First of all, not my best effort. I was not on my A game since this was recorded more
for the sport of it rather than a must have recording. It was a nice June day and I
picked up my son at his mom's. I asked if he wanted to go to the fair and see a bad and
he said sure why not. We got to the fair and the main lot was full so they told us to
park at the office park a 1/2 mile or so away. Best part was it was no charge but it
was a hike. We got to the gate and they were not letting people bring in water so we
snuck that in and with it the gear. Had some food and walked around the fair. About
an hour before the doors opened I got on line and my son found other things to keep him
busy. Finally doors opened and we got the center seats in the 9th row. I figured the
sound would be terrible but fortunately it turned out not to be the case. When the show
started I noticed I was getting one channel. After a short amount of time I fixed it.
There are a few pops and the channel was corrected by copying the good channel. I also
realized I hadn't changed batteries from the previous show since I didn't follow the
usual routine. I figured I had two hours or more considering I had finally updated
the firmware. Finally the last song my luck ran out. I swapped the batteries and clipped
the start of the encore but loosened a cable and lost a channel. This was fixed in
Soundorge. The crowd was going up and down and the last time the crowd stood up my
recorder shut off losing most of the last song. All in all, far from perfect but searches
have yet to find any other recordings of these guys.
