NOTES:
I thought this recording turned out real nice!  However, after doing everything I realized one thing I forgot... The audio channels (L+R) are reversed.  I had forgotten to swap them.  I don't think it detracts from the recording in any way, but wanted to make you aware of it.  Also, there are 2 points where the audio level and quality changes for a short bit - that is due to me turning my head to follow the show at the other end of the arena (or at the end of my row... Chris Caffery actually stopped right at the end of the row I was in).  Again, not a huge deal.  And at one point you can hear the girls next to me laughing... That was due to the guy in front of us getting up, and realizing the people next to him were older and couldn't easily stand up, he climbed over the chair to exit our row.
