OldNeumanntapr | I left my house shortly before sun up and drove up to Laguna Seca from SLO County. I was the very 1st vehicle in the parking lots. I thought I would get a Great place to record from. Little did I know that the security staff didn't understand that the event was open to taping, so I had to wait until they figured that out. I met up with my friend Jim and his girlfriend at the show and he sent her inside with a blanket to hold us a spot. Once again, we weren't given the OK until the Allman Brothers arrived in their bus. Thankfully Kirk West straightened them out. When they actually let us in with the recording equipment I had missed the 1st band of the day completely. We ended up getting a spot almost directly in front of the board. I overheard someone say that they were broadcasting the show off of the board with a low-power transmitter, so I thought I'd try running a matrix of my Nakamichi CM-300s w/CP-4 shotgun capsules with the FM feed, mixed with my Boss BX-4 four-channel mixer. The recording was good, except the vocals came out a little echoey, because of the matrix. I bought a poster of this show, which was a two-day event billed as 'Laguna Seca Daze,' plus I got a good deal on an Allman Brothers T-shirt that was last-years model. Since I only had a ticket for Saturday I drove back home after the day's shows were over. |
