| Tech Notes | Personal note: the first disc of this shares a snippet of the band's 2006-01-27 performance as filler, whereas the second disc is tacked onto the 2003-05-13 data disc. Check and check. "OK Folks here's one that has been on the shelf for a while- I went out of town right after this show and it just sort of fell between the cracks. Another factor was that I just wasn't that stoked on how this recording turned out. For some reason the Greek just didn't have the usual great sound that it is famous for. Nevertheless, it was a killer show, and sound issues aside, it was a fun night. The sound does get better as the show goes along, but they never seemed to be able to dial it in perfectly. Of course location is always a factor, and looking back, I was probably too close. I like the throne area by the back of the floor/pit, but for this show I went to the bottom of the steps... the PA was hung high, perhaps higher than usual (?), and the sound was possibly just going over the heads of everybody down close.... I always wondered what it would have sounded like from the benches, right behind the SBD for example. I can only guess that it would have been better there.... OK enough rambling! Enjoy!" "Regarding setlist and track times: I tracked this show where it seemed likely that a new song was starting. I ended up with 12 music tracks plus the fade intro track. The setlist only contains 8 songs (plus Interlude/Noise). Obviously I broke a song or two into more than 1 track. The setlist itself was taken from a different source's info file of the same show. That's where those track times come from. The actual CD length of THIS fileset is listed above, but obviously does not equal the sum of the individual track times. I hope that makes sense! -wilson" |
