--------------------------

Grace performed on January 11, 13 and 14 at Enmore Theatre. I didn't have a ticket and hoped somebody would record one of the shows because I had a slim chance of being there. Then I discovered the Tix for Next to Nix booth where all unsold tickets to Sydney Festival events were available for only $25 on the morning of the show.

Bargain! Around 8:30 am I was lucky to snag a couple before rushing back to the car.

Bummer! I copped a $135 parking fine for being in a loading zone. But it was worth it to experience Miss Grace Jones in top form on the last show of her short visit to Australia.

Bonus! More songs from her new album than at the free show at the Domain on January 10.

This was a general admission standing show, with seating upstairs. I was about 15 metres from the stage nearest to the right hand speakers, with mics clipped to collars. Audience chat is minimal.

I've seen track 4 listed as both "Sunset Surprise" and "Sunset Sunrise". If you know the correct title I'll change it in the description above. This recording is nearly all mono. Tracks 8, 9 and 10 are predominantly stereo but most everything else is mono because of a battery box > Edirol connection problem which caused the left channel to drop out. This was repaired by mix-pasting the right channel with whatever existed on the left in the affected sections. Despite losing a channel I'm very happy with the result.

Crank it up on a big system for best results.
