(52min+66min), CSHEB > -20db cable > miciin-20db w/limiter>D100 >44kdats, 8th row right directly back from hanging speakers above stage; 44k dats>midiman delta dio 2496> cooledit2000> wav>flac; tape flip in encore break; nearby audience is mostly quiet during songs; sound is not as loud as previous year but unfortunately this year the sound was harsh and narrow especially at the start and it comes out that way on this recording; in previous years she had a much nicer full warm sound; this show and recording are still excellent sound but disappointing in what should have been; the catalyst was kept stuffy and sweltering with no ventilation probably to sell more drinks; they finally slightly ventilated it a little before the encore; it was cool outside and they could have ventilated it anytime to make everyone more comfortable including Lucinda who requested an electric fan turned on her early on and later commented twice about how hot it was and some of the other band members were visibly sweating as well as the crowd; Lucinda joined in playing drums on last part of d2t11; excellent sound [A]
