Well, this was an interesting one to tape. TOP always do double headers at The Tralf, with no opener. So, I kind of went in blindly guessing about where my levels should be. To make things more complicated, since the shows are ticketed separately, you need to exit and re-enter for the second show, and get a different spot in the venue. That being said, I think both recordings are pretty good. I don't have much else to say about the actual recording, there is some minor chatter here and there between songs, as you'd expect at any show in such a small venue. The band were really on for both sets, though I was disappointed by the number of repeat songs in the second show (They usually repeat no songs, or 1 or 2 at the absolute most).\

As always, don't sell or convert to lossy.}
