Rec. Info:
OKM2R -> Zoom H2n (@ WAV 16/44) -> SD card -> HD -> Audacity (edit/remaster) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...and the black smokin' devil man...
Recorded by yours truly at first row a bit on the right side. Fine recording with almost nothing to complain. A few strange crackling noises of unknown origin occur before some tracks,
but nothing that would distract the music. A few pics are included as usual.

Almost everything went right and nice. Relaxed security/police and mighty grand friendly helpers on the ground!!! So do I make a cheer! THANKS FREAK VALLEY GUYS AND GIRLS!

Third band on this final day of lovely Freak Valley Festival 2015 is - at least to my ears - the first highlight of the day. DEAD MAN, founded back in 2003 in Oerebro, Sweden, are back
on stage again. After two very fine and critically acclaimed albums in 2006 and 2008 the band went onto a longer hiatus and is now back as a three piece with new members on bass and drums.
The band offers some really enjoyable folky psychedelic rock with a great jam rock edge to it. Compared with most of the other bands on this festival, I wouldn't call this "stoner light",
but a much refreshing different sound that fitted well on this early afternoon. Lighten one up for this show, it's definitely worth doing! Enjoy! SB.
