Rout of the Patagons - Opening Night

Maxell XLIIS, Sony WM-D3 w/Core-Sound LCBs in hat > Peak 3 > flac > you

I wasn't expecting a spoken intro by Oregon Public Broadcasting's own Christian Fodenvensal so I missed his first couple of lines, but the majority remains.

In the quieter parts, starting about midway through, you will likely notice what sounds somewhat like slight wind.  It was wind, refreshingly cool wind belching continuously from the intestines of the Crystal, much to my relief. It does come across a little though, only in a few places though.   Great show, first big one with Lisa Molinaro of Talkdemonic.  One of the better sounding nights for the Crystal Ballroom and the crowd wasn't even as chatty as they normally are!

Enjoy, seed, share, don't screw the band on this one. Buy their stuff, they deserve it. And they seem really nice, so there.
