audience recording: unknown sub-miniature type mics > Sony PCM M-10 (48/24) > Sound Studio (cut tracks, amplified second set ~ 3db, slight compression overall [-8.01 Peak Threshold, Post Gain -0.13] dither, downsample to 44.1/16) > xACT (FLAC level 8)


All in all a good evening of music, with SC sounding fairly fresh and 'modern' for most of the tunes.

Big thanks to kneesfudd for pointing me in the right direction this night. His suggestion got me interested. I've seen the name on many a 'Fillmore' poster, but I've not seen SC before and really can't say I was familiar with any of their music, not even their "big hit" 'Hello Hello'. I was born several years too late to be in on all the Summer of Love sounds coming out of the Bay Area at that time. So thanks again kneesfudd, it was definitely a worthwhile show for me!

The setlist shows my unfamiliarity with the band, s many help with the missing titles is much appreciated!
