Kansas acoustic and Q & A 2017-02-08 Cruise to the Edge 2017 day 02 Brilliance of the Seas Pacifica Theater 44.1khz 16bit aud mastered

Hi everyone. This is a five song acoustic set followed by a fun Q & A session with the current members of Kansas.

I recorded this a few days ago on the Cruise to the Edge 2017. If you were there then you might remember the guy with the black flat cap and the fuzzy "kitty ears" that were really microphones with wind mice. Great fun. If you weren't there then I hope to see you next year.

I will be releasing my recordings as I get them processed. I'll be releasing my 96khz 24 bit recordings absolutely raw with no mastering at all and my 44.1khz 16bit versions with gentle mastering. If you want to master your own then be sure to grab the 24 bit versions.

I will be releasing this as a 24bit raw recording a bit later since there is a musical performance that you may want to remaster for yourself. This is the 16bit mastered version.

Enjoy as you wish,
OscarMZ
