Notes:
1. I wasn't allowed to bring my mic stand into the venue, so ended up
duct-taping my mics to a pillar to the right of and about even with
the back of the cage around the soundboard. The mics were about 7'
off the floor, with the right mic pointed directly forward to the
right edge of the stage, and the left mic angled toward the left
edge of the stage.
2. The levels start out a bit low, but come up after a minute or two.
3. It was my first THS show, so I did my best to match up the track splits
with a set list I saw posted on the internet. Any mistakes are mine.
