NOTES

To seamlessly join the two discs, simply remove D1T16 and D2T01.

Set up at the back of the dance floor, just in front of the first row of booths. A little slow un-pausing the recorder...missed the applause as Josh came on stage and began recording just a couple notes after he started plucking his guitar. I applied volume envelopes to keep the far LOUDER crowd applause under control. Some worked very well, others...just okay. Unedited master avaiable by request.
