DECEMBERISTS - Paradiso, Amsterdam, March 14 2011

This is my recording of the Decemberists' show in Amsterdam from their spring 2011 European tour. The show featured a nice mix of new material from the King Is Dead album and old favourites, as well as some nice audience participation. As you'll hear, both the band and the audience were having a good time. The recording turned out nicely as well, even though it needed quite a bit of re-EQing and limiting on the applause. Volume levels of songs were also adjusted where this was appropriate. Overal I'm happy with the results, check out the sample below and find out. Artwork can be found in the torrent. Enjoy!
