The not so good news, it was VERY, VERY windy for the first 1/3 of the show, there are definitely wind phasing issues on the recording.

I used the "big phat shure windscreens" to tame the wind howl, but the phasing issues are what they are.

And I should mention again that what followed was more wind, rain, more wind, rain, chatty asshats, more wind, rain, chatty asshats... You get the picture. It wasn't supposed to rain so there was no umbrella in my kit. I started to abort a few times but toughed it out, the mics remained dry, the windscreens did not.

The recording is not a "throw away" but it is definitely not my finest taping hour. Take it for what it is and enjoy a nice, albeit short show.

Thanks to The Black Crowes for allowing us to tape their performances and to share the recordings.
