Notes:
The sound in the venue was only so-so, IMO--rather muffled and not well-EQ'd, at least where I was.  Location chosen over the assigned taper area behind soundboard, which was practically in the lobby.  Some ventilation noise present.  There is some brief clipping in some of the loudest sections of applause.  Most of this was successfully repaired, but some distortion is still present.  Some clipping also present at the start of Mark's clogging in "Up on Cripple Creek." d1t12 and d2t10 were performed acoustically with a single mic.  EQ and compression (Waves L2) applied lightly.
