JG Thirwell (a.k.a. Foetus, Steroid Maximus and other incarnations) is one of the most taciturn musicians I've ever seen on stage. Not a word. Not during the performance (a modern string quartett augmented by xylophone, piano, percussion, drums and various samples, Thirwell's active contribution on stage), not afterwards, just a couple of stage bows.

The small Kampnagel KMH venue was nicely filled but not too much, the audience quiet, creating very good recording conditions, very litte audience chatter, a few bottle noises from the bar.

Recording levels were fine except for some of the loud drum parts (tr 04 min 7, 11 and 12 - 14) when I had exceeding levels on the right channel, but only by the drums and high hat, so it didn't really result in any distortion and rather then replace it by the left channel I left it as it is. Lowered the recording levels slightly afterwards, and corrected that (+ 1,5 dB tr 05 onwards).

I cannot offer a setlist, maybe somebody who owns the records can help.
