Monitor soundboard feed with 2 Crown PZM microphones mounted on the low ceiling over the stage, 2 Nakamichi cm300 microphones (also over the stage) and one other ambient microphone mounted on balcony railing - Live matrix mix. The matrix mix tends to be ambient sounding to add presence to the dry board signal so please don't complain that this doesn't sound enough like a soundboard - it did end up a lot better as a matrix mix than it would have sounded as board or audience alone. Since the mix was done live, this is all that there is... 

Dolby C Maxell UDXLII-S90 cassette > Sony auto-reverse cassette deck. Transferred with Nakamichi Dragon (Dolby C decoded) > Macintosh with DigiDesign AudioMedia III card > Pro Tools > AIFF. FLAC files (level 8) created with xACT (sector boundaries verified). md5 file created with checkSUM+.
