Notes
------
A show from Ben's Oz tour of 2005. He'd just played in a big theatre venue the night before,
so it was fun to be part of this small club show. Many songs were fresh from the release "Songs For Silverman"
This show was seeded by another taper (whatboutbob) in 2005 at The Traders Den. This is NOT that version,
and I have no idea which version sounds better. I'm happy-ish with the results here, but the levels
do flucuate at times, and it's a bit bass heavy. I've left the EQ work up to your and your fingers....

Recorded, Edited and Upped by Franger. Enjoy!

Notes:

There is some buzzing in Bastard, don\'t know what from.  I think that\'s the extent.  Some random crackling from moving the mics (stealthy).  Recording is a little \"roomy\" because of the location, and crowd is heavy in spots and quiet in some.  Enjoy!

thanks to Reid for lending me the gear!!

This is what I guess I will call a "lost" recording.  I lost it, for about a year and a half this was sitting in my md, and had never been transferred.  I got too busy with life for a while, and when readying my deck to go taping again, I found it.  The first half of this show met an unfortunate end, and doesn't exist (sorry!)... But I figured I would post what I had.  Setlist is pieced together from the internet, so it may be suspect...Enjoy!
