Detroit, MI
Majestic Theatre 

(Incomplete Recording)

Support: Buffalo Nichols (also recorded)
 
Master recording from halfway back, slightly right (stage left). 

Sure MV88 Mic - iPhone/Motiv-Audio app (24/48) -  
ProTools (mastered/EQ/Widen) - SoundForge (Splits, fades, FLAC).  
 
Sound quality is decent - I'd rate it a B/B-. The sound in
the room wasn't great - muddy and boomy, not much separation, 
vocals were buried. It improved a bit as the night went on. The 
recording might actually improve on what it sounded like, to be 
honest. The Majestic is always very hit and miss. 

I checked the recroding a few times and it was going fine, then I 
saw at the end it wasn't recording. I recovered a TMP file from 
the device, so apparently it failed during an auto-save or something, 
but it stopped halfway through "Surrender Under Protest." That's a 
bummer, but I was happy to recover about 3/5 of the show after I thought
it was a wash. 

The band was in great form, all business, tight, energetic, fun, dynamic. 
So glad to get to see them again for the 16th time.
