Lineage: Lineage: Church Audio CA-14 cardioids [clipped to glasses]>Battery Box> Edrirol R05-@ 24 bit-48k >SDHC-10 class > Sound Forge, used to remove low rumble below 20 hz, slight EQ applied to reduce low end between 80 -120 hz by 1/2 to 1 db plus a slight boost < 1 db in upper and lower mids. Left channel level was increased 2 db and then both channels normalized with peaks to 0db. Exported to CD Architect-track splits > burn CD>ripped CDA as wave files in WMP> FLAC level 8 ASB in TLH.

Thoroughly enjoyable Residents show, with a great visual backdrop and great sound overall. The reverb and delay on the vocals tended to muddy up the sound at times but the instrumentation was very clean, especially the guitar. Atlanta is home to Molly Harvey who joined the band during Caring and the encore song. Randy, Chuck and Bob put on a competent show, which I enjoyed even more than their last show here.

Audience recording, seated in center of the main floor, midway back about 15 rows form the stage. The crowd around me were polite and clapped at the appropriate places. Droid photos from my vantage point are included. The show fits on a single 80 minute disc, with the exception of the encore. I've included it in a separate folder. For those burning a CD-R, you can decide to spilt these how you like.

Please keep this recording lossless; never upload these files as an MP3 or other lossy format. Never sell but please trade freely. Support the band by seeing them on this tour and buying their official merchandise.

Enjoy! -----Solar Wind-----Atlanta-----
