Taper Notes:

View NotesShow Notes: BWFRX!!!!!  Get This Show.  I mean it.. just stop reading right now and download this show.  The prior night was cut short on time and volume due to rain and pesky neighbors who wanted to do such a silly little thing like sleep.. BAH!  SO The Wu bottled that up and brought forth the deluge on this eve.  There's a LOT of fun in this show.. stellar jams, tasty covers and sit-ins.. energy galore!  Get it. Dun.

BTW: A couple notes:  I Hate ProTools.  Period.  Nothing pisses me off more than a recording being damaged by poorly written software and this one is included in that.  I was using ProTools to enable the 4 track input for SBD+AUD (normally I just do one or the other)  Right in the middle of an absolutely energetic Texas Fireball jam the rig just stopped recording.. Thankfully I was babysitting the rig and noticed durring the break between TF and You Really Got Me.  We lose probably a couple minutes of TF and the first 10-15 seconds of YRGM while I set up the new tracks to record.  BAH Again!!  I've intentionally put the disc split at this point and then added fade-out, fade-in to make the transition less jarring for those playing the tracks eau naturale.

Also in the middle of SOS a jackass with a horn honked right into my mics (you know who you are)  I have spent some precision work eliminating that from the recording and unless you know exactly where it is I'm fairly confident you won't hear any signs of its former existence but anyway..  word to y'all: Respect your tapers.  Yelling into our mics (or worse) is just plain not cool.  You are ruining the experience for *everyone* else and one o these days I'm just plain gonna snap and retalliate in a very much not-so-hippie kinda way.  Beware.

Enjoy!
