Notes: Despite a great deal of adversity from the venue, the crowd & a somewhat less-than-"here" performance by Tool, this recording is in & of itself a worthy listen even when compared to the plethora of high quality recordings floating around from this era. Of particular interest is that the voice effects from Swamp Song are very evident in this source (I think this is the same effect as on Rosetta Stoned). Strong mid-range with a clear definition, however, this recording may be a bit too "tinny" for some listeners. The bass is evident but it is more of a thud rather than something with depth. Vocals apparently more pronounced in the recording than some reported it to be live. All in all, quite a fine listen.

Maynardism: "Thank you very much for coming down. Can't wait to see you next summer..."
