Note: I had problems with input levels in this recording. I set my levels during the opening band's set, but had to raise them during the 1st song, and then keep lowering them during the next 5 songs as the sound guy raised his levels. He did the opening band sound from the board 20 feet in front of the band, but switched to the board at stage right for the Hackensaw Boys. After the 6th song my levels were too low in retrospect, but higher for the encore that was performed in front of the stage, when I grabbed my mics and walked up to the band. At least I got a decent recording; last time at this venue I had no place to set up.
