All recording, mastering & transferring done by CopyKatz Engineering. Taping & recording great music since 1972. 

This is my 10th posting of a recorded event online. Feel free to leave comments (positive or negative) so that as I dig 

into my vault for future postings I can make them the best possible for yinz all. I might strive to be, but never claim 

to be perfect!

          pair) ---> Pro Co DynaMike 224S cables ---> Tascam DR-680 with phantom power turned on (tracks 1 & 2) 
          mastering as 16bit/44100Hz .wav.

          This performance is 1 set with no encore break.



          *note: This is the 5th show for my Tascam DR-680 deck & 3rd for the omnidirectional capsules, I only use thr 

           omni caps when making a matrix recording.

          Katz tails: 



                First off, let me inform yinz all that even though both bands rocked the small crowd at the Rex, In my 

                opinion Ultraviolet stole the show ... I hope that when they travel thru the 'Burgh again that it is 

                with them being the headliner, & not the opening act!

                This was my 1st night out after getting over double pneumonia & am still on some strong meds, which 

                caused me to not be thinking correctly. I gave George 1 set of my XLR cables (thefemale ends) & took the 

                male ends ... well for a half hour I couldn't figure out how to plug in my mics, as they need the female 

                ends. I was getting PO'd as I haven't had this problem before. Finally I decided that I'd switch cables &

                plug my other set into the board ... That's when it hit me ... that the cables that were into the board

                didn't go to my mics ... they went into my deck. Having solved my problem I finally got everything set up 

                a minute before Ultraviolet took the stage. My levels were too hot for the first couple of minutes as I

                had used my deck to record some friends that get together weekly for basement jam sessions & due to the

                girlfriend of their drummer being home they had their levels low, so I had to bump up my deck's levels

                to get in the proper range. So please bare with the 1st couple minutes of this set.   

              

                                             So ... kick back ... n enjoy!!

          *someone please assist me in the missing song title (track 8) & correct me if have any of the others wrong ... 
           I gave them all my best shot! As this was my first time seeing them live, plus having never heard then before
           I'm hoping that I was correct on at least half of the titles  

               

               Many thanks to George, the house sound engineer, (for allowing me to receive the soundboard feed), both 
               Ultraviolet Hippipotamus & Dopapod not only for allowing recording, but also allowing the soundboard patch
               the Rex hospitality staff (for allowing me to enter early (due to a lawnmower accident if my foot 
               gets cold I'm in severe pain), the Rex security crew (for keeping a few drunks away from
               my rig) & to both bands (for putting on one hell of a great show!
