Recording & Mixing Notes:
Recorded multiple feeds through these rehearsals. Occasional static here and there, most of which has been cleaned up. Clicks and counts have been mostly scrubbed, but you might hear a bit leftover here and there. The quiet nature of rehearsals tend to highlight some of the low-level imperfections that a robust crowd might hide.
Show Notes:
Home stretch of rehearsals with the band moving from PNE over to Rogers arena for 3 final days of rehearsals, and then two shows. However, Larry's father passed away over the weekend, so they made a clone and called him Keith. Keith subbed in for the three rehearsal days, with Larry barely making it back in time for the opening night show. The cloning process wasn't exact, so you'll find Edge giving him a fair amount of extra cues and pointers, and some interesting different drumming styles here and there.
Set 1 is a workshop set without a singer. Edge sings in spot places, and spends a fair amount of time working up the electric version of Mysterious Ways. Crew runs a pre-recorded lead vocal track on a few songs.
Set 2 is a full band workshop. Working in the electric version of Mysterious Ways for the first time, after using the acoustic for several weeks. Night ends with big thank you to Keith, and taking pictures with the band.

As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There's no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you're not contributing--pushing 1's and 0's around on the internet is no comparison for taping.

IEM recordings are not for everyone. If not they're not your thing, either sonically or ethically, there's excellent alternative recordings out there.
Similarly, I'm mixing primarily for my ears. This is what sounds best to me. This may not sound best to you. That's a fair statement. I'm open to honest criticism (although you should have caught me when I was working on the mix!), but pointless complaining is unappreciated (naturally). Let's play nice. Or maybe lug in recording equipment and make an alternate mix of your own sources.

Please don't sell this recording in any way - no cash for blanks, 2:1s, or any other form of "getting paid for your time". Just share it freely.
Please don't convert to mp3, then back to wave, and then trade it around. This stuff is too easy to find on torrents now.
Feel free to remaster/remix this recording. Just keep it to your own computer and iPod.
Also, please don't torrent or share on other sites without at least dropping me a line and asking. This includes Youtube and Guitars101! I may want to just torrent/share it there myself. Just ask permission, it's not that hard.
Please ask (and wait for permission!) before putting it into any matrix + video production. If you ask nicely for a quality high-res video project, I will likely say yes. If you put it on YouTube or cell phone video production without asking, I will send my cats from hell to chew your computer cables.

Enjoy y'all!
