Recording notes from Crewboy: 

It was pouring rain for hours before the (outdoor) show started, and for about 
half of the first set.  Until d1t5, the microphones were covered by the hood of 
a poncho.  During the crowd noise between d1t4 and d1t5, the poncho was removed 
when the rain stopped.  Before that point, high-end treble sounds are a bit 
muffled (especially in the cymbals and hi hats).  After this point, the recording 
is much better.  Sorry that it happened this way; but keeping the microphones 
under an umbrella wasn't an option, and this was the only way of keeping the 
microphones dry in the pouring rain.

The first two songs of the second set also have some issues.  Some guy carrying a big
bag of Ben & Jerry's personal Ice Cream pints was walking through the crowd,
vending them...so he was yelling into the microphones (as were people who were
trying to buy ice cream from him).  Also, several minutes later, some young kid 
OD'd or some such thing; he got really sick (vomiting literally right in front of 
me etc.) and collapsed.  His friends weren't doing anything about it, so we had 
to really force them to get him out of the "pit" and get some help.  When they 
finally did take him to get help, they kinda jostled us all...on top of the fact
that they were yelling to each other, which may have gotten picked up by our 
microphones ("hey man, want another hit?" "dude, let me have some ice cream") 
for most of the first song (up until they left).  Sorry if there's evidence 
of this on the recording; evidence of this encounter is most visible on d2t5 
between 8:06 and 9:42.
