Tortoise
2009-05-30 The Bell House, Brooklyn, NY

An ACIDJACK master recording

SP-CMC-8 (AT U853 Cardiod Capsules w/ adapters & low sens mod)>SPSB-8 (flat response)>R-09HR (24/48)>Audacity (set fades, tracking, amplify each channel to 0dB)>FLAC (level 8)

Great set from Tortoise, who are about to debut a new album.  The Bell House made it explicit that stands were not allowed for this show, and indeed, no stands were present (including mine).  Although somewhat of a bummer (especially given this band's longstanding support of taping), this recording is made from the optimal spot in the venue, dead center stage about 15ft FOB.  The sound is excellent and crowd chatter during songs is virtually non-existent.  Please support Tortoise and buy their new record, "Beacons of Ancestorship," due out on June 23.
