The levels on this one are a little hot and there are a few spots with some minor fuzzy distortion as a result. All in all, I like the sound, though - but that's me. If you're hyper-sensitive to this kind of thing, you may want to track down an alternative source.

Even though I was a ways back, the location wasn't too bad. (I'm gonna have to get there *really* early next year to get a primo spot). The Grey Fox main stage is a big hill, and I was behind the soundboard about 20', horizontally level with the speaker stacks which were raised well off the ground next to the stage. My recordings from the weekend (complete main stage Thu-Sat) vary in quality due to chattery nearby crowd, low output from the PA, rain, and strong wind.

This recording turned out better than many of the others because the PA was cranked nicely, the rain and wind had stopped earlier in the evening, and the crowd was actually attentive (!) to the performance.
