Notes:
Track 4, Gossip, is a very rare Meters tune, only available on compilation albums.

Show started at 2:30am on the morning of May 1st.

For the first three minutes the sound guy is really playing with the levels.

For some reason there are a few static sounds in some places, present on the original recording. Fortunately, it's not too often or too loud, but it is noticeable. It could possibly be the speakers in the club or one of the amps. I don't have a problem like this on any of my other recordings from this weekend. It is most prevalent during the middle of track 5.

We almost didn't get in because their was only one door guy handing will call and cash payments. There were nearly 200 people in line with will call tickets, but the door guy kept taking cash from people that just walked right up to the front, while the security guard kept yelling at will call people to get back in line. We were about 70 people back in the line, by the time we got about 6 to 8 feet from the front, the will call line stopped moving because cash payers figured out that they could walk right up and the door man would take them. So the security guy is only letting one will call person out of line for every 5 or 6 cash walk ups. So will call people start pushing and getting pissed off because it's already after 2am, and the show is supposed to be starting. I finally got in and set up and I hit record right as they walked out on stage, but there were still tons of people in line at least 30 minutes after they started playing. F U One Eyed Jacks staff/security!
