Timeline notes: First documented performances of 'Carnival Of Sorts (Box Cars)' and '1,000,000'.

Notes:
-Plays fast: adjusted down 3.9%
-Playing flacs on the fly caused all my devices problems.  Decoding to wav and playing was fine.
-MS struggles with mic issues causing him to drop off Ages Of You, which is subsequently aborted.  Between that track and the next, a boisterous albeit small crowd suggests he 'project with your diaphragm' and 'don't be discouraged'  "I'm not discouraged", MS replies "this is just like the 40 Watt".

Grade: A
