Another of the top performances and an exceptional recording. One of the best of the tour. It is pretty safe to say that there is NOTHING wrong with this Aud tape, and this is the reason we all like Aud tapes to begin with. A spectacular capture from one of the best of the Rochester Tapers. All that's been changed here was to slightly retrack this and do a little volume adjust from the big crescendo in Ritual to the end. The taper gently lowered the volume during the loudest part of Ritual, and there is a little clipping there but it isn't a problem.

PLAT THIS LOUD AND ON A VERY GOOD STEREO.

This was the end of a weekend playing 2 of New York's finest venues which followed 2 days in New Jersey playing 2 very 'New Jersey' venues. Surely Weds & Thurs in New Jersey, a weekend off, followed by Sat & Sun in New York contributed to the spirits of the band and the performances here. SPAC is a gorgeous amphitheater and the weather was perfect... for mosquitoes. One of the highlights of the show was no fewer than a half-dozen dragonflies diving and dipping around the crowd and eating the bugs that were eating the crowd.
