OldNeumanntapr Notes:
Got there at 5 PM, for soundcheck. Kip was home sick but no problem getting access from Reggie, the Bastards sound man, since I had emailed him. I hung mics, ran cables and taped them down. I was able to record most of the soundcheck and dial in the mix. I’d say off hand it was a 55/45% split. I had Reggie bus the guitars in my mix so that he could raise their levels for me. I monitored the whole night with my Beyer DT-770s and it seemed to sound nice. Of course, it’s impossible to get a really accurate appraisal with all the loud ambient noise. I’m getting used to setting up the Mackie mixer and listening to both sources independently while they sound check. The Neumanns mix well with the board. 🙂 It makes it nice to get to record the soundcheck to dial everything in. I was going to record the opener, but they were horrible, so I just monitored and made sure that my mix sounded good. I wasn’t able to get a set list after the show, because the Mongrel Hordes made off with them. Reggie said to email him and he’d send me one. I also noticed that, right before the show, the bouncers came in and set up a short wall to block off the stage floor from the bar, because it was an all-ages show. I couldn’t remove the mic cables after the show because the wall was on top of them. Fortunately, there is a diamond-plate metal covering that gives access to the basement that sticks up an eighth of an inch, and I had ran the cables alongside it, so at least they weren’t being smashed. Doubtless that Bill wouldn’t like that…But, I talked with the manager and received permission to leave the cables set up for the next show, this coming Thursday when Cuesta Ridge opens for Brothers Comatose. There’s a little work that I won’t have to redo. 🙂 All I did was remove the microphones and left the shelf and Atlas bar strapped to the post. The guy at the booth next to the board bought me two beers after I let him listen to my headphone mix a bit. All in all, a very enjoyable evening. The band was in fine form and played a lot off their new CD, which Erika said will be out on June 9th, two days before her birthday.

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was the first and only time that I have recorded Gordon Lightfoot. I remember that ‘The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald’ was one of my favorite songs to hear on the radio when I was growing up in the 70s. Gordon remarked at this show that this was the third time that he had played San Luis Obispo, the first time being in 1970, and then he went on to say that the last time was three years previously which was incorrect. The last time that he played SLO was 7/9/98, a little over two years before this show. I had my friend Dave record that one for me, as I was out of town at the time, and he missed getting the first set. I was happy to finally get a complete Gordon Lightfoot show recorded. He seemed to be in fine spirits for this show, though I grew tired of his joking ‘Are you ready? Are you ready?’ he would say before several songs. The acoustics of the Cal Poly Performing Arts Center are incredible and it shows on the recording.

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was the last time, to date, that David Lindley has played SLO Brew. Sadly, the attendance at this show wasn’t good, with less than half capacity. As usual, Mr. Dave played a wicked slide and told some very amusing stories. Sometimes I think it’s Lindley’s stories that drive me to collect so many of his show recordings. This was the show where I met the taper known as DATCC, who sat next to me. So, there is also his source for this show (Sonic Studios DSP-6Ps >Sony TCD-D7), though I don’t know if he’s circulated it yet.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:

I started off left of center by 10 feet, directly in front of Coco, and about 20 feet back from stage. I was right on the edge of the folding-chair gallery and the dance floor, but I moved 10 feet to the right midway through the show so I could be Dead center. It seemed safe to venture out into the dance area because most people were slow dancing. I did the ‘Taper Shuffle’; move the body whilst keeping the head/mics stationary. 🙂
This was the second of three shows in a row that I did this weekend, and I’m exhausted!!!

The Cal Poly Performing Arts Center is a great place to see a show. The acoustics are wonderful and the venue is not too big (1,300 capacity), so it’s very intimate. I was 7th row center for this show and the recording sounds really nice. This was my second Tull show and I thought the band was very tight. I worked the load out on this show afterwards and I never worked so hard in my life!!! It took about four of us to load a 55ft semi trailer with all of Tull’s equipment. That was the only time I ever worked at the PAC because it was back breaking work! (This was my first and last time working as a stage hand for the Performing Arts Center. I quit right after this show because I realized that all they wanted was grunt work.) I remember Tull’s road manager, in his English accent, barking out instructions like,’Flip this one end to end my pretties and stack in there on that one.’ Over and over again!! None of the crew knew that I had recorded the show and then run the gear out to my car and locked it away before joining the other ‘grunts’ and loading the truck. I still have the backstage pass, not that I was able to make use of it during the show because I was sitting like a stone in the audience!

