Noteshow notes:
(1) It would have been nice to keep the whole 2nd set intact, but the 2nd set is about 83 minutes, and even with the encore break edited out, it still would have been too long for an 80 min disc. However, there is a quiet part where I chose to break the set between discs, and I feel that not too much continuity is lost.

Tech Note(1) This was recorded from the orchestra section, row RR, seat 113. This is about 6 seats left of center, and right under the lip of the balcony, for those of you who are familiar with the Orpheum Theater. (2) I was told by the event staff to keep the mics at "head height." During the first set, I crept up the mics, to probably ~6.5 ft. Then, during break, I was asked by security to lower them. During the first song of Set 2, I rose the back up. At times, you can hear the people directly in front of my mics talking, or clapping. But this is infrequent, and in my opinion, does not take very much away from the music. (3) I forgot a couple of screw thread adaptors, and consequently, my mics were attached to my stand using several strips of velcro. As such, I was not able to place the mics in a standard XY or ORTF position. The mics were running with only 5-10 degrees between them, and about 3 inches apart. The stereo image suffers because of this, but given the circumstances, I'm very happy with the recording.
