Recording Notes: This was the best quality i've ever heard out of a mic recording. This was at a weird hiatus of vh's taping policy. For about 2 weeks they ended the option of taping. So I worked at the show all morning lugging in vh's equipment. I got to play around on ed's drums, matt's guitar, and sung into keith's microphone. Cool day. I also met and worked with Chris Bruno setting up the stage that day and he told me all about his new band called Georgia Avenue. It was ironic that I became a fan of theirs a few months later after hearing their music. When I was setting up, I set my binaurals in the light stand about 5 feet from the left stack. Then I ran 68 feet of cable under the bleachers to my seat which was about 50 feet away on the left side of the stage...then I patched that into my md recorder. It was genius and sounds awesome. The first three songs were going and I felt like a sheer genius. Then out of nowhere the md deck started flaking out on me. It would record for a minute then stop, I'd hit record again and it'd go for 2 minutes then stop. So I never got a complete song after the first three songs. I turned it off about an hour into the show because I was going to throw it against a wall otherwise. The next day I started shopping for dats. I've been spreading the first 3 songs as filler only.
