Lineage: Stealth recorded and minimally produced by mrsaureus, sitting in the orchestra just left of center 20 rows (maybe 70 ft.) back from the stage. Core-Sound High End Binaurals (DPA-4060 capsules) to Sony PCM-M10 (48 kHZ, 24 bit), WavePad Sound Editor to cut into songs and export as 24 bit/ 48 kHz waves. Switch Sound File Converted to convert to 16 bit/44.1 kHz flacs. If people want it, I can share the 24/48 version. This is an audience recording that aims to document the experience of being in the crowd at the show, and features occasionally loud but appropriate crowd noise. This is the first time this recording is being shared.


Those rare occasions when you can see someone accustomed to headlining playing instead in an opening slot can be interesting, because the forces of economy can often sharpen the tool. Our favorite bearded, beret wearing, red Strat playing Brit packs one hell of a wallop in a concise set of ten well chosen songs, with lots of textural variation and jaw dropping guitar licks falling all over, building to a right proper climax with the orgasmic zipped up joy-ride audience singalong of Tear Stained Letter. It just about makes you wish everybody would just play ten great songs and let us all get home early, but of course not everybody could do it like this. Download this. You�ll want to hear it.
