note: I had intended to tape onstage but the
FOH engineer had a problem with that although he
did not ask another taper to remove his mics from
stage. I have recorded at Ashkenaz that way several
times in the past without problem but "Alan"
insisted I would get a better recording at the sbd.
That may have been possible if he had mixed the
band well and turned it up enough. The mix is kinda
muddy (hard to hear keys, vocals etc. at times) and
the overall volume hardly rose over the chatty
crowd during quieter moments. That said the
recording is very listenable, I just think I could
have done better "my way".
