Rec. Info:
Zoom H2n (at WAV 16/44) with internal mics -> SDcard -> HD -> Audacity (edit/remaster) -> WAV 16/44 -> TLH8 -> FLAC -> DIME -> YOUR EARS AND MIND...
Recorded by a good friend, the BLUESHACKS, at app. 7th row dead center. Thank you Wolli, for capturing this fine show. The sound is a little uneven, but mainly due to the poor main
system sound. It gets a lot a lot better after track #2, but as well, lot of hollers and screaming from audience members is audible.
But hey - it was the first recording my dear friend ever did, and I think it's a good one.

As I had my day off on Herzberg on Satuurday, only watched and taped Mr.Richard Betts, I felt deeply tired, so I handed my recorder to a close friend, and this is what you get from
the muddy mountain experience 2012. I'd seen and taped the mighty Wishbone Ash a lot of times during the past 10 years, so I've decided to listen to them from the camp. Oh, the sound
up there was fantastic, by the way. Guess it was only short of of 500 meters walk up...But the mudsliding down there reaching the main ground was an adventure which nobody likes to
take a few times each day. Ok, but what about the ASH? Well, biz as usual, but, hey, there's a "Sometime world" early in the set, then a mid-set "Ballad of the beacon" (which
I have not experienced in 2-3 years so far, cool!), and a "Living Proof" to close. Ups, and, Andy's "german" is getting better...Maybe somday he'll be a well-welcomed hero citizen
to the long lasting history of the city called OSNABRUECK. Maybe, maybe... Until then, I'm looking forward to seeing them in next January, as usual... SB.
