I was arriving at the show as the first song was playing. So I started the recording as I walked up.
There is some stereo panning on some parts (couldn't keep from dancin').
Track 7 has some fidelity loss as I went for a beer. (sorry, I was thirsty). If you remove track 7 you can fit the show on one CD.

The overall sound and performance is very good.
