Notes:

  • Due to the live matrixing of the two sources, there is a
    noticeable delay/echo, especially during vocals and quieter
    parts.
  • Tape flip between tracks 7 and 8. No music lost.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
I was one of the first cars into the parking lot that morning, but the ‘Powers That Be’ wouldn’t let us into the gates of the show with our recording equipment until the Allman Brothers arrived and announced to them that taping was indeed OK. Fortunately, my friend Jim’s girlfriend went in while we waited outside and took a blanket in to reserve a spot. (We could have been a lot closer to the stage if security would have just let us in when we got there.) I remember that we missed the first one or two opening sets because of the miscommunication with the recording policy, and Blues Traveler was the first set that I ran tape for that day. Someone mentioned to us that they were doing a low-power FM broadcast off the board, but it was mono, so I set up my little Sony SRF-M30 quartz locked FM walkman and mixed the Nakamichi CM-300 shotguns with the FM signal. It was hard to monitor the sound at the show, and I didn’t realize that there was a big delay in the sound coming off the PA stacks as opposed to the FM feed. I still think that it sounds better than just the audience mics all by themselves. I still have the poster for this show!
