Dave Matthews Band and Tim Reynolds
Saturday August 23, 2008
The Pavilion – Phoenix, AZ

Recorded by Eric and Sarah Gardner, Section 303 Seats 13 & 14

Zoom H2, 120 degree (rear) mics (wav, 44.1 kB), low gain, recording level 115, with windsock > SanDisc > PC > CD Wave Editor (split tracks) > TLH (Align on Sector Boundaries checked, Encoding Level 6)

Notes: A very hot night and the passing of founding member and saxophonist LeRoi Moore on August 19, 2008 brought on a strong performance by the band. It rained a little and then the wind kicked up. I haven't noticed that either affected the recording too much (I heard one good thud that I suspect was a raindrop hitting the windsock, but I haven't listened to every second of it yet either). Clapping is minimal, but there were two women in the row right in front of me that talked constantly (it is apparent at times during the recording, but not terrible). They obviously were not big DMB fans; obvious by comments about “Let's hear some, like, good tunes like ????” and “He's from Australia, dude, I'm telling ya...”. Oh well, I don't think it ruins the recording by any means. Kinda funny.
