Notes:
Well it was april fools day so I checked my rig extra carefully, then checked it again just to be sure.
This was going to be something special, I could feel a good night coming on :)
I arrived early and alone, and for once made sure I got a really good seat - a good seat for taping that is !
Steve came on to enthusiastic applause, announced that the first set would be a solo effort - one man
and his guitar, then proceeded to play a 44 min blinder including a number of medleys, and more than a
hint of the odd genesis number.
After the intermission the full trio played a 72 mins ish set with some truely stunning pieces, and again
quite a few genesis flavours here and there.

What was done:
Ok - Disc 2 track 12 starts with a story which is cut slightly short on account of my having to remove some
beer from my system (when you gotta go ...) - it is a small cut and hardly noticable.
Other than that I just tidied things up a bit - the eq was spot on and needed no adjustment - I did boost
the overall level a little as I erred on the side of caution whilst recording - No noise reduction was applied or needed (that's the beauty of digital recording !).
I also edited out several whistles and a guy being a prat - these edits a totally seamless and nothing is
missed whatsoever.

This was a magnificent show, and the recording came out very well indeed - probably one of my best
efforts to date. If anyone can fill in the names of the unknown tracks then please do so, but other than
that I would appreciate that when you trade this show you leave everything as you found it - ie include
the md5's and this info file, and don't change the names of the actual flac files or the md5's won't work.

Oh yeha - If I catch anyone flogging this on ebay I will personally eat their flesh


Enjoy :)
