## Notes

Midnight North played a solid opener for today's festival. I must have been distracted during the second tune, since I didn't scribble anything down that would help me ID it. Thankfully, Jon Hart had the show up on the [Live Music Archive](https://archive.org/details/MN2017-08-06.MidnightNorth2017-08-06.flac16) by the time I got around to fixing up my notes for this post, so I could crib from him. _Roaming_ was probably the highlight of the set: they really laid into that one!
