iPhone 4 w/ im2 Mic -> File Share to iTunes -> Cool Edit Pro for editing/normalizing (to zero decibles)-> CD Wave Editor for tracking -> TLH for encoding flac level 8 on boundaries.

Recording caveat: We arrived at the venue met with a long line to get in. Once in a our seats (row z in front of sound board on ground level), there was 15 minutes left until showtime. My wife who had snuck the iM2 mic in her clutch purse went to the ladies room.  Unfortunately the show started and she wasn't back. I was forced to get the first song without my mic. Then she returned with a beer. This is never a good thing- this means that if I drink it I'll have to pee before the show is finished, which I did and I had her hold it (the iPhone that is) during Mother of Muses. Anyway, I fumbled with the mic after the first song, thinking this was an easy task to snap it into the 30 pin slot, but not so much in the dark...lots of scratchy sounds, etc. and the second song had already started.  I did the best I could to level out the sound and get rid of the pops during editing.  The rest of the set is much better.  The other issue was the guys about 4 to 5 seats to my right that were obviously having a party...drinking a lot and with bags of popcorn. Others had told them to be quiet but they persisted.  You can hear them from time to time as well as the guy next to me remarking about them.  Great show over-all!  Dylan did well on piano, playing it more and better than I ever recall.  During the band intro, Dylan makes jokes about the Dogwood Festival and Dollywood.  It was my wife's first Dylan show- she's not really a fan, but thought Serve Somebody was his best song- otherwise, she said, that he looked frail. My God! He's 80!!  She was happy to see him once in her/his lifetime.  She would have liked to see him on guitar, but was happy to not hear much harmonica from him.
