This was a great set, and the recording is pretty good, although not without it's flaws. As with Nails' set, the recording begins while I'm in the beer line. At the end of track 01, somebody asked me to grab him a beer to save time - I removed my reaction, as it was loud, and nobody needs to hear those 8 seconds. I made my way to the front of the stage in the middle of track 02. I made volume adjustments to the beer line part - you'll likely notice a big change in volume when I get to the front of the stage. From then on, it's pretty good. At the end of track 18, I went to the coat check booth (next to the very side of the stage), to reclaim my belongings. I had a train to catch, and didn't expect to catch the whole set. I wanted to be ready to go. The quality is somewhat lesser (not bad, though) while I'm at the coat check booth, and stays that way until about 1:20 into track 20. Finally, during track 23, I raced to the bar, and managed to get back before the band was back onstage. I made a small edit in the crowd noise track (track 23) - no music or stage noise is lost. While it looks like this recording has the potential to be a shit-show by my description, this is actually a really good capture of Municipal Waste tearing it up. I ended up missing my train, and bicycling home, about 30 miles. It was worth it.
