Notes - Amazing concert. This is a two source merge of two seprate audience recordings documenting the evening. We were both on one side of the venue, a little bit removed from the front. Godspeed came on to a low hum and built up a wall of noise, before unleashing a 20min+ new song. What a way to come back. The setlist was astounding, and the concert incredible. Endlessly absorbing and enthralling, the crowd were still looking for more when they finally left the stage after some 2hrs+.

About the recording -
The sound on this is quite good, I mixed the recordings over to each side a little. Each source on its own had their faults, mine being mono and a jamroom's overloading at the start, but were quite complementary. I have not tried to engineer a "perfect" sounding recording, more one which accurately documents the night & atmosphere - note how the majority of crowd are so respectful throughout! These are the second and third recordings respectivelly for this night to surface, another CA-14 source was posted on dime shortly after the sound. It has excellent sound, but I thought as it was so close-to-stack sounding (and a little overloaded) throughout, it would disrupt the balance if incorporated. Plus it's great on its own. Note, there's a couple of bits of static on either side from us adjusting our mics.

Editing Notes - DPA source bass reduced and edited for sound, Church Audio source used as raw. Mixed in audacity with no correction for speeds, DPA 50% right, CA 60% left, sprinkle of magic and hey presto.
