When Will You Die


SOURCE: Edirol R09HR (with CA9200 preamp and CA-Omni mics clipped to shoulders)
LOCATION: Approx 8 feet out from stage, dead center

NOTES: I should have stood nearer to the stack but my daughter wanted to see, the fills weren't quite strong enough to push
vocals to the center but it did improve after the first handful of songs. The horns are quite loud the first couple
songs as they were literally right in front of us on those songs. Same venue I saw them for the first time in 1990. And
have seen them here a ton of times over the years with my first master recording of them in 1994.
