Groundtruther with Jamie Saft

Tonic, New York City, NY

November 16, 2005 "sort of" *RESEED*







This one was seeded here before in 2006 by mixolydian. For this reseed, I had to make new FLACs based on my CDR copy. I also trimmed down the duration of the crowd noises after the second set. The sound characteristics are unaltered.

from the original info:



This is the only time Jamie played with Groundtruther, even though he was listed for 2 consequent nights.

I was only able to catch this one evening, and even though my rig had a developed a lot of problems, these 2 sets are still some of the best stereo captures I have ever made...



Unfortunately both sets have some dropouts in the right channel, and I've had to patch that with the left.

(If this bothers you when listening in headphones, you could always modify it to keep just the left, but the stereo effect is really strong and the patches are few and far between.)



There are less than 10 seconds missing at the beginning of the first set. (Oops!) (...)
