Nick Reynolds - Harmonica

This was my first time out taping and is also my first time uploading here so something is certain to get screwed up.

The show was an opening slot for Tennessee Three, which will become evident if you listen to the show.

Location was about 20 feet from the stage, slightly left of center.

Overall I was very happy with the recording, there is some audience talking, mainly due to me arriving late and failing to secure a good location, but it doesn’t really detract from the quality of the show. It sounds very slightly Bass heavy to my ears, but that was the way it sounded in the venue, despite the lack of a bass player.

It was regarded by a number of people I attended with to be the best show the band, in its acoustic format, that they have heard, and these guys have seen this band a lot.

I have done nothing to this recording, other than split tracks, partly because I like the way it sounds and partly because I know nothing about the post production side of things.

Please be aware that the lead singer likes to curse a lot so if you are listening where ears are delicate, headphones are advised.

Please bear with me as my upload speeds are wildly varying. Hopefully I will get a decent speed for this upload.

Hope you enjoy.
