*Recording switches sources at 24m02secs from HEB to BIN souce. Sources merged using SoundForge 8.

Taped from Row A(first row out of orchestra pit) extreme stage left (facing stage right) this was my first attempt at taping with multiple decks and mics, in some ways I am glad, in some ways saddened. My intent was to take the DPA4061(HEB)-OlympusLS10, with mics pointed forward at the stacks, and use that as my primary source and use the BIN->OLympusLS11 with mics attached to my glasses near my ears as the secondary source to produce a more well-rounded recording. What actually occurred was the LS10 memory stick failed after about 20 minutes of recording leaving me with only the LS11 recording.
I also ended up sitting next to a RABID Joe fan who was reliving his youth by getting totally wasted and yelling constantly during the show.
I used the DPA4061 recording for the first portion of the show as it really is noticeably better than the BINs, and filled out the rest of the show with the second source.
I was tempted not to share the source as I was pretty pissed off with the inconsiderate jack-ass that nearly ruined the show for me with his drunk behavior, but as there have been very few new shows shared here I figured it was better to share what I had. Hopefully you will all enjoy what was captured.

Samples included to reflect the HEB (1) an BIN (2) sources.

Artwork made using pictures I took at the show.
