Notes:
To avoid having thunderous digital clips on the recording, I used a slightly steep compressor to level off the crowd cheers between songs. This brought the applause from a clipping level to about -10db or so. I also used a click remover plugin to take out some harsh claps happening inches from the microphones. Even still, the music is significantly quieter than the audience cheers. I wanted to do as little dynamic editing possible; the room sounded great, and I don't want to take all the dynamics from the recording in exchange for a more "loud" final mix. If it's too soft, turn it up :)

*Jeff performed the final 2 songs unplugged on stage lip. Even though we were fairly close, I boosted levels about +10db to compensate for the low signals.
