Notes: Neuman KM140 > Soundevices 722 (used as pre-amp) > Sony D8 DAT >(co-ax cable) to Hard Drive > Soundforge (levels) > CDWave (tracking) > TLH (FLACs, checksums). Mics clamped DFC on center of the beam over the dance floor, maybe 20 feet from the stage (thanks so much to Jon Hart for helping me plug them in there). Taped, transferred, and uploaded by Peter Toluzzi.

This is a warm, bassy recording from near the roof of a warm room, on a night where there was plenty of low bass in the room, and indeed there is plenty of 'warmth' in this recording. I usually eq that down a little before sharing my recordings, but I decided to leave it alone this time. It's rare that I've recorded the bass with such fullness and accuracy, from well-placed mics, so this is a Pretty Good example of the KM140s in action... I've always liked how they handle a heavy bass situation without overloading, see what you think). And such a treat to hear the bassist so clearly! - it's not always possible, but Bo and Shaun helped new bassist Jimmy T to really shine clearly this night. Unexpectedly, heavily sold out gig; the band having fun... us too. Enjoy!
