This made taping a lot easier. As usual, the Toad's crowd was rowdy so there is a lot of audience interaction. Fortunately, it's more entertaining than irritating. The background hum is Toad's most excellent ventilation system. I tried removing it but doing so made Tori's vocals distractingly burbly, so I opted to just only remove the tape hiss instead. The hum is not bad -- you'll only hear it at high volumes and through headphones. The tape I used to record the show was not tightly wound so there are a couple spots where the sound "burps" when it unwound quickly. These whirrings are noted below. Finally, you get to hear me yell for "Sweet Dreams" at the beginning of the first encore. Hey, even a taper has to have a little fun too! Despite all the above caveats, this is still a good recording! Setlist: Disc 1: 1. intro (left channel is a bit wonky for first 1:30) 2. Sugar 3. Crucify 4. chat - grandmother 5.
