Notes:
______________



Not one of my favorite or best recordings that I have done, however since not many other Audience recordings circulate, here this is. My recordings of the year before  in 1988 were much better and only the Toa K1â€™s. Overall a well played show and interesting selection of songs and a China > Rider first set closer was very exciting. I used a Sony MX-12 mixer, apparently grey market in the USA, That I found at the Rose Bowl flea market. The MX-12 is powered by 6 D cells and has only either 1/4â€ TS or RCA inputs for 6 channel mixer with 2 vu meters. This was a 4 mic mix Toa k1â€™s on wide bar spaced at 30â€ and the Sennheiser 416 t (I think) short shotguns into the mixer, mixed on the fly.  The 416â€™s were borrowed from an unnamed art college that I used to attend by an old friend, itâ€™s possible it was a pair of 415â€™s at some earlier shows I tried the 816 but liked the shorter 416/415â€™s better. Micâ€™s on same stand in the OTS just behind the board at one of my favorite outdoor venues. The Frost is so amazing and the sound was very full of fun. It was a windy day but you could see the wind sailing in the eucalyptus trees that surrounding the Amphitheater, at times this cause phasing and the music to swirl as well.  I think the mix was more of the 416â€™s then the Toa K1â€™s which I think lost out on the low end and some of the openness but it doesnâ€™t sound that bad. I think we were a level up and slightly on Philâ€™s side at the back corner of the house mix position, though its hard to remember exactly where we were. I didnâ€™t always take notes, sometimes I did other times I didnâ€™t and always thought Iâ€™d remember but now all these years later, it can be challenging. Set 2 sounds a bit more full, more to a k1â€™s in the mix, perhaps.

The microphone mix at the start of Jack straw seems to be 416 heavy but it getâ€™s dialed inâ€¦
Kentucky Derby Day hence the Race Is On! 
Interesting China > Rider first set closer, you can tell folks are happy on this sunny afternoon!

Very funk-groovy Not Fade Away.

I will also be sharing  the next day Sunday 1989-05-07 Billyâ€™s Birthday, because the two sources are in a similar configuration.


No other processing or eqâ€™ing