This was my first, and only, time recording Lucinda Williams. She was great, but seemed irritated in the polite, sedate crowd at the PAC. I think she likes playing the bars and night clubs better. Thanks to Terry for the fresh digital transfer and thanks to Dennis for the mastering. Thanks also to my friend Dave for the ticket.

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
I got to SLO Brew at 5:30, walked in the side door, and said Hi to Kipp (SLO Brew sound man). He looked at me and said, ‘Hi, imagine seeing You here.’ 😉

I then saw Todd Snider’s sound man Brian, who is balding but has a HUGE beard. I said hi, and that I had recorded them last year and asked if everything was the same. He said yes.

It took me about an hour to set up. I bungeed the Atlas mic bar to the ceiling post about 9.5 feet off the floor, and ran the borrowed XLRs down the side of the post and across the floor. I had to thoroughly tape all the cables down to keep people from tripping on them.

I set up the Tascam by the side of the board and put one of the wooden stools in the little alcove for me to sit on during the show. (This was probably the most comfortable I’ve ever been at a SLO Brew show. I was able to sit through the entire set, when I wasn’t on the floor shooting photos.) It wasn’t that crowded, so I could move around and shoot without any problem.

The red-shirt SLO Brew staff people are kind of clueless. The one guy said, ‘You can’t sit here’, at the start of the show. I told him that I was running my gear in this spot and he said, ‘Oh’. He never noticed the black duct tape holding down the cables. Hardly anyone
did.

I thought the first set was kind of short. Kipp later told me that Todd was sick and was throwing up between sets. 🙁 Poor guy. I thought that he didn’t seem as happy as usual and didn’t tell any stories between songs. The show must go on!

I shot photos during the show with my Nikon gear, details above.

Amanda Shires opened the show. You can grab her show here.

OldNeumanntaper Notes:
This was one of two shows that I saw / recorded at The Forum On Marsh, the other being Dick Dale. This venue didn’t last too long, not more than about a year. (Maybe not even that long.) I think they couldn’t compete with SLO Brew which is around the corner on Garden St.
This show took place one night after the Joe Ely show at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara, which I also recorded with the same gear. This show was a little longer by four songs and requires two discs, whereas the Lobero show can fit on one disc. This was another show that I went to with my friends Dave and Brian, who can be heard talking with me on the ‘Taper Walk Out’. The building, which had been a Verizon phone store, is now a bank. This is another great example of, ‘If it wasn’t recorded then it’s just a memory.’ I’m glad I recorded the two shows I did there because The Forum On Marsh is now ‘just a memory.’

OldNeumanntapr Notes:

This is JUST the second set!

When I got home from taping Tom Russell at the Fremont Theater in SLO tonight and popped the CF card into my iMac I noticed that the first set came up as ‘zero bytes’. There was nothing there. I checked levels a couple of times during the set and everything looked great. The recorder was running, and it didn’t get left on pause. (The red record light was a constant red.) I even tried playing the file on the Tascam. It errors when I try to play that file.

Set two is fine. I shut off the recorder during the intermission to save battery power. I did a ‘full format’ on the card yesterday before the show. I had some trouble during the Bonnie Raitt set of the recent Avila Blues Festival where there were a couple of places on the recording that sounded like a CD skipping. I thought that maybe the card was getting used too much with only ‘quick formats’ being done between shows.

I’ve noticed that for the past year or so the recorder refuses to turn off when you press the power button when the recorder is running off of battery power. So to turn it off I have to remove the card first and then it will power down. That’s what I did between sets tonight. Something must have happened during the power down cycle which erased the first set. Or, it never recorded in the first place. I don’t understand. It’s all very strange.

It’s never done anything like this before.

It was a good show. The first set was all new material from the new release, and he ended the first set with ‘Tonight We Ride’.

This is most distressing.
