I had to stealth this show due to the super-asshole security/taping policies at KCPA. Unfortunately my mics also got trampled to death at The Hood Internet the night before this, so I was forced to use the built-ins on the R-09. This doesn't sound awesome or anything, but it was a really good show with a great setlist. Check the sample that I will post if you're unsure about sound quality.

Notes:
Sound is greatly improved after some EQ, but is still not that good. It was probably helped a lot in the first place by the excellent acoustics in Krannert. I applied large volume boosts to tracks 2, 9, and 14 due to the extremely low levels in the hall. This was one of the best shows out of the whole festival. The encore ended with the band walking through the crowd with maracas, eventually leading everyone out into the lobby (you can hear me walk right by Ira at around 12:30 of Nuclear War). There is some very occasional shouting near the mic (notably at the beginning of Pass the Hatchet), but it isn't too distracting.
Don't sell, etc
