That's it. Next time I will use Ardour.
It would be very nice to split a 90-minute liveset up into multiple, song-length
WAV's, but it was too much hassle to do that in Audacity. I suspect it'd be very
easy to do in Ardour.
I ended up using Audacity, and ended up with two huge files:

In FLAC format for your high-fidelity enjoyment.

Don't forget the CD markers -> TOC export for creating CDs easily with
Ardour. Works great for live CDs where you want to add track
boundaries with no gaps for disk-at-once burning.
Good call on Ardour; I probably would have had
the easiest time working
with this file in Ardour. Ardour is sweet. But for just editing one long
audio file, it seemed a bit like overkill. Also, I'd be too tempted to
overdub onto it, which is a no-no for a live recording :-)
There are actually very good reasons to use ardour for post-processing of
live-recordings:
- Its completely non-destructive, even if you slice your 2-hour-file into
10-seconds snippets and rearrange them and delete them one-by-one, you still
don't loose the material. Yes, you should have backups, but who knows...
- Its _very_ easy to apply mastering effects over the whole session. (And
with the jamin-control-plugin you can change settings between songs.)
- And all editing on effects and automation is non-destructive too. That is
very nice compared to clicking "apply effect (silence)", having the computer
work for ten minutes and the realize that a) its the wrong effect and b)
the "create undo" wasn't selected.
- ardour is definitely not trying to load the whole 2-hour file into ram...
