Next To You Notes: I had a major mic disaster prior to the Manchester shows. The righ-hand mic of the set I eventually used went faulty a while ago, so a new set were promptly ordered as replacements. Unfortunately, and unbelievably, they never arrived in time, so panic set in a week before the shows in order to source new mics. I obviously failed miserably to obtain a new set (the UK seems to be devoid of mic suppliers suitable for stealthing), so I had to record both shows using my single working mic. The sound during the 1st song was badly mixed from where I was sat, but the remainder of the show was pretty much perfect from then on. My seat was in block B114, row J and I was lucky in that the 4 seats directly in front of me were empty and the people around me never sang a word all night, so the recording is pretty much free from audience noise during the music, other than the usual clapping. SoundForge was used for trimming the start/end of the WAV, normalisation, adding fade-in/out and copying the left channel to replace the missing right channel audio. No equalisation was performed at any stage.
