--Show Notes--
- The elements didn't seem to keep the biggest Portland crowd to date
from having their fun at the Big Easy this night. Two well-rounded
sets with the 1st favoring a more chill vibe while the 2nd catered
to the movers & shakers. Seemed like everyone went home from this
one with smiles on.
--Tech Notes--
- There were minor noise issues with the SBD source, so the Mics were
favored a little more heavily than usual. Despite the prevalent crowd
chatter, particularly during the quieter parts, everything still
sounds quite good.
- As noted above where it reads "Official Bleauleg (2)", the '2' simply
indicates that the finishing (ie: mixing & mastering) that went into
making this Bleauleg is of a "2nd draft" type quality. We put a 1st
draft of this show out there briefly, but quickly realized it sounded
rather pooey. Worthwhile improvements have now been made and we
sincerely hope everyone enjoys the listen.
- Comments, complaints, suggestions and/or special requests can be sent
directly to "Trader Dan" .
