J-Card Comment Notes: this is said to be, by the Foo Fighters themselves, the longest show they have ever played! The Fillmore
holds about 1000 people, so needless to say the energy of this show was awesome. This was a loooonnnngg day....went
down to soundcheck about 5 pm, then chatted with Brad and grabbed a few beers while the line backed up further and
further...Foo Fighters came on about 10pm and decided to finish up about 1:30ish...then I had to deal with uptown
baracades, road blocks, etc. due to the DNC...got home about 2:30am and had to work the next day, ugh.

This recording has two different feeds...about the first hour or so has one feed (lead guitar I think), then I switched
to another feed for the remainder of the show...both have their good and bad...I liked the way the second feed sounded
during soundcheck so I switched it mid show....after listening multiple times, I wish I had just left it alone. There
are a few static bursts here and there, nothing distracting though...the only things I don't like about this recording
are the background hiss and sometimes the vocals get lost in the music...I could remove the hiss, but it really destroys
the high end of the recording, so I just didn't remove anything below 12k mhz.
This is mix 13...just FYI, mixing a 24bit, 3.5 hour show in a multitrack session with plugins takes countless hours, so
if you have negative thoughts, please keep them to yourself.

I hope you like it as much as I do....this is a special one to me, especially since they are now done it seems.
Merry Christmas Dime!

dedicated to Brad D....drove from Baltimore to be front row for probably his 60th or so Foo Fighters show.
