Great American Music Hall
San Francisco CA USA

Blended dual-source audience recording.

Source #1: Church Audio CA-11 cards > CA-9100 > Sony PCM-M10
Source #2: Sonic Studios DSM-6 omnis > Edirol-R09HR

No re-EQ of any sort has been done, Source #1 was panned 20L, source #2 20R.
Edirol source speed corrected (sped up 0.001 percent to match Sony M10)

Adobe Audition 1.5 (multitracker/normalization/tracksplits) > FLAC(5)

NOTE: THIS HAS BEEN KEPT AT 48kHz/24 BIT as (1) it's not going to fit on CD-A anyway
and (2) this was an absolutely amazing performnce that deserves to be captured
in highest fidelity possible.

Was helped out by the indomitable tomzero. Probably our best pull to date.

Both of us greatly enjoyed watching M. Garbus's performance. I have never to date seen
an entire audience so captivated as the Great American concertgoers were for her set.
With good reason, between the Bjork-like feather get-up Merrill was wearing, the groovy
stylings of bassist Nate Brennan and dual honking saxophonists, along with a couple of
dancers on a couple of numbers, *crowdsurfing* at the end of one of the songs, you have
the most soulful, uplifting, and funky performance you'll see this side of one of
George Clinton's ensembles, at least for indie music. If you weren't moving watching
them, you were probably without pulse.

Anyway, don't take my word for it, check out the attached samples.

Both opening bands were taped and are available. I missed Man-Machine but tomzero
taped them, and we both got Buke and Gass. No idea on song titles.
