The venue is basically a large mobile stage in the middle of a big open field. A light rain falls for the entire show but doesn't affect the recording. The left PA stack is non-functioning for the first 5:14 minutes of Track 1 (Wiser Time). Listen to the crowds reaction after the left stack finally kicks in! Included is photos of the Mic Rig and a POV shot from the recording location to the stage. I was going to do a 2 source mix with my CA Cards and my AT822 x/y Stereo Mic, but as usual, the CA's outperformed the AT822 so much that mixing the 2 sources together would only degrade the overall mix. All the tracks can be assembled together seamlessly onto longer media such as an Audio DVD. There is no fade out at the end of Disc 1, or fade in at the start of Disc 2, but I split the tracks at a quiet part in-between songs.
