The Indepedent
San Francisco

Co-headline date with Black Kids. This is the second night of a two night
sojourn in SF.

taper : lammah
gear : Sonic Studios DSM-6Ls > Edirol R-09HR
mastering: Adobe Audition 1.5 (hardlimit of audience clapping, normalization) >
CD Wave (tracksplits) > FLAC(6)

Was actually recorded as 16/44.1, normally I do 24/48 and downsample, probably
reset by the firmware upgrade I just did on the Edirol.

Total 57:46

Probably the second-best recording I've ever done, next to the headlining act.
No re-EQ done, anything other than keeping the audience shouts/clapping in line.

Somebody remarked they were sounding especially tight, and indeed, tomzero and I
ended up enjoying watching the husband and wife team, augmented by members of
the openers Judgement day on violin/viola/guitar/trombone(!)...while I like
Black Kids more musically, I'd say on this night, Mates Of State put on the
better show. But another night may be different, both are worthwhile groups
to check out.
