Digging out some old recordings for my own enjoyment and thought I'd post them here too. Most will re-posts but some might never have got torrented first time around.

Wavelab was used to do the fades, add a little treble boost and bass cut. I also used the "Puncher" plug-in on its default setting. Audacity was used to gently fade up tracks 14 and 15.
I've split and faded the tracks so that 'cd1' ends with track 12.

Unbelievable that the mighty Cale should be struggling to sell out the 450-capacity Academy 3 but it meant that those smart enough to attend were treated to a fantastically intimate performance.

No sound issues to speak of, no gobby audience members, just a high energy stroll through one of the most impressive back catalogues in modern music. I would've liked to have heard more from Hobo Spaiens but such is life.

Many thanks to the good people at http://blogger.xs4all.nl/werksman/, from where I filled in the gaps in my tracklisting.
