It rained for the whole festival up until New Riders came on. I had the option of setting my rig up under the tent because the tent stage speakers were pumping the music but they were way less quality then the big stage speakers. I could have gone to the edge of the tent and pointed them at the big stage but that wouldn't have been good. So I got my umbrella and staked my claim in the rain and mud, dead center, and waited for the Riders. As they came out the rain went away. It was amazing! And they gave me just enough time to pack up my gear after the show before it started raining again. I saw one other set of mics there and they were off to the side, under the tent, in front of the sound board (Which was in a horrible spot for sound which may account for the few quirks in the first song). They probably belonged to the band so this is most likely the only recording that will be circulated.
*(The Wav checksum has the right data but the filenames need to be corrected to make them work...change NRPS10-08-05 to nrps2005-10-08 on each of the files)
