This recording is a mix of audience and soundboard. It
started out as my master audience tape, recorded with a
hand-held tape recorder connected to two fairly decent
external microphones. Then I got ahold of a copy of the
soundboard recording, but it was incomplete - it started
near the end of the fourth song, and because the band had
no vocal mics (their music is all instrumental) and the
audience had no mic, you couldn't hear any of the stage
annoucements, applause or band/audience interaction on
the soundboard recording.

So I took the two and combined them, trying to get the
best possible sound quality for the actual music, but
keep the "live feel" by adding in the audience recording
of the stage annoucements, etc. Plus I grafted on the
missing first few songs from the audienece tape.

So you'll notice the sound quality varying throughout the
set, but overall it's pretty good to very good.

Audience portion taped with a Panasonic
portable tape recorder connected to 2 external mics.
Recorded to Maxell XLII 90 min tape. Converted to
WAV using an Onkyo TA-RW311 tape deck fed into an
Compac Presario PC, using Cool Edit 96.

If you enjoy this set, please purchase the band's CD
"Racket Science" (from which most of this show comes),
and consider attending ProgDay (every Labor Day weekend
in Chapel Hill, NC - www.progday.com). The festival
operates on a shoestring budget every year, and a handful
of tickets sold or not sold can make or break the best
progressive rock festival around.

Note on the photos accompanying this recording - the timestamp
on the pictures says they were taken around 9:30 in the morning,
but the band didn't actually start playing until 10:30. I think
I might have forgotten to adjust the camer's clock for daylight
saving's time or something."
