DSBD/AUD matrix*: SBD L/R (1/4"->RCA) + AKG C 451 B/ST (10' high, ~70 deg., 12" separation, just FOB on R side of dance floor) -> Edirol UA-5 (Oade P-Mod.) -> DAT @ 16/48 (PCM-M1 record; PCM-R500 playback) -> Tascam CD-RW750 (via coax) -> MCD-R -> PowerBook G4/xAct 1.58 -> FLAC (level 8)

Taped, mastered, and FLAC'd by James Bartoli

*SBD feed only/late start for the first song of the first set. My battery failed at the end of the opener's set and I had to move my case closer to the SBD to grab AC power during the break (the stand stayed in the same place). The band came out before I had finished plugging everything back in, and I had not yet connected the mics. The PCM-M1 finally finished loading and started recording about 10-20 seconds after the band started up. I waited to engage phantom power until the break between the first and second song. The encore was played unplugged at the stage lip. The mic feed levels were adjusted up slowly (though not as evenly as I would like) during the song.
