in the
neighborhood (especially noticable during Twin Human Highway Flares).

Please note that this and the July 4 show are the first shows I've transferred and 
seeded, so please be nice! Any comments, questions or suggestions, please feel free 
to drop me an e-mail at the above address. Thanks, and enjoy!

Notes:
Jd Solo Show Played On A Rooftop In Brooklyn. During The First Chorus Of "jenny,"
My Right Mic Died On Me; Rather Than Convert The Entire Show To Mono, I Simply
Duplicated The Left Channel Audio To The Right Channel For The Duration Of The Show.
It's Still Very Listenable And Entertaining, And The Switch To Mono Sound Only
Affects The Last Five Minutes Or So. I Boosted The Volume Just A Bit In Sound Forge, 
Which Added A Slight Amount Of Hiss But Not Enough To Be Distracting. Other Than The
Right Channel Dropping Out At The End, I Think That This Recording Came Out
Exceptionally Bright, Crisp And Clear.

Please Note That This And The July 2 Show Are The First Shows I've Transferred And 
Seeded, So Please Be Nice! Any Comments, Questions Or Suggestions, Please Feel Free 
To Drop Me An E-mail At The Above Address. Thanks, And Enjoy!
