Notes:
-- May have had the level set just a tad too high, as there's what sounds like a bit of distortion at times (although the amplitude tops out at -6db, so it may be something else that I'm hearing). Not really noticeable when listening through loudspeakers, more so when listening through headphones. Also, the vocals seem a bit distant-sounding. Overall, I'm happy with the recording, but not ecstatic about it.
-- Absolutely phenomenal performance (although I'd have preferred the mist to've been a little bit louder). And they've been varying the setlists quite a bit, so let's hope more shows from this tour turn up.
-- During "Culling Of The Fold", Colin wrapped his microphone cord around his neck a couple of times, and started jumping around. Seemed to me kind of a dangerous stunt; but I guess the sumbitch lived to tell about it.
-- Cool Sonic-Youth-esque guitar wig-out during "When The War Came".
