--Show Notes--
- Extremely solid showing for their biggest show to date. Fun setlist
with a couple spur-of-the-moment calls. Great all-around energy & fun.
- First time Ryan ever sang 'Thick American Skin', which at this time
did not yet have a title (as you'll hear in the recording).

--Tech Notes--
- There is a fair amount of fluctuating noise in the signal which we are
unable to determine the cause of. It could have been something on stage
that was feeding back into the SBD source, and/or perhaps a dirty power
supply. We couldn't do much to get rid of it without severely degrading
the overall signal, so we left it alone. It's really only noticeable
during the quieter parts. Overall though, it's minimally distracting.
- As noted above where it reads "Official Bleauleg (1)", the '1' simply
indicates that the finishing (ie: mixing & mastering) that went into
making this Bleauleg is of a "1st draft" type quality. Due to the
sheer # of recordings we've done and the demands of the trading world
to get these out there, we simply can't spend an exorbitant amount of
time on each show. Should there be an obvious demand for improvements,
we may opt to release a 2nd revision (and so on) somewhere down the
road. Our Mantra: Nothing is ever final.
