notes : mics on stand, 7' high at SBD, NOS.  the weather was cold, wet, and the sound was affected by these conditions (as well as the use of thick windscreens).
starting at d2t05, there is some unexplained radio interference, ranging from barely noticeable (during music), to annoying (during non-music parts).

enjoy!

Notes:
I wrote down the setlist as I was leaving, but seem to have misplaced it. Sam was obviously in good spirits.

- Ran the recorder a little too hot for my own tastes and had some mild clipping throughout. "Reap what you sow" I guess.

- The Waybacks opened.
