Comments:
There is reportedly a really good source of Chicago floating around in snail mail circles. This is *not* it; I haven't given this to anyone yet. Having not heard the other version, I'm not sure how it compares, but I am putting this up for people who are anxious to hear this show.

The Rosemont Theater has excellent acoustics, although I was unfortunately too far to the right to get the full benefit of the overhead speakers. With the exception of two women behind me who talked through the entire show (!!!), the audience was very courteous and don't interfere much with the recording. (I shielded out the women's jabbering by flipping my jacket collar up around the microphones, and I haven't heard them on the tape.) I was relatively close (17th row) to the stage, so the fidelity is decent.

Audio Cleaning Lab was used to bring up the lost high end and cut the mid-range echo caused by my less-than-ideal position. I also did my best to cut the levels during the between-song clapping wherever it wouldn't affect the music.
