Ratdog - 1997.10.18 - Classic Amphitheater, Richmond, VA flac16

This recording is NEW TO CIRCULATION!

Not in etree database, but see:
http://ratdog.org/1997/setlists#1018

I have supplied two complete filesets, giving downloaders a choice between the original fileset and an EQ'd fileset. Additionally, I included duplicates of tracks 07 & 08 with fades for splitting the show and burning to 2 CD-R's.

The recording suffers from bass over-saturation. Equalization was applied to one fileset only to the extent necessary to remedy the bass over-saturation (see editing notes).

----------------------

This torrent contains:

1. Original recording fileset + 2 tracks faded for splitting show and burning to CDR.

2. Equalized recording fileset + 2 EQ'd tracks faded for splitting show and burning to CDR.

This show is brought to you by the generosity of fellow dimer willie4prez. He was kind enough to send me copies of his CD-Rs for editing and uploading. His tantamount concern is that this show be made available to a wider audience here on Dime and beyond.

Thank you willie4prez for sharing this show, and for your generosity, trust, and love of music that made it happen.
