Record Notes: Recorded from stereo mics clipped to hat 6 ft. from the ground spaced 6 inches apart.
The show was recorded about 80 ft back from stage in the right balcony in the audience. My iRiver
record level was set to 2 and my volume input level on my battery box at 75%.

Show Notes: They started off with no opener. The crowd cheered in anticipation when they heard 
the Fistfull anthem. They played mostly new songs in the beginning of the show. The songs sounded
good, as I have not heard the new unreleased album yet like much of the crowd obviously had. The
crowd new the new songs. Omar had a bit of tech trouble a few times during the show. It really cut
in to the drawn-out jam feel of their typical style show. Track No. 9 off of disc 1 was one of the
better songs from the new Amputechture album.

new drummer: Blake Fleming
