Notes:
This has definitely turned out to be one of my better recordings of 2013, and the sounds that came from the stage are among the most amazing I've ever heard, especially the middle section of Lost River Blues. Oddly enough, it seems like there was one guy absent tonight. No idea why, but on other videos from this European tour there's someone else on stage, on electric guitar (e.g. there are some clips on Youtube from their show in Istanbul, or this session from Belgian radio station Studio Brussel:
http://www.stubru.be/programmas/duyster/Esmerine). I only realized this a couple of weeks later though while searching for footage on Youtube of this night, I actually did not miss him at all. Speaking of the line-up, I took a wild guess on some of the names, as well as the instruments they played. Please correct me if I made any mistakes.
Thanks a lot to Grigio for adding some of his magical mastering tricks to this recording.
Please don't sell!
