Notes:
Alright sounding stealth recording. Mostly quiet audience, who go nuts between songs!
After the in-store at Rough Trade, Matt, Kristin, myself, and a photographer called Lee all piled into a taxi, which took us to the venue.
Doors had already been open a while, and support (Kris Barras Band) were just about to start playing.
I got Matt and Kristin into a position where they could open tape, under the sound booth, but a way back.
I abandoned the idea of open taping, and instead ran my two stealth rigs,
in the best position I could get, slightly to the left of centre, 3m from stage,
pretty much in front of Marc. This is the better of the two recordings I made from this position.
Great playing at this gig. Marc breaks a string in "Mary The Gypsy".
At the encore, the band said they were going to be back in awhile, so I stopped the recording,
and restarted when they retook the stage two minutes later. No music is affected.
Known faults: Tiny amount of rumble occasionally audible where the aircon blew over the mics.
The light knocking noise on the last track is possibly from Marc's guitar?
