Notes: 
A beautiful afternoon and evening on the historic Mare Island, outside on the waterfront adjacent to coal shed buildings 141 and 163. This was a mini festival-type event with vendors, art installations and the like. A few sailboats even passed close by to enjoy the music. The island is proving itself to act as another northern Bay Area music event location. The recordings came out pretty good, but the opening acoustic set is chatty in portions due to the mics being lower with people mostly seated and arriving. The following electric sets are much better. I tightened up the spacing of mics and opened the angle a bit for the JGB sets as more people filled in the area. The show had a hard stop at 10:00pm. A few very minor portions were mono-ized to reduce surrounding noise during the music.
