Rec. Info:
OKM2R -> Zoom H2n (at Wav 16/44) -> SDcard -> HD -> Audacity (edit/remaster) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...
Recorded by yours truly sitting comfortably on a barstool, the equipment mounted on the accompanying bartable at app. 4-5 meters stage centre. Ah, finally a show for me lazy bastard.
Thanks to my brother for company/driving, and shooting a few pics with my crappy camera. Useless to say, but there was/is still a chatter audible. Hm, for the next time at this fine
place to enjoy music, I'll have a different plan. Anyway, besides these occasional mumbles, this sounds pretty good...

2nd time within a few daze I was blessed to see, hear and experpience this great band from Russia twice. As I did prepare my posting of their fine Yellowstock show, I read about the
show in my home turf area, Osnabrueck. And even more, as I was not really satisfied with my tape from Yellowstock, it was just...ok, a bit more than a labour of love, but well, this
late night show turned out to be of a superior quality. Once again, these symphatic young gents from Saint Petersburg, (not Florida, of course Russia!), proved that they are right on
the tracks to achieve their longwaited success. So, let the music do the talking. Get up with some some Heavy 70's Rock/Stoner/Psychedelic Music. I know, you like this! SB.
