Editing: Tracking, fades, and EQ were done while the show was laid in Sony Soundforge 9.0a (Build 297) as a wav file.

Misc. Notes:
This is another installment in my "vindication" series-- that is-- it is a tape of an artist who I have taped before, and who's previous tape was less-than-ideal sounding. The first time I caught Roky was very near exactly two years ago, on Nov 5, 2012 at DC's Black Cat. I seem to recall that he was touring with a different band for that last show and I must say I really preferred The Hounds of Baskerville. The show felt much more alive than the last time I saw him. There is a little bit of stage sound that finds its way onto this recording, but overall I am happy with the way this tape sounds. I have included a photograph of the setlist, but really, Roky went so far off the setlist that it's really just for decoration!
