A few notes on the recording... We were seated about 50 meters away from the stage, which was ok for sound, albeit that the original recording came out a little flat and bass-driven,
so I eq'd it a bit with the Sony multiband dynamics plugin in Vegas Pro 12 and raised audio levels a little, and to my mind it came out really good.
There are moments of my adjusting the settings on the camera in the other hand affecting the sound a little bit,
but I have managed to correct the occasional variations in loudness in Vegas Pro and they are barely noticeable where they occur.
With Boogie With Stu I had a few issues as I was looking for a spare battery in my bag and this had some effects on the recording,
most of which I have managed to deal with but at 04:54,45 into the song I accidentally pressed the stop button on the H1, causing a break of 00:13,19 seconds in the recording.
I have left this gap in the flac of the song as was but for those who find this a drag, I have included the audio from the Panasonic Lumix LX100 camera
(recorded as 48 kHz; Stereo, Dolby AC-3, the flac: 48kHz 16-bit, flac level 0) as a separate patch file for the gap,
should you w�sh to listen to the song in its entirety and combine the two files with audio editing software.


A very enjoyable recording, even if I say so myself :). Joe and the band are in top form. Enjoy. Share unaltered. Support Joe and the musicians by buying their merch at http://jbonamassa.com/

I have uploaded a few videos on youtube but the audio on these is not equal to this finalized version. Here's the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvzDb7Ip9-o&list=PLTDcib3YOnFj6ChsERqe-X-VtdN_3yyli
