A personal project combining these two sources to make up the complete show. I used rec 1 for the primary source because it sounded a bit more well-balanced to my ears compared to the thinner-sounding rec 3; rec 3 was used to fill the missing pieces. Aside from that, both sources were in need of a great deal of speed correction, particularly rec 1. Anyone familiar with rec 1 can no doubt recall the horrendous speed problems during 'Pigs' in particular.

Here are the details of the work done to create this:

- MAJOR speed correction on ATD throughout - was particularly bad during P3DO
- increased volume on rec 3 to better match ATD
- blended in roughly the first 50 seconds of Sheep from rec 3
- blended in roughly 20 seconds from rec 3 between Sheep and POTW1
- blended in roughly 55 seconds from rec 3 between Dogs and POTW2
- blended in roughly 20 seconds from rec 3 between POTW2 and P3DO
- blended in roughly 30 seconds from rec 3 after P3DO
- blended in roughly 30 seconds from rec 3 before SOYCD 1-5
- blended in roughly 35 seconds from rec 3 between WttM and HAC
- blended in roughly 8 seconds from rec 3 between HAC and WYWH
- blended in roughly 25 seconds from rec 3 between WYWH and SOYCD 6-9
- blended in the end of SOYCD 6-9 from rec 3 and performed major speed correction
- removed a few minutes of crowd noise from rec 3 before the encore and then blended ATD back in during the tune-up before Money

This was a very time-consuming endeavor mostly due to the speed problems, but this significant concert warranted the effort. Hope you enjoy it.
