2011-10-07 Cyndi Lauper HOB Orlando FL flac16
44.1x16bit auto-gain
ZOOM H2n
68:24:65 mins
grade B-/c+ (lots of chatter, some clipping)

House of chatter would be more like it. We had seats in the balcony 6 ft from the stage left spot light. The folks next to us were great but behind us were the usual suspects- glaring at them sometimes help but,..
First time I used the Zoom in concert so I went with stereo X-Y which also picked up the local chatter- fucking concerts haven't changed since the 60's with everyone treating it as a social meet. I now wish I 'd used the low-cut filter since it sounds like the unit breaks up at low/hi ends- even tho I did used auto-gain for volumn control.
I put the wind screen on the unit covering the recording lights and set it right next to my drink on the table top. A handky balled up in front of the control panel was good camo in a dark room so the sound should have been unobstructed. Positioned along the line of the stage in balcony was left sided sound- would have preferred a center seat but,..

The show:
Cyndia had command of both her voice and the band, sounding very tight and lively directing the band quite well.
There are two lengthy pauses in the music- Cyndia had spontaneously come into the audience (pit) twice with no plan to get her on/off the stage. In her outfit I was amazed she could do it and STILL be a Lady (nicely done). Good show!

Overall, I think the venue sucks since I looked around after the show and really didn't see either a good position (unobstructed)or a decent seat/spot to watch a show. Well, maybe the floor but then the crowd noise,..

I tried and hope you can enjoy. Help with the setlist always appreciated.
