Band:
Chris Thile ? mandolin
Sean Watkins ? guitar
Sara Watkins ? fiddle
Mark Schatz ? bass
Notes: Chris' mandolin rig had trouble, and halfway through the set had to "give up"... finally the band decided to play all around one mic.
In Sara's own words (www.nickelcreek.com/journal.htm) - Our show in St. Petersburg on Tuesday was very different from any other - and extremely enjoyable. Things were grooving really, really well when, about 5 or 6 songs into the set, Chris's mandolin pickup, for a reason unbeknownst to us at the time, began acting up. Its bad behavior progressed to the point where we decided to take an unplanned intermission so that Danny, our extremely competent soundman, could examine things on stage.
After about 15 minutes, the problem was uncovered but was not immediately fixable, so, rather than make ill attempts and sacrificing everyone's tone and volume, we decided to strip all the other instruments and vocals down to the same level and use just two mics: one for the bass, and one for the three of us to share. We completed the rest of the set with that set up, maneuvering around one mic, trying to make the balance just right...haha, what a great moment.
The Del McCoury Band (one of the great traditional bluegrass bands) always performs that way - they know how to pull it off *right*.
