Show Comments:
5th show of the tour. Overall a solid show. Band clearly figuring that the pacing on the 3rd act isn't working (real culprit: momentum killing Miss Sarajevo) so you see some shuffling around. Band is getting more comfortable with the set, but I'll argue that it didn't start to really settle in until Chicago.

Recording Notes:
Recording efforts went well. No real issues with static that I couldn't fix, audience recording by Chrisedge is solid and nice, all and all a good effort.

Mixing Notes:
No real issues to report on mixing. I've done the usual array of tricks with metronome and count removal, but you can still hear some remnants if you listen closely. This was one of the earlier mixes I did, so some of the formula got improved and developed as I did more mixes of the tour. But it's good enough, and I'm not going to completely redo it.

As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There's no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you're not contributing--pushing 1's and 0's around on the internet is no comparison for taping.

IEM recordings are not for everyone. If not they're not your thing, either sonically or ethically, there's excellent alternative recordings out there.

Similarly, I'm mixing primarily for my ears. This is what sounds best to me. This may not sound best to you. That's a fair statement. I'm open to honest criticism (although you should have caught me when I was working on the mix!), but pointless complaining is unappreciated (naturally). Let's play nice.

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 to mp3, then back to wave, and then trade it around. This stuff is too easy to find on torrents now.

Feel free to remaster/remix this recording. Just keep it to your own computer and iPod.

Also, please don't torrent, share, or reshare on other sites without at least dropping me a line and asking. I may want to just torrent/share it there myself.

Please ask (and wait for permission!) before putting it into any matrix + video production. If you ask nicely for a quality high-res video project, I will likely say “yes”. If you put it on YouTube or cell phone video production without asking, I will send my cats from hell to chew your computer cables.

Enjoy y'all!
