Annotation

Unusually, two very high-quality versions of this live recording exist, both taken directly from the soundboard feed. There is an "official bootleg" by Doughty's camp (sold as a $10 download at the merch table or through a subscription to the drip.fm service) as well as a house-sanctioned recording by prolific Arizona-based Mike Doughty taper Kenny Smith.

Doughty's version was only distributed as a 320kbps MP3, but is mastered at a quite full, high dynamic range. Smith's recording is Apple Lossless, amplified somewhat & then seemingly rolled off around ~21khz. The original paid Doughty release has not been available through official channels for quite some time, but Smith's tape has been on archive.org freely since 2017.

The first track of the "official bootleg" starts about 2 seconds prior to Smith's recording. Any other differences in track split times between the two recorded versions of the show are generally sub-second.
