Acoustic Planet Tour, vol.2
featuring Béla Fleck and the Flecktones with a rotating cast of support acts. Everyone joins in during the encore at the end.

34:12.868 into KW set (d1_t09), R mic bumped; 0.116 sec patched over by copy from L channel.

During Crow Black Chicken (d2_t07), Ben & Victor start out trading licks on Ben's bass,
then progress to simultaneously duetting on the instrument.

the Flecktones join YMSB one-by-one during Steep Grades (d2_t12)...

59:25.868 from start of YMSB set (after first of Fleck-tunes, d2_t13), there's a 1.227 sec cut
(during applause) when I swapped batteries on the mic preamp.
This has been 'fixed' with a 1.0 sec crossfade between parts

To listen to the show in seamless, 'as it happened' fashion, omit d1_t13-16 from the playlist.

Should have left the levels well enough alone, but well, sometimes you just gotta meddle with things...
