The Horse Flies
Grandstand Stage, Grassroots Festival, Trumansburg NY
2008-07-19

Recorded by Gregrypeckry

Recorded from the right side of the stage, standing below the smaller hanging speaker (not in front of the main right column)
with the mic clipped to my stupid baseball hat.....seems to have eliminated a fair amount of the yak-yuck (hooray!).

Lineage: Sony ECM717 -> Sony MZ-R37 -> Sony RCD W500C -> CD-R -> WAVs -> FLACs 

Transfer done via analog, no sychro-dubbing used (which seems to have gone funny on the RCD), 
manual track marker insertions performed (ugh! & yikes!!!).

There's plenty of older live recordings at the Internet Archive as well.

This is an OK-sounding audience recording, I would rate it as a B+ at best, B to B- at worst;
as mentioned previously, positioning drastically reduced the massive crowd noise at this event. 
No funky EQ'ing, so-called re-mastering, etc. performed, so you get it as it came out, audience noises and all.
Certainly far less stress (for me, anyway) than bugging the sound-men and the 'others' for a patch;
it would be nice if a soundboard-sourced alternative would come forth, but please don't get your hopes up!

ENJOY!!!!!!!
