$    First ~six seconds cut.  Sorry :(
!    Ryan Adams (solo)
@    An obnoxious audience member wouldn't stop bitching at Ryan throughout the
     entire show.  Ryan put up with it until the "yeah muthafucka" remark, at
     which point he stopped playing Wonderwall mid-verse and moved on to The
     Hardest Part.
#    Ryan Adams (intro solo)

The venue mix was, to put it lightly, absolutely horrible.  The bass was more
than twice as loud as it should have been, and I couldn't seem to shake that
from the recording.  Ryan was visibly frustrated with the sound of his guitar at
several points during the evening, as was evident after every song and during
many songs, when he would go over to the amps and play with the knobs.

Thanks to Chris G. for helping me with the setlist and to Katie for helping me
get a ticket.

See ya'll in Jersey on the fourth.
