Note: Audio recorded by War Throat is superb! Seriously worth listening to all by itself. Unfortunately, video was from my old crappy camera, and conditions made it worse. It could never handle heat, and it was hot that night. Had two meltdowns in 2nd set. Moving figures beneath the stage tricked its focus to be on the mosh more than not. It tends to throw a frame under strobes, and it was strobing for over half the show. With that in mind, when it came time to author the DVD, I chose to uphold the audio settings to DVD maximum (PCM, 16/48), and forced all the compression onto the video. Video is mostly a furry fireball, but that most excellent audio track saves the day.
