Tech:

SBD is a nice mix, front CAM sounded excellent too.

The back CAM seemed to have a 10-20 ms compression attack-release that was overloaded by the boom-of-the-room. I controlled what I could but didn't want the "pumping" that competeing compression can often cause. In some spots (like the boom-boom of the kick in the start of "...Hatchet...") you can hear it pump in and out, but really not a big deal. And there is no phasing of the three sources.

One of the cams had occasional digi-blip skips. Not sure if it was the CAM or the burn to DVDR that caused it. I fixed some but I know a few got through. It's minor.

Each CAM cut-out for a tape change, and the front CAM stopped often during the lengthy audience passages at the end of the show. I did what I could to make these sections as flow as consistent as possible. One of them worked flawlessly, the other I did notice a slight change.

This version will also contain two distinct "fixes" that I won't do on the DVD: 
- The feedback wail in the middle of "...Race..."
- Ira's near-choke on the intro of "Sometimes..."

Basically for pure listening enjoyment, I just had to make those tiny adjustments. For the video, it'll be 100% pure.
