Comments: It was almost six months to the day since my last concert (six months and one day to be exact). I was going through some major concert withdrawal, considering I went to 22 last year, at least one every calendar month. I've had ten shows postponed over the past six months. I was excited to see a band I like playing one of these Drive-In shows, so I made the trip to New Jersey. (My state is not on New Jersey's quarrantine list, so I was good to go!)

This experience was surreal. What a strange way of seeing a show. The band was great, as usual. I was a little bummed at the shorter set, but pretty much figured that would be the case. I basically got two parking spots, one for my car, and one for my lawn chair. I must say, it was much nicer way to see a show than being in a cramped theater where the seats are on top of each other. So much leg room! My car turned into a Kitty Lickin' Discs mobile studio. I had actually tried to do four separate recordings, but I screwed up two of them. This one is the best of the lot, and one of the better sounding recordings I've made. I actually had the mics taped to the side view mirrors on either side of the car, so I got some good seperation. I was close to the stage, so sound is clear and crisp. Unfortunately, I forgot about wind screens, and there was some wind rumble. Not constant, I would say it affected about 5% of the show, and most of the time only in one channel. I patched these spots with the other channel (and added some faux-stereo seperation), and in some cases from the other recording that came out well. All in all, it was a great show, and I was just glad to get to see a concert again!

Artwork is included in the torrent, with photos from the actual show.

Please share this recording in unaltered lossless quality. If you need to remaster, or something, let me know, and I can provide the undedited raw master (without EQ/volume tweaks) for you to use.
