Finki 2017
----------
weather report:
Continuous gentle rain on day 1, mix of a bit no-that-gentle rain and no rain at all on day 2.

I recorded Jack Dupon, Neumaier Kranemann & Grosskopf, The Pretty Things, DeWolff, Guru Guru, Arthur Brown. And one song by Ease up Ltd.

Sadly Finkenbach is the reservation of mansplainers and other talkers. Most of the time I managed to steer clear of those but sometimes they get though...

The sound man seems to be a real big kick drum fan, so I had to do some work to make my recordings listenable and to remove a lot of clipping noises.


Arthur Brown
------------
His setlist is getting better every time. As a fan of "Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come" I was on the winner side - 7 songs!

But even more than my other Finki 2017 recordings, this one has turned out a "concerto for kick drum and light background music". Did the mixer wear 'Oropax'? So, after all, sound quality is not perfect and it varies between songs but the vocals sound pretty good.
