Notes

An excellent matrix recording of an in-ear monitor feed and two audience recordings. Tracks 3, 4, and 5 include partial IEM in the matrix because of issues with the recording. As a result, they sound somewhat inconsistent overall because the audience recording fills in the gaps.

Click track has been removed where feasible, but a click here and there is still occasionally heard, and there is a hi-hat guide track during My Cosmos Is Mine and Wagging Tongue heard before the kick drum starts. Some songs also have a tiny bit of cowbell guide heard in some spots.

Starting with the last third of It's No Good, the IEM recording becomes stable and the rest of this recording becomes consistent sounding.

To allow a customized version of this recording, three bonus versions of It's No Good are included if you wish to eliminate the audience/partial IEM tracks for your own listening version: one which fades-in at the beginning of the IEM portion at the last third of the song where the consistent IEM joins the mix; the next is the same but without the fade-in; and one which is pure audience up until the consistent IEM begins. Additionally, if you dislike the inconsistency of the other partially IEM matrixed tracks but still want to have a complete recording, you can swap in the "audience only" tracks from either Source 2 (which is a matrix of just the two audience sources) or Source 3 (DMLiveWiki's recording).

Immense thanks to bias for his countless hours spent on creating this matrix, and many thanks to fried_morals and Anonymous for recording Source 4 and the IEM recording, respectively.

An audience matrix of DMLiveWiki's and fried_morals's audience recordings can be found at Source 2.

Both of the audience recordings used for this matrix are available individually as Source 3 (DMLiveWiki) and Source 4 (fried_morals), respectively.
