Please Note: Available recordings have been mastered to correct for volume shifts, drop outs, etc. but some sonic anomalies will still exist, especially early in the set when the mix is being settled. The band has rated each show for sound quality and set the general price of a download at $5 per show. If you have a different price in mind feel free to utilize the alternative pricing option.
The second gig of the 1998 spring US tour. For the occasion, the band set up in the Rangos Ballroom at Carnegie Mellon University, and performed a benefit for the CMU Radio Station Tower Fund.
The recording starts off rough with mostly drums in the mix, but balances out after a few songs.
Once the mix settles (during Styrofoam), the experience really flows and is most enjoyable. Even before that I had fun listening closely as Brendan sets the pace on his drum kit. Crank up the volume and you get to feel the throbbing heart of the rhythm section.
Note that Ian drops the ball on the opening chords of a couple of songs (Bulldog Front, KYEO) and that some songs suffer from sonic irregularities or sudden volume shifts (e.g. By You, Rend It, KYEO), but these might very well be due to sound man Nick Pellicciotto playing around for effect.
As to the set list, End Hits is the main album of choice here, with no less than 9 songs thrown in and the other albums being notably less or even just marginally represented.
