The venue is basically a large mobile stage in the middle of a big open field. When I record taper friendly bands at this venue I use cardioid mics aimed at the PA stacks, but I had to be as stealthy as possible for this show. I decided to use my trusty CSB Omni Mics mounted on either side of my hat right above my ears. Being right in the sweet spot really helps this recording and makes for decent stereo separation despite using the onmi mics. The recording is naturally "bassy", just as it sounded live, but not "boomy". I left it that way, with only a very light EQ boost done above 8500k.

R.I.P. Hughie Thomasson (1952 - Sept. 9, 2007), one of the original members of the Outlaws and also a one-time member of Lynryd Skynyrd, who passed away the night of this show unexpectedly of an apparent heart attack at his home in Brooksville, Florida. He wrote most of the Outlaws greatest songs including: "There Goes Another Love Song", "Hurry Sundown", and the southern rock classic, "Green Grass & High Tides". He will be truly missed. Fly on Free Bird.
