Editing notes:

* Show was recorded out-of-phase; show was phase-corrected (to be "in-phase") via Cool Edit Pro

* Re-tracked show by combining in Nero, splitting with CD Wave

* Removed 10 seconds of applause between Track 108 and Track 109 due to significant volume fluctuations (Jim says this may be "gating", where the sound engineers turn on/off the on-stage mics. Either way, it was annoying...but now it's gone.)

* Deleted 22 seconds of applause at beginning of disc/set 2 and faded in with Nero

* Deleted 2:22 of audience applause at the end of Track 301 and faded out with Nero

Additional notes:

* The versions of "Wonderous Stories" (track 204) and "And You And I" (track 205) are performed as part of a medley and are not the full-length original versions

* The entire show runs 164:07...which is unfortunately too long for two 80-minute CDs. Jim thought it would be best to leave set 1 intact on disc 1 (79:46) and set 2 intact on disc 2 (72:41), which leaves the encore (Roundabout) by itself on disc 3 (11:39).

ALD (assisted listening device) soundboard recordings are usually knocked for their "thin" sound quality (high amount of treble, not enough bass), but I don't think that's a real issue here at all. As such, Jim's files have been unaltered for sound quality (i.e., no EQ performed)--if some of you prefer to have more bass in your ALD recordings, I'll let you do your own EQ work since it then becomes a matter of personal taste. As for me, I think the show sounds great, as-is.

Jim Fiesler notes:

(regarding his ALD-SBD shows): "ALDs (fm-sbd) perfect captures in most or all cases..however somewhat lacking bass..more than regular fm..The best place to rec these shows was from the park lot..! the signal was the best there..!"
