    <reviewbody>Great job. I see that you used noise reduction on the final mix. I don't know what the original sounded like, and i don't know what the trade off is, but i would be very careful with that because you can lose a lot of detail with that filter. Of course, the last time i used anything like that was pre-2000, so maybe the technology is better than i remember. :D

Also, from what i've downloaded of other bands, i think its fairly common to set the track at the actual beginning of the song and leave the talking intro as part of the end of the last song. That way, when you're clicking through on a cd, you can go straight to the music. I'm not sure if this is standard or not, but i think its a nice touch and something you might want to try with your next concert.

No complaints, everything is just as i remembered it. (yeah, i was there. :D) Keep up the good work.</reviewbody>

    <reviewbody>With the Mountain Goats, John Darnielle is a compulsive talker. That's part of his charm. Some of the time, he introduces his song with some story about the song, or explaining some obscure lyric. As a die-hard Mountain Goats fan, I want the banter at the beginning of the song not the end.</reviewbody>
