Notes:

DT were one of the few good bands at the fest among tons of crap core and just generally shitty bands. I personally went to the fest mainly for them, Bad Religion and the camping.

There was a technical issue in the beginning of Bridges in the Sky, which was very obvious but got resolved rather quickly and you can hear the crowd liking it.
Set list was quite short, 75 mins, exactly the time they had according to the program, but then again, when was a DT set long enough.
The sound was surprisingly good for an outdoor show, nice and clear, there was no wind so the recording came out pretty damn good. Mangini seemed to have a very good night. He was ripping it, improvising here and there and playing with tons of energy. In essence, a very good show ... as always ... wish it was a bit longer.
Cheers and enjoy!

This recording was made for fans by fans. Trade freely, don't buy or sell, or convert to lossy formats, unless for personal use.
