An acidjack master recording

Equipment: CSBmod>D8 (16/48)
Position: I think something like 40th row center, but I could be wrong…
Mastering: DATM>DA20mkII>LynxONE>Audition>Flac Frontend>FLAC>Audacity (tracking, EQ, amplify channels, set fades, downsample)>FLAC (level 8)

A relatively short show at under two hours, perhaps owing to the fact that it was August in North Carolina and therefore hot as balls (which Ed references from stage a couple times). Nonetheless, tightly paced and jam-packed with some of this band's best, plus a pretty rare "Footsteps". Every time I want to by cynical about bands of this size, I listen to a show like this and remember how powerful music can be even in a mass environment.

I am somewhat haphazardly seeding my 1995-2000 masters on here as time goes on. For those who have old tapes and haven't started doing this, please think about sharing. The fact is, the stuff only has value if people are getting to hear it. And even more importantly, those tapes (not to mention your hard drives) aren't going to be in good condition forever. ENJOY!

Sound on this one is surprisingly good considering - I brightened it up a bit and trimmed the bass, but that's about it.
