John Primer and friends, Chicago blues festival, Tournon-France, l'Abescat, 2012 december 9, mastered aud SM recording

It was a show from the 43th Chicago blues festival European tour.
This edition was wonderful, giving everything i expect from a show : good sound, good playing, great and warm
people happy to be on stage.

Recorded 5 meters facing right PA with :
2 x AT 831 mics connected to 2 x AT 8531 power modules, XLR cables to ZOOM H4n (24/48).
Downsampled 16/44 wav tracks to PC (USB), Audacity editions after mastering, FLAC (TLH).

About the sound : mastering effects were applied to the recording (with a R 24 Zoom machine).
The result is designed to sound optimal with neutral or minimal settings.
The bass sounded very different during the second set (more presence).
