Notes: This was the first of two great nights in Port Chester. For those of us who have been following the
setlists, this brief Northeast U.S. solo tour has been quite extraordinary. As of this
posting, EC has played 132 different songs over the course of just 10 shows! Technically, things went very
well for me. No unexpected electrical or mechanical failures. No chatty neighbors. However, the raw
recording required a lot of EQ'ing, something I usually do not do. But in this case I felt it was
necessary in order to give you the best listening experience. Nearly all of the songs were too low volume
and needed amplification. All of EC's banter between songs was at a very low level and required
additional amplication. The first 15 seconds of track 02 have noticeable volume fluctuations that
I could not fix. The end of track 20 and all of track 27 were performed off mic and were amplified.
I hope you enjoy this recording and that my amateurish attempts at post production are an upgrade.
Stay tuned for night 2!
The entire show was captured on HD video and will soon be uploaded in both DVD and Blu-ray formats. You
