Notes:
Set 1 starts with the levels a little hotter than I would have liked - no clipping but it was close. I turned them down a bit at the beginning of All The Way To Nowhere.
The sax is maybe a little hot in the mix for the first few minutes of set 2, but was adjusted by the middle of Carol.
A great start to 2016 - the Band asked if I could help them out with the sound system on this show - what Leroy's has doesn't quite cut it for a loud band. :) I grabbed a little rig from work and used the Yamaha board to make a recording mix using 2 stage mics clamped to Jeff's & Tod's vocal mic stands, and the mics that were going to the PA (noted above) - the result is pretty good stuff, decent stereo image of the band with vocals (& effects) in the mix nicely.
Thanks as always to the Band for letting me record! Happy 2016!
Enjoy!!
