OldNeumanntapr Notes;
This was another show that my friend Craig recorded that he wanted me to do post production. The Aladdin Theater is a nice intimate theater, according to Craig, and has a capacity of 600 people. Judging by the recordings that he has made there the acoustics sound really nice. Hiatt tells some funny stories, including one where he admits that he pees just before going onstage because otherwise ‘The last part of the show gets speeded up’. As an aging taper, I can relate to this, as I have to do the same just before getting to my seat!

Do NOT Convert To MP3.
Enjoy! Share freely, don’t sell, play nice, don’t run with scissors, etc. 😉

I noticed some diginoise on the DAT at the very end. There might be some bad spots in the middle, too. I’m not sure how bad it is.
