due to the incomplete nature of this recording and the lack of external mics I've chosen to release this as 16 bit only.

Taped, transferred and mastered by }{eywood
Gear: Tascam DR-08 (internal mics)
Lineage: DR-08 (wav @ 24/96) > USB > Adobe Audition 1.5 (EQ, clap reduction, peak limiting, splits & fades) > Xrecode II (conversion to 16/44.1) > TLH (sector alignment, flac 8)


For the first time in 31 years I was caught taping at this show and made to stop.....AND BEN FOLDS IS TAPER FRIENDLY! About an hour into Ben's set a sedurity guy came up to me and asked me to turn off the recorder that was in my chair's cupholder. I told him Ben allows taping, so he called it in to his superior and was told they knew nothing about it. So I had to stop. I tried restarting the recording again after they left but they came back and told me to take the recorder to the car. Well since my friend and I park far away and ride bicycles in we decide to just leave.

As soon as I got home I fired off an angry e-mail to Artpark (to which I've received no reply) quoting Ben's taping policy (no video, audio OK, no tall mic stands)

Anyway, here's what I managed to get. I editied out the conversation with security and the fumbling with the recorder.
