Recording in the crowd can pose some problems.
A couple people were clapping over their heads directly in front of my microphones.
They were polite enough to only clap between songs after I asked.
Still there were some very loud claps that needed to be muffled or cut out of the applause.
If you listen to these concerts at loud volumes your speakers and eardrums will thank me for the extra effort.
Then they're the pilot error issues.
Forgot the battery pack and the microphone battery was changed twice.
A small section of applause was inserted to smooth the second of these changes out.
Now the bad part.
I needed to change the memory card too.
My memory card runs out a couple songs later during Naked and French.
Ooops.
Spliced it together the best I could but there is some music missing here.
Thanks go out to Jim Thomas and the band for letting us tape the shows.
