{2} with start/stop jamming
{3} vocal jam ended with a vacuum solo which segued into a short rendition of The Lion Sleeps Tonight




Editing: None, I'm backed up on shows and the quality of this one just warrants burning down to CD direct. There are two things to mention though. 1) At 37:28 (entire show), or during "Stash" at 4:07 (track expired time) a ballon came into the tapers section and for some reason the taper in front of me decided to throw it back in the air (who knows why), it popped when it hit someone else's mics but was in a direct path with my left side. The noise bleeds onto both channels and needs to be removed. 2) At points during song breaks the mic's zero in on an individual clap, but no clipping occurs, perhaps applying a gate would be advised. 


Tech Notes: In using the 110 degree angle of the ORTF method and being behind the board it created a very roomy ambiance sound. The audience can actually be distracting at parts. However it makes for an interesting version of "Stash" as well as the break during "Divided Sky". I hope you want an AUD recording because this is hyper AUD. ORTF really doesn't work at that distance inside. Sorry but I had to try it!!!
