This recording is a previously uncirculated master.

Recorded from approximately the 25th row orchestra >> ECM-717 >> Sony MZ R-30 MD (SP) >> RNC 1773 compressor >> Tascam CD-RW700 >> AIFF >>FLAC level 8

The audience was particularly enthusiastic on this show, so the master required a bit of fader-riding and compression to tame those clapping peaks. I did my best. Someday I'll do this type of editing digitally, but until that time the RNC Compressor is my best friend. Without further ado, here's one fine show-complete and uncut-from a master performer.
