Set length [125:54]

NB - the tracking here could well be hopelessly inaccurate. There are several lengthy tracks which could easily be two or even three songs.
In particular, Ashen Snow is substantially longer than the recorded version.
Any assistance with completing the tracklist would be appreciated. If you can identify further songs within those I've tracked as one song, please could you give some indication of where the track should be split?


Warren Ellis - violin, piano, whooping and hollering, tall tales
Jim White - drums
Mick Turner - guitar

================================================

Well-attended and very enjoyable show.
Dirty Three arrived on stage around 9.30pm. The encore break was around 11pm. Many people left at this point to catch buses and trains, and the crowd continued to diminish through the encores. I've been going to gigs at the Glee Club for many years and I can't ever remember leaving after 11pm - they're usually pretty rigid with their curfew.

Recorded centrally, approx 15 ft from the stage. The sound in the Glee Club is always good and was again here. I was getting a good signal on the recorder - the master wav peaks at approx -3db - but for some reason the recording seems really quiet. It was noticeable that the band were never as loud later in the show as they were during the first 10 minutes.
It's a decent recording with consistent sound but it benefits from being turned up!

And yes, the first word Warren said was 'Fuck'. Set the tone for the rest of the evening really.
