Taper Notes:
This show was a great way to start off my first real vacation in close to 4
years. I have been dying to see Gov't Mule for years now and I finally got
my chance at the Water Street Music Hall.
At first the whole taping scene was real scetchy. They won't let us tape on the floor, or shall I say the SBD guy for Gov't Mule would not let me tape on the floor so Jeff and I
where forced to go upstairs which I thought was going to suck. Luckly
another guy has his schoeps mics mounted on a boom stand that lowered them
down below the balconey above the crowd right between the stacks. We used
Jeff's V2 pre-amp and my mini-me A/D converter with this guys mics and it
came out beatifully. This is one of my better recordings at Water Street and
the crowd noise was really minimal due to the excellent mic placement.
The show was incredible and Warren and band really seemed to lock into the
great vibe the packed house was supplying. They just wailed out great tune
after great tune and I was super impressed, can't wait to catch these guys
again at the GOTV. The 4 songs they did for encores really made the night
for me though, especially the Soulshine and Radioheads Creep. As I said
above the recording on this one is incredible and I am sure any one that
downloads it will agree, this was the real gem of the month. Enjoy!!!!
