Notes:
What a show!
Kansas were on fire for this show, perhaps to help melt some of the excess
snow left over from February 6th when the show was originally scheduled.
Now for the boring technical lingo. The show sounds fantastic overall,
however some adjustments were made to the raw source.
For starters the show was eq'd to the point that the show has great clarity.
Next, the person to my immediate left had quite a few loud shouts and claps
which rose well above the average level. So at times I ended up making the
show mono (by making right channel = both channels) in order to reduce the
effect of the noise.
Once that was done, as well with slight peak reduction on some other noises,
the show was normalized and slight hard-limiting was done.
Finally, you'll notice some phasing and finally a slight change in overall
sound during Carry On My Wayward Son. This is because at the start of the
song people started going down to the front of the theater knowing it was
the last song, and I went down to join in the festivities.
Despite a slight drop in sound quality I think the crowd up front gave the
song some great energy that makes up for it, plus, if you want a better
recording of the song from the tour, I have a sneaky suspicion they'll be
playing it at later shows. :p
Please do not sell this show or convert to lossy formats.
