Notes: This show was recorded from The Sweat Zone, fifteen feet from the stage and just to left of center. It was very crowded, and this was a stealth recording situation with a hand-held microphone, so it's not perfect, but it's right in The Zone, so the sound is pretty full. The bass guitar and kick drum were WAY loud all night, so I was glad for the bass reduction on my microphone, and I applied some more equalization when remastering (Soundforge EQ setting: low shelf enabled: -4 db below 85 hZ; balanced with boost of 1.8 dB at 20 Hz at 1.0 octave width). The result is still very bassy, maintaining authenticity, but at least I don't get a headache listening to the boomy recording. You can turn down the bass some more, in fact I recommend it.

Enjoy! Comments welcome. Thanks Emily for the setlist. Folks, I was hand-holding the microphone, so I tried not to cheer too much, but you'll hear me a few times... woo hoo! I'm The Boss! Joanie said so... PeterT
