Venue Notes:
A racetrack that became a concert stage for a weekend, the Crowes played with the sun to their backs and the crowd to their faces, sandwiched
between George Clinton (who I ran tape for) and Bob Dylan (who I didn't)...this show was a NO TAPING show (as per Dylan, hence why that mumbly
fecker didn't get taped), so apologies are accepted for my scrotum and the like...
Recording Notes:
My FAVORITE Steve "drum sound" ever, he sounds like Bonham and then some. From the opening strains of the BMC jam, the band is on freakin' FIRE
for a "festival" gig. "Title Song" is a total treat, and even "Mellow Down Easy" is like fire on the mountain. A MUST have if you're into "band
chemistry".
Rating: 10/10
Mastering Notes:
Some very minor wind noise noticeable between songs.
