Just fine for a multi-night run where we all were are pushing the envelope. Cool little spanish thing at the end of Scarlet, some other pleasant surprises.

Previously unreleased cassette metal master, played once to tree, now digitized. Nakamichi CM-300s/CP4 Shotguns -> Sony Walkman Pro/TDK MA 90 -> JVC TD-W354 -> Zoom H6 -> WAV 96/24 -> Audacity -> FLAC 96/24.

Only posting in 96/24 to keep the sound quality up, and because I have a big pile to get through... feel free to down sample it with r8brain (a free download,) if you need, but I officially object. (h/t weallen, bt.etree, for r8brain x-ref). Work done using Bose Quiet-Comfort 20 Headphones with NC on, which seems to add some separation and dimension to the sound.

Many people thought this was the best of the run, some think it was the worst of 
the year, hmmm.

The crowd is quite loud at times and there are a number of PA anomalies at:
