OldNeumanntapr Notes-

The Cuesta College Auditorium was a neat old shoebox-type theater, built back during WWII on the old Cuesta campus which was part of the Camp San Luis California National Guard army base. (The New campus, built in the early 70s fronts Highway 1, the Pacific Coast Highway.) The auditorium looked like hell, with peeling paint and a leaky roof with a water-stained ceiling, but had really nice acoustics. Alas, it was deemed not worthy to retro-fit for earthquake standards, so it is slowing decaying and has been boarded up and condemned since the middle 2000s. It was sad, because Arlo remarked during the show how wonderful the sound was in the old theater. He said that they had played some brand new houses that didn’t sound half as good, and he implored the audience to try and preserve the old building. Sadly, that didn’t happen. I have recorded at the old auditorium a lot, and made my first recording there in the late 1980s when I was working part time for the Cuesta College Music Department while I was going to school. I gave a patch to my friend TaprRon at this Arlo show and he laughed, because it was the first time he’d gotten a patch at a stealth show! I got my ticket signed at this show, and My ex wife Nikki and I brought our daughter Lucy to see Arlo play. She was seven years old, and the last time that we saw Arlo, Nikki was pregnant with Lucy.

OldNeumanntapr Notes-
This was the last time that I was able to record David Lindley at the old Cuesta College Auditorium, as it closed down in the mid 2000s. The building is located on the old Cuesta campus which was formally a part of the CA National Guard Camp San Luis Obispo complex. The auditorium, which is a ‘shoebox’ type with the stage at the narrow end, was constructed during WWII and is an unreinforced wood frame building. It was deemed not worthy for earthquake retrofitting, so it has been slowly sinking into decay for the past 10 years or so. The auditorium looked like hell, with pealing paint and a leaky roof, but has excellent acoustics. The performers who played there really enjoyed the sound inside the building.

This is a remastered version of my DAT master, done in July of 2015. The master had loud crowd noise (applause) between songs and detracted from the listening enjoyment of the recording. I believe that I had someone upload the previous version before to another tracker. I think this remaster sounds much better, now that Dennis worked his magic on it. The music sounds much more prominent and the crowd applause, while still present, is not overpowering. Thanks also to Terry Watts for digitally transferring my DAT master, as my DAT recorders have all given up the ghost and are unusable.

I last recorded David and Wally at the Cuesta Auditorium in 1998, with Neumann KM-184 cardioid microphones. The SKM-140s have the same capsules as the KM-184s but offer the use of active cables which make recording covertly so much easier! (AK-40 capsules + LC3 active cables + KM-100 amplifier stages = SKM-140s)

Mr. Dave and Wally always put on a good show and this was no exception. Lindley’s stories are always very entertaining. Sometimes I think I collect his shows, not only to her his slide playing, but also for his witty and imaginative stories.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
This was the second Lois Capps for Congress Benefit that I recorded at the Cal Poly Performing Arts Center. This time David Crosby’s band CPR opened for Jackson Browne, whereas before it was Crosby and Nash that opened for Jackson. The Christopher Cohan Center has amazing acoustics and has curved interior walls to minimize standing sound waves that can cause distortion. It is a small theater and seats less than 1,300 and was built in 1996.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:

Presented by the SLO Blues Society

This was a great show! I’d seen, and recorded, Carolyn Wonderland when she opened for last
year’s Avila Blues Festival, but then as an opening act she only played for 30 minutes. This
show, being almost an hour and 45 minutes, really showcased her abilities as a blues guitarist.
Usually many people dance at the Blues Society shows. No one danced at this show because people’s eyes were glued to the stage! She played lap steel for two songs and even played trumpet on a Los Lobos cover. I think this was one of the better SLO Blues Society shows that I have seen.

***Special Guest David Huebner From ‘The Littlest Birds’ On Cello

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
All I can say is that this band seriously needs someone to stand near the stage with a fire extinguisher because THESE GUYS SMOKE!!!! Wow. I really enjoyed seeing / recording this band, especially after hearing repeated plays of ‘Pie For Breakfast’ on K-Pig FM, from Santa Cruz but simulcast in SLO County. To make matters sweeter, Cuesta Ridge was opening the show and I am the archivist for that band since my brother in law Brent plays drums for them. Well, I’d probably go and record them anyway even if he wasn’t because they are really hot. Brent put me on the guest list for this show which was nice that I could save a few dollars.

I got there at 6 pm at soundcheck and had no trouble securing permission from the headliner to make an audience / soundboard matrix recording. It made things easy seeing how my mic cables were already taped down because I had to leave them set up after the Heartless Bastards show on Sunday after the bouncers set up the general admission wall over them that separates the bar from the stage area. So, I just attached the microphones to the cables and adjusted them in a basic ORTF position but made sure to point them to the stage to pick up sound from the on-stage amplifiers. I was ready to record the sound check and adjust my mix once I got the mixer and recorder / preamp set up and the 1/4 inch cables run from the board. I asked Kip, SLO Brew house sound man, if I could plug into Matrix 3 and 4 on the board and he commented that I was getting used to doing so!

The Brothers Comatose played a 40 minute sound check which was like a mini set and was icing on the cake to what looked to be a pretty good evening shaping up. They sound checked for so long that by the time Cuesta Ridge was ready to do their sound check the doors were opening and people were coming in to the building.

Cuesta Ridge played a little over 40 minutes and were in fine form. Their set, along with all their others, can be found on the Live Music Archive. Look up:
https://archive.org/details/CuestaRidge

The addition of the audience microphones, which were hung on the front ceiling post about 10ft high and nine feet from stage center, makes a big difference in the energy level of the show. You can really hear how into it the crowd was, as compared to a straight board recording where the crowd sounds like they are off in the distance.

My sister was there and bought me a couple of cold Coronas, Thanks Steph!, and the guys at the booth next to me bought me another beer and thanked me for recording live music. I told them thanks, and that I have been recording for almost 29 years now.

Pie For Breakfast was the third song of the set and was really nice to hear live.
I will definitely see and record these guys again because they put on a great show.
During the encore I was able to make my way through the crowd (which was packed) to the front of the stage to get a set list once the show was over. The guy next to me gave me a dirty look when I pushed up to the stage but I smiled as I grabbed the set list and said that I needed it to be able to post the recording to the LMA. He said, ‘OK, go ahead’.

Another show successfully archived. In the words of another taper, ‘If it wasn’t recorded it’s just a memory’. Enjoy all.

OldNeumanntapr Notes:
I love Carolyn Wonderland. This was a great show and would have been a lot better recording if my levels hadn’t of been so high. I preset them in the car but the knob must have been bumped in the bag because when I got back to the car I noticed that the recorder was on 7 which is way too high, especially for being up front. Even after Dennis’s post production work there is still a hint of distortion on this, which bothers me because it could have been better if I just would have prevented the levels from getting too high. I really enjoyed Shelley King, who played acoustic guitar with Carolyn’s band, and also played solo acoustic to open the show with a couple of songs. She was pretty, had long brown hair and a big butt, PLUS was a pretty good singer and guitarist. What more could you want? 🙂
Carolyn plays a wicked blues guitar and really shines on lap steel. She alternated between guitar and trumpet for the Los Lobos song Cumbia Raza, and did a stellar job. I really kicked myself because if the levels were lower this could have been an A+ recording. It’s so hard to see the damn levels on the recorder in my hip pack at a stand-up show. I can’t bend my head down enough to check levels because it can pull the capsules loose from the hat. That actually happened early in the set, and I had to reinstall the mics, so I just decided to leave the deck alone. I had thought I set them conservatively enough, but didn’t realize that they were so high. I’m getting too old for these stand up shows anyway. My back really hurts afterward. I guess that’s why I’m the Old… Neumanntapr. 😉
Thanks to Dennis Orr for salvaging this recording. It’s not perfect but it’s better than it was. I shudder to think what it would have ended up sounding like if I tried to fix it. 😉

This was the first time that I had seen / recorded Charlie, and I thought he was an unreal musician. Plus, he was very accommodating to my request for audio taping and let me set up wherever I wanted. It was a small crowd in SLO Brew that night, but those who were there received an excellent performance. The band played with only onstage amps and didn’t want the house PA used. My friend Abe, a professional photographer I know, contributed some photos and they are used with permission.

This was another Bela Fleck show at the old Cuesta College Auditorium, which was located on the old campus behind the creek and once a part of the National Guard army base. The theater was built back during World War II and had amazing acoustics and a lot of charm but was a real eyesore and was eventually deemed to be not worthy for earthquake retrofitting and was abandoned in the late 2000s. Again, because of the cramped spaces in the aisles, the theater would not allow microphone stands so I had to hand-hold the Neumanns on a T-Bar. After the show I got my ticket stub signed by Bela.

This was the second time that I had seen and recorded James McMurtry. As I remember, the show was on a weeknight and I had to race up to SLO after work so I could be there on time. It was nice that there was no search at SLO Brew and I could go in ‘wired up’. I had a minor equipment problem at this show with a bad cable that later I thought might have been karma because McMurtry is so anti-taper! 😉 Thanks, as always, to Dennis Orr for his post production work.
