This was recorded in an outdoor courtyard setting, about as far back in the venue as I could be, sitting on a wall, behind the main seating area, a few feet in front of the soundboard. For some reason, my recorder decided to capture this in an odd way, making it so when it played, it was similar to playing a 78 speed record on speed 16 (unlistenably slow). I'm pretty sure I have the speed accurately adjusted. I also had trouble getting it to start recording, and I had to shut it off and restart it to record, so I'm missing the first song and a half, and the recording starts with the second one in progress. The show was not very loud, and I had to boost it considerably, although I didn't want to also boost the claps, some of which are pretty loud. You will certainly have to turn this up a bit while listening. If somebody would like to attempt a remaster, it could benefit greatly. You can hear birds chirping throughout - Buffy makes mention of it. Also, some woman wanted to chat with me about what such a young person was doing at such a show. I kept my answers quick and quiet, and that's about all of the chatty stuff to be found on this recording. During track 03 at 01:50, there is some kind of weird glitch in the recording, and it's the only one in the recording (that I detected). I can't tell if it's an artifact from the recording, or from the speed correction, but that is the last time I'm using that particular soundcard (had no problems recording Randy Newman tonight, with a new card). I'm lucky to have made a salvageable recording from my capture. Listening back to it, days later, it's not bad at all. I took a few cell phone photos, and they are pretty bad, but I included them to give an idea of what my recording situation was like.

Enjoy -
