Notes:
This is certainly a flawed recording; I'm mainly putting it out there for the completists. With the Bay Area's taper culture, I expect a better version to show up sooner or later. In the meantime:

1) Due to a last-second decision to tape, I was missing a few key pieces of equipment -- like an ADC, preamp, or even a simple battery box. The low-end distorts throughout the recording as a result.

2) The women directly in front of me felt that the middle of the headliner set at a $225-per-ticket concert was the perfect time to catch up with each other's lives. And my mics were there to immortalize their chat.

3) A slip of the finger led to a dramatic, unintentional fade-in on the master through the first ten seconds or so of the show. Rather than try to clean it up and botch the job, I left it as-is. Levels were untouched through the rest of the show (the clipping mics kept the meters topping out at around -3 dB).

You've been warned; flames about quality will be cheerfully ignored.

For those of you that still burn shows to audo CDs, splitting before track 13 (De Do Do Do) will result in a pretty well-balanced two-disc set.

No artwork with this one, sorry. Feel free to make some.
