Show Notes:
Quality show on behalf of Chrissie Hy...I mean the Pretenders. No screens, just a straight up rock and roll show. Voice and band sounds great. Setlist certainly leaned away from the hits, but I can respect that decision. I think there was supposed to be an extra two song encore, but they called it off judging from the crew chatter on some other feeds.

Recording Notes:
Nice wide mix. Guitar has a ton of wide stereo effects, which really come through on the guitar solos. If you dig the Pretenders, this is a nice listen.

As always, encouraging people to get into taping and mixing. Just take the craft seriously and it will reward you many times over. There's no point in complaining about missing recordings or subpar quality if you're not contributing--pushing 1's and 0's around on the internet is no comparison for taping.

IEM recordings are not for everyone. If not they're not your thing, either sonically or ethically, well at least you didn't spend any money on this.

Similarly, I'm mixing primarily for my ears. This is what sounds best to me. This may not sound best to you. That's a fair statement. I'm open to honest criticism (although you should have caught me when I was working on the mix!), but pointless complaining is unappreciated (naturally). Let's play nice.

Feel free to distribute this recording, either in FLAC or 256kps (or greater) mp3. Just include this info file along with the files.

Feel free to remaster/remix this recording. Just keep it to your own computer and iPod, and do not redistribute.

Please do not remaster or use this audio for any video project or personal youtube/soundcloud/etc page. It's considered offensive to take the audio/video and co-opt that hard work without permission. Especially folks that "remaster" the audio, while overloading and distorting the audio. If you want to remaster the audio...go back to the original recording and do your own (with taper permission!)

While it's released for free on the internet, and I can take no real action if somebody takes the audio, I ask that you honor this simple request. After all, the only logical alternative to stop folks co-opting the audio is to simply stop releasing material on the internet, and just restrict it for sharing with other tapers. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.

Enjoy y'all!
