You can hear the torrential rainstorm during some parts of track 20-22

There were extreme winds during this set, and while my thick windscreens can handle pretty high winds, they can't handle winds of this strength, so there were some occasional gusts on the recording and the wind was also being picked up by the stage mics and coming out through the PA quite often.  I did my best to minimize the worst wind gusts with very targeted bass rolloff EQ on tracks 16 (@3:13) and 22 (@1:50, 4:29).
