Opening act: Floored By Four (Cline, Watt, Honda, Browne)
recorded; will be posted separately

Notes:

- The sound quality is pretty good, mostly due to a great sound system at the
venue. I was also fairly close and had the microphones tilted up at the
speakers hanging from the stage's roof structure.

- M Ward's guitar amp was emitting percussive sounds during the first few
electric numbers. His sound crew eventually fixed the problem.

- I believe there is some phasing evident on some of the songs, especially
toward the end; forgot that I shouldn't turn while recording.

- Articles and lots of great photos:
