Been working on this show on and off for a while. Think I'm ready to put it to bed. Haven't seen too many National shows, but they've quickly become one of my favorites. This was the better of the Berkeley shows, although the night before was very solid too. Bob Weir was an excellent guest, even providing some cool new guitar licks on Terrible Love (I mixed it pretty clear in this recording).

It's primarily the wireless feeds with some of the audience mixed in. I've been experiment with side channel compression with the audience recording, so when the wireless sum track gets quiet, the audience automatically gets louder. Of course, there's a good amount of audience noise in the wireless feeds to begin with.

DMonkey's audience was very nice, it mixed in well. Recording has a good stereo spread to match the layout of the stage. Tricky mix to maintain the right vocal balance--lead singer goes from a soft whisper to loud screaming quite frequently.

Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your time". Just share it freely.

Please don't convert from mp3 back to wave and trade around. This stuff is too easy to find on torrents now.

Please do not attempt to remaster/remix this recording and spread it around. This has been heavily processed, and if you want to do your own mix, go get the wireless recordings (good luck), microphone recording, and do it yourself from scratch.

Also, please don't torrent on other sites without at least dropping me a line and asking. I may want to just torrent it there myself. Please ask (and wait for permission!) before putting it in any matrix + video. If you ask nicely I will likely say yes.

Enjoy y'all
