Notes:

At about 1:15 into the recording, the screen goes black and the filmer can be heard saying something to his friend. I took the files into Audition and tried to EQ the music out of the mix, so I could make out what he says. It sounds like:
1:24: "I'm gonna go down and see if there's a better seat on the floor."
1:39: "I'll be back."
5:45: "Yeah, ???? down there. Let's walk around and ???. Got everything? Got the battery?"
6:54: "Oh, fuck." "What?"
Video comes back briefly from 7:08 - 7:35, but other than that it's just a black screen for the whole show.

The DVD that circulates loops back to Surfacing at the end of Spit It Out (around 24:05). I made an MKV from the VOBs and trimmed out the repeated section. I also took this opportunity to increase the volume a bit in Audition, as it was quite low. Original audio is retained on Audio Track 2. All edits were done losslessly.
