Excellent AUD recording

TheCommish notes:
This atypical middle-of-the-afternoon show for the band (with temps in the low 90s) was apart of Middlesex Borough's 100th anniversary celebration.

Unfortunately for the band, it was so hot out that very few people decided to stand in the sun directly in front of the stage. Instead, many sought relief from the sun/heat by hanging out under the huge trees or festival tent which were NOT directly in front of the band.

However, few people in front of the stage = a great recording with very little interference. The sound engineers had a brief P.A./speaker issue during one song ("All Night Long") but otherwise this is a great recording offering a cornucopia of dynamite soul and R&B.

If you like this torrent, won't you please take a moment to post a comment on the board? It only takes a moment, and believe me, it takes A LOT longer to prepare/upload a show for others to enjoy than it does to download and run.
