notes:
My first successful recording with the Edirol R-1 after a failed attempt at Nick Cave the previous night. Recorded while seated in the second row of the balcony approx 25m (80ft) from stage directly facing the left speaker stack. Venue acoustics and recording location not ideal but sounds OK under the circumstances. Not much stereo separation of the music. Some annoying people around me talking and yelling during quiet bits. Inadvertantly stopped recording momentarily and missed the first few seconds of The Mercy Seat. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds complete current lineup are accompanied by 4 singers from the London Community Gospel Choir. Support act Cat Power not recorded. Flac fingerprint file included.
