Martine Lancelot Barre - Guitar

Doanne Etheride Perry - drums, percussions

A solid audience recording, although it takes a few moments for the sound to dial in. The original recording was occasionally a little quiet (average loudness was -18 db) and also a bit murky in louder sections, perhaps because it was recorded from the loge. The Isotope Ozone 3 "mild excitement" setting added back some of the missing sharpness and punch, and took away the overhanging balcony, so to speak.

Thanks to Tom Reizes for the DAT

Enjoy! :: mhg 01/22/12
