Grace Potter & The Nocturnals - GPL009: Rams Head On Stage, Annapolis MD, 08/04/2005

ABOUT THE GRACE POTTER LIVE REMASTER SERIES

This is a series of remastered live recordings by Grace Potter & The Nocturnals. The remasters are sourced from existing tapes, mostly from the Live Music Archive at www.archive.org. Since I'm not the original taper of these shows, all credits should go to the original tapers for making the recordings available in the first place. These remasters are an attempt to get the best out of the original recordings. The remasters will cover the entire career of what I think is one of today's finest live acts. As long as there's enough interest there will be a new release every few months. Suggestions for shows to be released in the series are always welcome, but keep in mind I can't release everything.

Venue: Rams Head On Stage, Annapolis MD
Source: Soundboard
Sound Quality (1-10): 10

Since it's a long time ago I've done something featuring the original line up, I thought it was time for something very old. This is a show from August 2005 when the Nothing But The Water album was just released. The source for this recording is Peter W. King's soundboard recording as it appears on the internet archive. A great recording, but there were a few problems. Most notably, the channels were out of phase, which has been corrected for this remaster. It has also been re-EQed with HarBal 2.3 (with the official "Stop The Bus" as a reference) and the volume levels have been slightly adjusted. I also cut off the end of the show where Aimee Mann's "Going Through The Motions" starts playing over the PA, because of Dime's policy on official recordings. The end result is a much better recording, check out the sample below and decide for yourself. Artwork can be found in the torrent. Enjoy!
