A few pictures included in the fileset taken early in Jimmy Herrings set which triggered the usher, plus a few taken toward the end of the Mahavishnu set, not great but...

Lineage: Church Audio CA-14 cardioids [clipped to glasses] - Ugly Battery Box > Edirol R05-@ 24 bit-48k >SDHC-10 class - Sound Forge- Removed inaudible frequencies below 20 hz plus a 1-2 db cut @ 160hz to 320 hz to tame the low end-slight increase at 5k and 12k. Soft limiting applied, otherwise no compression. 24-48k wav files imported to Audacity, insert track splits and exported as 24 bit FLACs - checksum created in TLH.

Recorded from the floor-Row H seat 21 which is dead center to the stage. I had some occasional talkers and clappers nearby but no major issues with one exception. Early in Jimmy Herring's set, I started talking pictures as did the guy to my right; an usher walked through a dozen pair of legs and leaned forward to beret and threaten us with removal if we continued. The lady was talking right into my mics, which has been preserved for future generations to hear. Thankfully it was dark as the CA-14's are quite obvious to most people, she never saw them. This was as one song ended and the next was starting. The guy next to me started to talk to me about 'the incident' but I just pointed out my mics to him and he stopped. The recording turned out good but is a lttle bass heavy, as a lot of shows are these days. I lowered the bass frequencies to remove mud and only slightly boosted the upper mids. No compression other than soft limiting on the applause spikes. Crank it up through some good speakers to approximate the actual concert experience and enjoy!.

Do not sell this recording but please share freely. Support the artists by seeing them live when you can and buy their official product. Never upload these files in a lossy format like MP3-Keep It Lossless! Feel free to upload to other sites, just preserve my file set and text, thanks.
