This came out nice. This was the fourth set of the day, and the second one on the small stage. This is another incredibly talented group. I recorded from a few feet in front of the stage. You can hear general street sounds and a bit of wind, but the music dominates. There is a bit during "Shine" where the keyboard wasn't amplified loud enough, and it gets sorted out quite abruptly. I didn't stay for the whole day, but I caught a total of seven different acts, and I'm sharing them as I get to 'em. I took a bunch of cellpone photos, and included the best of them.

Enjoy!
