DOH! I was accidentally in record-hold on the R-09 for the majority of the interview/conversation. I discovered my mistake in time to record the last 39 minutes of the event, which includes the end of the interview, audience Q&A, and the musical portion of the evening.

I had to bring the volume up on this recording quite a bit, as well as drop the volume of the applause sections to make it listenable. Obviously, this wasn't Motorhead, so the music sections of this performance weren't very loud.
