Recording Info: Recorded from the balcony using powered tie pin stereo mic into Sony D7 Dat at 44.1 kHz. Copied via spdif into Wave Repair to create tracks and then to Flac level 5. Tapers Notes: I recorded this show for a friend who had turned me onto Elliott's music, but couldn't go that night as he was seeing Dylan. I've listenned to it a lot over the past few years and with Elliott's tragic and untimely passing the recording has gained in significance and so I decided to share it with the legions of fans out there. It's a cracking show and the audience are really enthusiastic. The audio quality is very good and consistent throughout with no annoying chatter but a lot of screaming! The sound balance is good and probably helped by being recorded from the middle of the balcony, however that also gives the sound some hall ambience. I've treated the sound with a little compression to beef it up slightly. Hope you enjoy it and pass it on.
