Rec. Info:
OKM2R -> ZOOM H2n (WAV 16/44) -> SD card -> HD -> Audacity (edit/remaster) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...
Recorded by yours truly (unfortunately without the aid of a barstool/bartable) at stage edge but a bit right side from the center. Anyway, besides some yelling and clapping here and there
I think (no I know) this sounds pretty fucking awesome for an outdoor tape. There are some minor volume upstairs/downstairs, but that was due to the overall "venue" system.
You'd better judge for yourself, a few crappy pics are included as usual. Oh, before I miss to tell you: Beware of your speakers, this is very bass heavy and a straight in your
face recording. As usual: MADE LOUD TO PLAY LOUD! VOLUME INSTRUCTION: 12 out of 10!

SPACEBANDIT NOTES...

Where to start? A rather 2.5 hours drive to meet the friends in the village below the HOLY MOUNTAIN but a quite very entertaining seven hours in a line waiting to get pulled up
by some tractors through the muddy grounds of the HOLY MOUNTAIN. And it was a real good time in line! Never did I have experienced such a joyful afternoon with unknown lovers of this
mighty fabulous festival in pure joy and fun (and without any mindalterting things!) that those seven hours seed to be like seven minutes! Until I got my car pulled over that muddy ground.
That was where the fun stopped, but luckily the old Ford Mondeo survived once more. Most likely it was "his" last journey to any festival, driven me safely through the last ten years from
show to show. And sometimes to "work"...
My personal BIG thanks are to our campground-crew: Olaf+Alexandra from Hannover, Klaus from Dortmund, Uwe from Kaiserslautern area, the great acoustic guitar slinger Martin from
Bochum, and, of course, my dear brother and lovely sister-in-law M+M for having a real good time! Thanks for support, kindness and love!
Grateful thanks also to my taping buddies Propylaen, kurzrefe and Sunhair for company and support, to all the other tapers I met for nice talk and fun. Of course to fellow psychonaut
Markus from Wetter/Ruhr for backing me up with "silence" at various shows! Amazing to meet such a gentle person! See you soon!All the other nice people I met, like Ralph, Arne and Annelise,
Freddy, Uli, DrIncluding and all I may have forgotten...
At last a real big thanks to the HERZBERG crew, kind security, and the boys and tractorgirls who pulled us up there! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Oh, btw...NO thanks to the asshole chatters at the Patti Smith show 2nd row left side, which made me stop recording for the first time in 12 years of taping! YOU FAGGOTS SUCK! BUGGER OFF!
To all the others...see you again in 2015 at the HOLY MOUNTAIN! SB

I'd like to start my little collection of recordings with the opening act from the main stage, the fabulous BLUES PILLS. Already praised as the "newcomer" of the year, these three guys
and their beautiful singer lady from countries as diverse as Iowa, US of America, France and Sweden put on a fantastic rockin' bluesy psychedelic show that made the audience simply
going nutz. The superb Peter Green inspired guitar work from Dorian, the powerful Maggie Bell flavoured vocals by Elin, the monsterbass from Zack and the thunderous drumming by Andre
(from Truckfighters, who stood in for Corey at these summer festival dates) will rock your mind body and soul to the extreme limit! You just have to listen to the audience freaking out
at the start of "Devil man" which gives you goosebumps on the forehead! Besides their enchanting original songs the band chose two quite unusual cover songs which were a great surprise!
Well, but now let the music do the talking...enjoy the mighty great BLUES PILLS! SB.
