* = with John Vanderslice

Notes:
A solo show from the 2009 Gone Primitive solo tour with John Vanderslice. The first song ended up being an Amazon.com bonus track for their then still unreleased album, The Life of the World to Come, while "Hello Sarah" is a previously unreleased outtake from the early cassette days.

Unfortunately, it seems as if the microphones lost contact with the recorder for a second or two during the climax of "Broom People." I have left the silence intact; I may at a future time attempt to repair this by creating a matrix recording with another existing source.

During the transfer process, I used Fission for both normalization and splitting tracks. I also cut some of the applause during the encore break, during which time I had needed to swap out minidiscs. No EQ, compression, or any other audio tampering has been used on this recording.

If anyone has any comments or questions, I can be reached at the e-mail address above. Thanks!
