It wouldn't be an acidhangover recording without some sort of mishap ... I left my recorder at home, but was able to borrow another MD recorder from ms. sharkface around the corner from the venue. Since I only had one disc to work with (that was 74 minutes, not the 80 I'm accustomed to), I was unable to record the Damon & Naomi + Kurihara set, and I clearly should have paused during the recorded intro and the crowd noise before the encore, since the entire encore (save the first 18 seconds) is missing. Oh well, at least the music that got recorded is spectacular. The beginning of the first song (track 02) was recorded a bit hot (although on playback, there was no digital distortion, even though it looked like it on the meter! That's Boris for you, I guess), so I had to adjust the recording level (losing a minute or two near the end of the song). Takeshi was having (double-neck) guitar problems early in the set, but they were eventually resolved and the other musicians created enough sound to compensate.
