Notes:

I added gain during the second track where I had originally decreased levels at the show. Original WAVE files were dithered from 24/48 to 16/44.1 using the the UV22HR algorithm.

I was impressed because I saw three of the most impressive cup tosses in my life. The firt toss came from about 40-50 yds back. As the cup travelled this huge rainbow path (maybe 25 ft high) you could see that it was half full, and wasn't losing anything during flight. The plastic cup crashed about 2 feet from the feet of the keyboards/trumpet/accordian/guitar player, the cup seem to explode and the liquid went everywhere. I've seen a lot of cup tosses, but this one takes the cake. About 30 minutes later, I saw the exact same thing, and I mean exact. The guy who plays everything gets it again, a half full glass from long range.

Later, as I was standing by the board I see this cup fly over my head and hit the soundboard, juicy shit everywhere. You can hear the guy next to me say "that's fucked up dude. "I heard a crackle on the PA, but the board held up. I was surprised that a few patrons pointed the guy out, I didn't see what ensued but it sounded nasty. I think the audience was pretty lucky, because it sounded like only one channel was toast (a lot of static when they slid the slider). After that it turned into a big shout along by the board (everyday is sunday is the queue for all the really drunk people to tune in I guess), and then some teenage crew had to spill the latest gossip. Despite all this it's still very listenable.

Other random comments:
- Morrissey sweats from his nipples/pecks
- Morrissey tossed two dress shirts into the crowd
- as soon as Morrissey puts another shirt on, the nipple sweat marks show up first
- first time I've seen a crazy guy rush the stage at Verizon Theater
- the sound guy did a great job, the mix sounded great. he didn't drive the PA at the max volume, which was great. I didn't hear the effects of severe gate limiters/compressors
- Morrissey pulled up some chick onstage, then she flipped out and bolted - security tried to grab her and ripped her shirt off, she kept running. I didn't get it at all because Morrissey brought her up on stage from the crowd
