(no encore, probably due to curfew).

Notes: Bobby forgot a LOT of words, for instance in El Paso; at
one stage Mark walked over to remind him, but plenty of other times
during the show there is audience reaction at Bobby forgetting
YET AGAIN!

Editing: I ran an FFT filter in Cool Edit Pro principally to improve
the bass.

The FFT filter settings were: +14.76db @ 21Hz, +14.76db @ 86Hz, +3.84db @ 482Hz,
+3.84db @ 4046Hz, -0.72db @ 8007Hz, +2.02db @ 11047Hz, +13.46db @ 15928Hz,
+0.02db @ 22050Hz, with the "spline curves" box ticked. The 2nd set values
were all 3db less (as I adjusted the recording level up, between sets).
After the FFT changes I found 3 overloaded peaks were restored / limited in CEP.

I used a different FFT filter to bring the sound from the patch source into
line with the primary source, and also delayed the right channel in order to
shift the sound into the centre. The resulting patch is I think pretty smooth.

By comparison with the original .shn set of the unpatched primary source, only
the tracks from Slipknot! onwards are changed. (Slipknot! because it was tracked
differently, Bass/Drums on account of the patch, and the subsequent tracks due
to sector boundary realignment.

To burn this recording to a longer media, you may wish to exclude the fade tracks
(d2t08b and d3t00), which are redundant. (They just make the experience of
listening to each CD individually somewhat smoother).

==========
Converted flac files to .wav then flac, and added tags using mp3tag
Renamed files to change "rd" prefix to "Ratdog " and updated cuesheets accordingly
Remomved lossy interview from cuesheet #3
Created flac fingerprint file
Created new md5 file
Added shntool output (below)

The original fileset included a lossy-sourced interview (from
ebong.org); this is not included in the 2013 files.
