Notes - Taper: This venue has extremely tight security, with cops patting down everyone. It took five people to get my rig in. Unfortunately Jambi is cut from my recording. We got the rig up just as Stinkfist started, however my levels on preamp were hot. I corrected my levels by Forty-Six & Two, with some fluxations. Please enjoy, for this was a difficult venue. Thanks to my friends who helped smuggle in the equipment. This recording is not to be sold, EVER.
Notes - Galen: If this recording was not missing Jambi & did not have clipping on Stinkfist it may very well be a contender for one of the best sounding sources from this leg of the tour. Unfortunately, it does have the aforementioned issues that detract from the overall product. It is what it is. The audio is near-pristine (once the taper got his shit straight; the vocals are warm, the guitar is hot, the bass is cool & Danny's drumming is spot-on. A pleasant listen. Definitely not only for collectors but for even the casual fan as well. All in all, could be better (if it was complete) but it is what it is. On a positive note, the special effects used on Rosetta Stoned are *super* clear on this recording; a detail that many recordings lack.
