Mooner's notes:

Was it the WaMu/RP-AK speaker sys? Or a fiendish corporate stab at tapers? Or a set of mics grossly mismatched for the type of audio they were meant to capture? I don't know. But mastering this show was beyond my abilities. Like some of the previous audience recordings of this tour, bass mysteriously avoided being captured. Frequencies that would come and go, abnormal and stunted ranges, stage output that barely made 18kHz... I could bitch all night. So I asked Marooned from Echoes Hub to arm wrestle this into shape. He pulled it all together into a listenable state. Many thanks Marooned.

This was a satisfying show, albeit a little heavy on the treble side since the only bass instrument was a standup bass. But pairing Plant with Krauss is like watching Granny Clampitt wave to you from the trunk of an Enzo . One or two songs fused well (Battle Of Evermore) but the rest just had great backing vocals.

Kashmir was not played...
