A SPACEBANDIT field recording

Rec. Info:
OKM2R mics -> Zoom H2n (at WAV 16/44) -> SDcard -> HD -> Audacity (edit/remaster) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...
Recorded by yours truly at 3rd row dead center. Unfortunately the equpiment change did not go too well on this show, so I wasn't able to get front row anymore. Some serious annoying chatter
is audible here and there, and some parts of the crowd were into a kind of agressive drunken mood. Even got KICKED in my back by the moshing little part of app. 10-15 drunks. Not a very nice
place to tape a show, given the fact that the music is not really for KICKING people, at least those who have nothing to do with it. Anyway, that's the reason it's only a field recording,
as I'm not very satisfied with the tape. Some pictures by dear LORD DIE are included as well, as he got the right camera that could not lie (quote: Hawkwind).



SPACEBANDIT'S DOWN HOME BLUES REVIEW

First of all I'd like to express my deepest thanks to all those organizers/volunteers/security people who made this second edition of FREAK VALLEY possible. Thank you very very much,
as last year, despite the difficult weather conditions, it was a place felt like home. Also, a big thanks to the entrance guy who let us park/sleep on the usual ground, just a mere 100
meters walk to the stage. Refreshing "batteries" between acts is a very important thing. And the four of our gang did not leave a ciggy trace there on sundaze morning.
Second thanks to my taping buddies, BLUESHACKS and MIROH, for lifting the burden of ongoing taping day for day from me. YOU both guys did the really hard work, whereas me poor little
soul just managed to do a few of the acts. I wasn't in really good condition, but was I really ever into that? So, when the water went dry (a joke I shouldn't do, regarding the flood
desaster in southern/easter Germany, or Czechia/Poland), there was a great friend of mine, Mr. RENDEL to his advanced service. Hands down, he might give you the best tapes from this.
Oh, well, on a personal note: This festival was visited by a mostly younger crowd, and all the tapers there were at least 44+ of age. Hmmm...that's me. Hmmm...where are the rookies?

So, for the third act of the first day of lovely Freak Valley Festival, the Spacebandit was on taping duties. But as you can read in the Rec.Info, me did not very well. I was simply a bit
pissed from the riotous drunken idiots. Anyway, as ASTEROID are are very fine band from the swedish neo-heavy70's rock music scene, and I like their show at AJZ in Bielefeld almost to
the day one year ago (with lesser equpiment, as the sound here is much more better!), I enjoyed their show. Hard to descripe what makes this different from other bands of that genre.
Maybe their long jams, which are very likely driven by a Grateful Dead spirit, as surely at least the bassplayer knows a lot of those LESHRHYTHMS...
Alrighty, fellow spaceriders, you may follow me on this. Fasten your belts, and off we go...SB.
