Notes

• Audience recording by Audioarchivist.
• Source #1 (main): Genexxa 33-3007 electret unidirectional condenser microphones (retagged Shure Prologue 16L's) in backpack pockets on lap > custom XLR-to-1/8" mini jack > Sony MZ-R70 MD recording walkman (atrac compression, manual record levels set fairly low) flat transfer with minor volume tweaks.
• Source #2 (patches): Apex 162 stereo mini condenser microphone mounted in hat > Radio Shack 6 foot gold 1/8" mini extension > Sony MZ-R37 MD recording walkman (atrac compression, auto record levels) processed in Wavelab 5.01b (level balance and boost, 25% X-ternalizer, 20% stereo expander, spectralizer custom preset, limiter).
• Recording location: Section 306 (side stage left, or the right side if facing stage) a few rows up and closer to the front than the back.
• Transfer: Playback of all MD masters from MZ-R37 line audio output > Gold Radio Shack 1/8" mini-to-rca jacks > gold Radio Shack rca-to-1/4" plug adapters > Echo Gina24 24/96 Multitrack recording audio interface > Wavelab 5.01b recording at 24 bit 48 khz sample rate.
• Editing: The levels were raised in Wavelab on the first few songs of the main source that had misadjusted record levels, and crossfaded to the second source for a brief moment at the end of "Running With The Devil" until the beginning of "Romeo Delight" to patch the spot where the main deck was paused to manually raise the recording levels on it. There is a longer patch that was crossfaded to at the end of "Hot For Teacher" through the first 45 seconds of "Little Dreamer" due to a main deck MD swap in progress. The second vastly inferior patch source was processed to sound more like the main source. In reality it sounds nothing like the main source and is far worse with distortion and auto-limiting mic level compression. The main source is unaltered except for the small level adjustment. Tracks split in Wavelab.
• Redbook CD version: Downsampled and dithered from 24bit 48 kHz to 16 bit 44.1 kHz with the SoX ReSampler via Foobar2000 for resampling from 48 khz to 44.1 khz (passband 95.2% disabled aliasing 25% phase response very high quality) > iZotope RX advanced for dithering from 24 bit to 16 bit (MBIT+ ultra noise shaping normal dither).
• There are split-second gaps between the tracks, which usually means that the audio has been sourced from something lossy like MP3s. A frequency analysis shows that most audio frequencies above 16KHz are missing. It is unknown if the reason for this is the original Mini-Disc recording, or if there has been some other lossy conversion before this show was put to CD.
• The front cover shows a publicity shot of Edward that was used for selling sneakers that has been desaturated. A swirl VH logo with flames is present along with the date and location information at the bottom.
• The inside of the booklet is a cartoon drawing of the Sammy Hagar era Van Halen by John Rios.
• The back of the booklet is the Van Halen logo used during the 2004 Sammy Hagr reunion tour.
• The rear cover shows a stage shot of David Lee Roth with his red hat along with the track listing.
• The under-tray artwork is the yellow swirl logo and shadowy guitar image that was used to promote the "Best of Volume 1" CD release.
• The CDs contain the same 2004 swirl logo that is on the back of the booklet, along with a "CD One" and "CD Two" indication.
• Alternate artwork exists, titled "Dynamite in Vancouver". The front is a collage shot with Dave, Wolfgang, and Edward in front of a red light. The rear has the track listing over a diamond steel plate texture.
