Notes
1] DTP, Gojira, and Opeth--what a lineup! My only exposure to Devin Townsend prior to the show was his
"Rammin' the Steins" remix of Rammstein's "Rammlied," which I didn't like, but after this show I think
he and his band are fantastic. This show is one of the few I've been to where the place was nearly
full for the first band to play, and I understand why--these dudes are killer!

2] Recording is OK, but maybe a little bass-heavy, and the mids are mushed together. Vocals were a little
low in the mix.

3] If you feel like helping me out some, let me know what you think of the channel balancing. I'm trying
out some different programs/techniques for correcting imbalances because I don't think I actually know
what I'm doing. Cheers!
